This posting sounds not unlike many of mine; where things simply go awry. However, and as you state, things did turn round some for you and, if nothing else, you did get to enjoy a day out in the sunshine.

It is nice that we are able to share pics of each others world. I feel I know Bedford better than I know my town of Dayton.

And it doesn’t have to be the standard “beauty spots” or whatever… just normal scenes that capture the “flavour” of a place.

So, in turn, that’s what I try to do as well. Just ordinary things that happen to catch my attention. Very often stuff that most people would take for granted. But I’m always so conscious that what I may take for granted a stranger to the place may find of absorbing interest.

I think that’s one of the reasons I do so many shots of “weeds”. The usual horticultural “beauty” tends not to catch my eye anywhere near as often as the indigenous wild flowers and stuff which, though common as dirt over here, may seem quite unusual and captivating to someone not accustomed to seeing them.

AND, I am thankful you share said photos. England is truly a beautiful country and more importantly, very beautiful through your view finder.
