Hawkshead and Tarn Hows
 
So yeah . . . M**** was complaining that my web-site is boring; I haven't updated it for ages, so here's me addressing that. As part of my birthday yesterday (well, I wasn't born until the evening),
 
I took today off work and we got the ferry to Hawkshead. This is us having arrived slightly too late and now second in the queue for the next ferry 'run'. In of those pictures to the left a fly had got a bit too close to A****** and he kind of freaked a bit.

Yeah. So we got the ferry over to Hawkshead (I just said that), had lunch, visited this playground and drove to Tarn Hows. The rest of these pictures are taken from Tarn Hows. In a bizarre turn of events, we were blessed with sun and warmth, whilst Lancaster was decidedly grey and murky. How exciting.

Yes, yes, yes. Those three pictures to the left I did carefully line up using the 'stitch assist' mode on my camera. I've had varying degrees of success in merging them together, but currently lack the will/inclination. You can kinda see how they would merge together anyway.

These are various pictures of A****** throwing bread to a couple of vaguely hungry duck/geese things (god, I don't know), with M**** watching (hands-on-hips) in the distance. M**** thought the ducks were going to peck the bread out of A******'s hand or something, but nothing happened, A****** merely laughing at the ducks and trying to imitate the appreciative sounds they were making.

. . . and then a few more pictures of this lake thing (actually, this is Tarn Hows itself, but hey), with me trying to experiment with different shutter speeds . . . well, I say that, but I've actually deleted all the other pictures. M**** was questioning the lengthy process between taking pictures and actually making them available on my web-site. I tried to explain how I tend to take far too many photographs and then delete all the rubbishy ones, which is surely the whole point of digital photography. Trouble is, it seems to take me ages to decide which ones to delete. Erm . . . I think I had a point to make here, but now I forget . . . all these photographs use up valuable hard-drive space as well.
