Locked forever in his heart

If you can't be arsed to click through to see the large size, etched onto the padlock is "Principessa I will always love you" and it is signed "Schultz".
I hope this catches on - I was imagining tens of thousands of these attached to Charing Cross bridge, so many that the structure itself threatens to collapse into the Thames under the weight of all that LOVE...

Trees, benches, fog

This is version four or five and I don't think it is working yet. I'll leave it up for a while and see if it grows or weakens - I suspect the latter.

Get new Gmail! Now even worse!

OK hand that feeds and so on but why (oh why etc) is Gmail now slower than it used to be with a loading bar running before the page appears? This didn't used to happen (pardon the grammar). Some sort of upgrade? It has improved on my phone though, and maybe the two phenomena are connected in some way?
Anyway, I'm off out for a coffee and some freezing spring air.

You can, I think, tell it was taken with a film camera

Taken using an old FM2 and some black and white film (sorry - can't remember brand of film). A number of points of note:
1. The prints, straight from the chemists are, without exception, awful - terrible lack of contrast and flat as pancakes.
2. It is nice to use a lens with depth of field again - this taken with an 85mm f2.8 - very old (second hand when I bought it about 17 years ago) but still, I think, producing nice results.
3. Perhaps a combination of digital for post-processing and film for the original exposure is the way to go?

Worth clicking on to see it large. Honest.

There are less picturesque places to fertilize.

Dreadful photo, cute subject

I know, I know, awful picture. But look, ducklings! 14 of them! With one mother! Albeit that 9 and 11 look like they are fostered... Go on, click on it, you know you want to - those little fluffy features, their cute tiny wings...

Odd Terra Scratchings

What is going on at 53 degrees 00'14.05" Nth, 3 degrees 08'04,93" Wst? Weird ground markings is what. Anyone got any ideas (see Google Earth, satellite view for details).
