Hi Pauline,Hope your back isnt playing up too much!
Tried taking shots of sparrows in the garden today and was amazed that I have got 2 that are rather good.Think it helped that it was sunny and they were only about 10ft away though,put them in my gallery if you want to look them over.
Hope the weather isnt as bad as they said it would be where you are and you are enjoying your weekend,
regards ellen
Hi Pauline, I think the weather can be a factor as regards arthritis etc.My back isnt too bad at moment(touches wood!!).As you say once you have a back problem its a weakness for life.Hope that your back doesnt get too bad,its so debilitating especially if your job dictates a lot of walking/standing around.Rustys is sound again-he has been on light walks but tomorrow will go for longer trek.Weather does look good for the weekend,sorry it doesnt look so good where you are.But they have been wrong-you never know may be nicer than you think.Thanks for the encouragement again re: photos,must admit am looking forward to the dark mornings as we really do get lovely sunrises(and sunsets for that matter)over the Thames estuary.Also hope to get down to Leigh marshes to photograph the brent geese-wonderful to see them flying in!!
Take care,hope your back doesnt get worse and have a good few days off!!

I certianly like it, and know the basics, but for me cameras are on of those gadgets that need to be part of you all the time so it all sinks in to the "little-grey-cells" busy today another funeral this afternoon, off to work shortly just to check things out. Well pop round for a few mins about 9-30 if that's ok. Don't stay in for me if you decide to go for it. Davy
Hi Pauline, Glad your back is ok at mo.Mine has been playing up lately,I get lumbago and sciatica-which really is a pain in the b**! My dog Rusty has been in the wars too,thought he had broken a toe but turned out it was bruised.So what with me bent over and him limping we looked a picture!! For a week I didnt go for our daily walks and I really missed them.Was glad to be able to get out Sunday,(me and the dog were fitter by then!!)when I took the latest shots.Think atmospheric shots seem to be my specialty!! Have really enjoyed using the camera,learning all the time with it,am even thinking of getting a calender done as xmas pressies of my "best" shots-if I get enough!!!
Anyway glad you are feeling fit and hope the gout goes soon!!
Thanks for your encouragement on the photo front,take care
Ellen
