Day 181 Tiny People

Quite a few of you will have already seen today's image. It was just a quick snapshot take with my phone using Instagram, that has really grown on me.

I love the way tilt shift makes people look like ants on a model, scurrying around seemingly in utter chaos.

So that's the weekend done, back to the joys of work tomorrow.

Day 180 Mr and Mrs Adams

Another wedding day today, and this wedding was a very unique occasion with the Joe and Joanne putting their own stamp all over the day.  The weather held out and the setting was sublime. A lot of hard work and effort had obviously gone into their day (not that it hasn't gone into other weddings I've been too) with so many hand made touches.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Adams, I wish you the very best in your future together.

Day 179 Wimbledone!

It has to be done I suppose, its a great british tradition, and it also doubles up for a competition I wanted to enter, unfortunately not a photography competition, but rather one at work for something completely different.

This is what Wimbledon generally means to a lot of us Brits....

Camera is now packed away ready for a wedding tomorrow.

Have a good weekend folks.

Day 177 An Early Happy Birthday

Yesterday I got my first birthday present this year, and what an amazing present it is. My wife has known for a while that I have wanted a new putter and have long since lusted after the Ferrari of putters, an Odyssey. She set me off with one instruction, to come back happy.

So I went and tested a load of them out (who knew the world of putters was such a minefield) and after a long and protracted trial (including trying several different brands) I settled on an Odyssey Versa (and here's the kicker) Number 7 putter.

Odyssey have long given their putters simplistic numeric names, and I have to be honest and say I didn't know that I was buying a 7 when I left the shop, it was only after cleaning it before putting it away after a successful putt yesterday that I noticed. Obviously meant to be.

The image is 2 fold though as the ball is a souvenir from my walk around the Ailsa course when I first went to Turnberry and yesterday I also booked my fathers fathers day and birthday presents that will see us both play the Kintyre course in July. I can't wait!!!

I think the front garden could do with some work before it becomes a decent practice green though!

Day 176 Ugly Ducklings

Another round of golf today and still the Dawson Course continues to get the better of me. However the signets were looking more fluffy than ever! 

Soon they will be joining their parents in flying around the course scaring the shot out of all the golfers!

Day 175 Killing time.

Monday night is Brownies night, not for me but for Erin. Which leaves me with an hour and a quarter to kill. So what better way to do it than going for a walk along the beach and through the harbour.

Blyth's harbour is a lot quieter than I remember it as a child, no where near the number of active fishing vessels, and all the places we used to go crawling as kids are now locked behind fences for 'health and safety' reasons. Or in other words, we don't want to get sued reasons.

Anyway, there are still a good few boats about so that is the subject of todays image.

Until tomorrow....
