Oh well. Best move myself

Around Bedford _G105970

Past few weeks the weather’s been… er… “curious”. Brilliantly sunny one day, rain the next, and then days of overcast skies. Or sometimes all in one day! Not really very much of a Summer so far.

Yesterday saw me in town and, as normal, at my favourite watering hole.
But it was simply far too nice to stay indoors… the camera was calling to me.
Usual stunt in such circumstances, once ensconced in my fave seat with a mug of coffee in front of me, is to put off movement by muttering to myself “Can’t be bothered to shift now… I’ll have a pic sesh tomorrow”.
But, having observed the bizarre fluctuations in the weather this year I’ve finally come to the conclusion that there’s no guarantee “tomorrow” will be as nice as “today”.

Hmm.

Oh well. Nowt for it. Best move myself.

Only snag is, I’m finding all my usual haunts around the town are failing to inspire like they used to… just taken far too many pics of the damn place already.

Nevertheless, I decide to take a stroll in the general direction of Priory Country Park, just on the outskirts of the town.
But didn’t quite get that far.
Cos I discovered some hitherto unexplored little pathways that proved rich in opportunity for a few shots.

Then, on the way back, decided to have a peek at the deliciously named “Gudgeon’s Meadow”.

    You are having the same strange weather we are. I am tired of overcast days and rain. Perhaps this weekend I’ll get out for some shots. I’ve got ideas of places to go…if it’ll stop raining long enough.

    This morning (0600) it’s already overcast and so humid! Not sure what the rest of the day will bring.

    Love your pics. The inspire me.

    Alas, time fo get ready for work…first a nice cup of decaf!

      Yeah, I think all this unsettled nonsense is everywhere. Just as well I grabbed the opportunity on Tuesday cos Wednesday wasn’t very nice at all. Didn’t rain exactly but looked as though it might at any moment, and generally pretty depressing.

      Just as well p’raps cos I had a load of computer stuff to catch up on.

    For not feeling particularly inspired you managed some awfully nice shots. Maybe you should feel less motivated more often?
