First off, apologies to anyone panting after the next instalment, but I am afraid that a mixture of the restrictions of covid19, the enervatingly hot weather in the UK and a more general loss of heart has left me feeling ambivalent-tipping-towards-antipathetic about photographs - taking them, editing them, looking at them, captioning them. It will probably pass, but until it does, here's a few I can share, without particular enthusiasm.
All in familiar places, first couple of weeks of June.

There's a bit of a curse on my photography at the moment – the new monitor for the desktop where I work on the photos died suddenly in mid-viewing, so I had to use an old one with a dodgy display, then photobucket disappeared so I couldn't access it at all, and last night my camera died. This morning, the camera revived, then photobucket sort of reappeared, if dodgily, so I thought I would give this a go before it all fell apart again. From the middle of June
