Some older ones
Recently keyed in a large batch of photos from 1991, the first year that Chip and I spent living
in the suburbs of Bristol.
Here's a totally random selection
Exotic bloom
Chip models the then-new kundalini serpent T. I still wear it today
Summer bedding
Our house in Oldland Common
Narcissus
A Tiffany lamp enjoys its own reflection
Sweet pea explosion
Roar
Punctuation mark
Comma butterfly on a buddleia flower
The Turtle and the Whippet
A modern take on Aesop and the Moebius mystery
Pyramid power
Dropping in
Michael says, 'Hi.'
Contemplation
Knees out for the lads
Summer tourists outside the Pump Rooms in Bath
Balloonatics
Bristol's annual hot air balloon festival coming towards us on a westerly wind
Bill sparks one up
RV's flat, Dolphin Square
Drop
The Old Geezer
Terry lived in the house next door to where Chip moved in Bristol in 1987 and they became firm friends;
so much so that, in the absence of parents, he 'gave her away' at our first wedding
Homeland
A wide angle shot of the Golden Valley, which lay between our home in Oldland, on the outskirts of Bristol, and Bath.
The high ground to the right is Landsdown, site of Civil War battle and Bath racecourse. The high ground to the left,
with its distinctive line of trees, is Freezing Hill
Quiet flows the Avon
The tree-crowned Kelston Round Hill in the distance
Reggie
Reggie belonged to Paul (see below)
Bandstand
Bath
Paul
First met Paul at university. He became a career teacher (now retired), a former colleague of our
very own Mr Stephen Carlsson
Triumph
Sallywags gets the ball
Dyinglight no. 379

Cheers, ’skope! It does look like one of those places where bands went to get their heads together in the country (man). I don't know if you were on the board when I posted this one of one of my student digs in 1972 that really ought to have been an album cover:
This one is also a good shout:
Incidentally, I've noticed that proportionately more ex-pats respond to these pics than any other group. Do you miss the English countryside / townscapes, Adam?

Re: An image (or two, or three) a day...
Just for fun, a rare dip into the scanned prints on photobucket. Apologies if I've put up any of these before – I don't even try to keep track.
And as these were scanned several years ago, when I did not have the technology I have today, the quality isn't up to usual standards.
And some of the pics I scanned had been cut up to fit into the mega-collage of The Trip Room
The SIlver Ball
Brizzle, 21st century
Loot
All 15 of these singles were bought cheap - no more than 20p each. About £2.50 the lot. I sold them to one guy for a total of £950
Wales across the water
looking across the Severn Estuary from Clevedon
Pulp on Drugs!
Includes first edition of Burroughs's first novel
The Two Teds: Opium dreams
Moving Day
Torrington 2010
Ladder
Kez at Jacob's Ladder Beach, Sidmouth
Flowers
Water coltsfoot (??crowsfoot) in bloom at Weare Giffard
Patio set
Goginan
Slash
Homage to Pound
1972
Mr & Mrs Watson & Booger

All right, another place to archive the Raygetography.
Sorry, I must have left the portable CT scanner in my other pair of pants.

oops, it's been too long again. Cheers, Anna.

warmed Nepalese resin
Floral filigree
Knautia macedonica dances in the sunshine
Rocks
four pieces of North African resin and some Shiny Black in orbit around a bowl
