If I get it right I think you are giving it five stars.  Thank you.

 

Allan (and only a  tog).

 

I had to find it three separate times.  Did you do it five separate times?

Alan, sometime back I did try to book an economical Lincoln City Airbnb for the steampunk event but all was booked. Obviously left it too late.

Sorry to hear that. If you had mentioned it I could have offered you a bed in my spare bedroom.

Thought it was time to upload some holiday images. Still have vertigo so just picked a couple - Christmas: a-cut-kitten-looks-trhough-the-branches-

 

and Halloween:

Hoping I'll feel up to shooting a bunch of Halloween concepts I'd planned on ages ago but I'm afraid it's probably already too late. Went out in my garden to find my lettuce had bolted - I didn't realize it could do that - took a few pix so maybe some harvest images - used my Oly so I don't have as much trouble with LRc. 

 

@Allan Bell  That Steampunk festival looks like fun!

Yes it is fun but I only did the first day. It goes on for four days.

 

Marianne I am sorry that you are still suffering from vertigo. I have had it and find it very hard to live with it.

 

One time I had it for no apparent reason and my doctor gave me some tablets one to be taken 2 - 3 times a day which seemed to have some affect on it. The tablets were called "Prochlorperazine tablets" prochlorperazine maleate.  5mg.  It was a box of 28 tablets and it seems that I had 23 of them - five left in the box. Issued 2015. Out of date 2019.

But have kept the box just in case I need to order some more from my doctor.

 

Don't know what you have been given by your medics but might be worth chasing up.

Spoilt for choice saturday, could have gone to:

 

Bristol Open doors: behind the scenes at public buildings.

Extinction Rebelion Youth March through Bristol

Gloucester Gay Pride March

Tour of Britain cycling, lots of fun looking through Google to find a shooting spot within parking range! A more dedicated photog would have taken an Uber!

Hot weather in parks

 

In the end I went to the Jane Austen Parade in Bath...

 

 

 

 

 

Bath, UK. 9th Sep, 2023. The Grand Regency Parade marks the start of Bath's annual Jane Austen festival. The annual festival draws Austen enthusiasts from all over the world, the procession of around 500 people in costume is the start of a week of Austen inspired events. Starting from the Holbourne Museum the procession makes its way through historic streets, little changed since Austen's time, to the Assembly Rooms.

Looking at the papers the Cycle race would have been more commercial, but the stock potential for Jane Austen is always sound.

 

Was able to say hello to Lynchpics as well. A good days snapping in awful light.

oh Mister Bell you've done well...
first two images are excellent!
posed yet natural;
busy background yet it all fits together;
great lighting & processing, IMO
they NEED to license many times each !!

Thank you.
