About this blog:
A semi-random collection of pictures of various things in various places at various times - updated daily unless & until I run out of material...
All shots are taken by me and almost all with a Canon Powershot G9. As yet, I have no extra equipment or lenses to go with the camera, but I'm hoping this will change soon...
This is my main blog. For my art 'swaps', see:

About Quango-Bingo:
This is a simple game played by two or more people where words or phrases are 'traded' in turn by players.
Rules:
- All words/ phrases must have two syllables
- The second syllable must be an 'o' sound
- Repetition and hesitation are not allowed
For such a simple game, it can get quite tricky - especially if a lot of people are involved.

Quango-Bingo Travels: France, March 2012 - Day 4: Building
An update on Team A.
Last year, these girls built a nest in my mum’s greenhouse (bottom photo). They’re not keen on using it again, instead preferring to start from scratch. This year, though, there seem to be different factions - at least three different nests have been started - all within a foot of the original nest.
My mum’s happy with them being there - she talks to them when she goes in to water the plants and (*fingers crossed*) they seem like a pretty docile bunch :)
As for Team B, they have also re-started their nest (though as this is in the lid of the wood burner, it’s likely to be a short-lived venture once again).

Quango-Bingo Travels: France, March 2012 - Day 2 (continued): Textures and Patterns
Featuring lichen on a terracotta roof, the remains of Team A’s nest from last year, star-shaped nails on the greenhouse door and soot in the wood-burner.
Aside from miniature worlds and tiny beasties, I really love finding patterns, textures and shapes when I’m out with my camera. I really think that, when you get in close, things take on a whole new aspect. Truly magical.

‘Chirping, chirping, chirping! Always with the chirping!’
Some days, Hershel wished he could just fly away already.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the garden, Team B had some serious catching up to do…
