Woof, I’m six weeks old
A few weeks ago I posted a couple of pics of some two day old puppies. Today I went to visit them again, and look how they’ve grown. They weren’t very keen on standing still for photos, however.

The best thing to do at traffic lights
This clearly appealed to a number of drivers who seemed happy to put money in the bucket before driving off. Every time the lights went to red the jugglers went out into the middle of the road, bowed to the stopped traffic, and began juggling. When the pedestrian lights warned them, they stopped, bowed again, picked up their buckets and moved between the first couple of rows of cars, before heading for the central island. As an added irony this piece of playful vagabondary took place at the foot of the deadly seriousness of the Siegesäule.

Highest waterfall in England and Wales
No, I’m not sure how to pronounce it, but I was fascinated to discover Pistyll Rhaeadr with friends and colleagues today, the highest waterfall in Wales, at 240 ft. It is at Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant, another place name I struggle with. In the first picture, note the natural rock arch the waterfall passes under between the higher and lower levels.

Old dog joke
But with a lovely photo of my neighbour’s dog included.
Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic with insomnia?
He used to lie awake in bed at night wondering if there was a dog.

A Happy and Pictorial 2008
I wish you all a very Happy New Year. I am not going to make any resolutions. I am going to try to pay more serious attention to my photography this year, however. This is a photo taken at dusk tonight of Worcester Cathedral.

A fete not worse than death
I’m still recovering from the joys of our parish summer fete this evening. I’m sure you won’t want me to bore you with the details, but I was rather pleased with this photo.

Ein Kerem
A composite photo for all of us celebrating the birth of St john the Baptist tomorrow. This takes a picture of the statue of Mary and Elizabeth that’s actually sited in the courtyard of the Church of the Visitation, and combines it with one of Ein Kerem, traditional site of the Baptist’s birth, taken across the valley. Both originals were taken on the Feast of St John’s Nativity, 2005
