Damp Spectrum

More WiFi fixing this evening, momentarily paused by the appearance of a cracking rainbow.
I didn't have a real camera on me, but the phone actually managed this fairly well.

Revisiting "my" tree, a now very-occasional theme I used quite regularly a while ago.

I'd never noticed that the latch on this gate made for a convenient frame before - maybe it's previously been flipped over the other way, or maybe I'm less observant than I thought.

A backup photo today, a busy one at work followed by WiFi trouble shooting for family members meant I didn't shoot anything.

Uncounted

Probably.
But I certainly didn't count them.

Missing Piece

I found myself really missing Lucy this evening. Why today more than any other day, I have no idea. Just the way it goes, I suppose.

I went out for a drive and ended up by the river, where we often used to go after work to have a change of scene.
After I sat there for a few minutes, I remembered that we often used to go and get a cortado from the Starbucks drive through. Back in the days of COVID shielding, it felt like a relatively safe treat.

Anyway, I went and got our old order and sat in the car drinking cortado, watching the rain, and replying to a slightly curious work email until it got dark.

Yes, I know Starbucks are money-grabbing, tax-evading scumbags (and probably more besides), but I'm putting nostalgia over corporate boycotts tonight.

[This is the sort of post that will probably make certain people worry about me. If you're one of those people - don't worry, I'm OK]

Poppy

I think this is the first half-decent poppy shot I've taken this year.
I rather like them, little explosions of red against the green background of grass or crops.

Time To Reflect

I do enjoy an evening walk by the river.
A backup photo, my sound man hat was firmly affixed to my head today.

Riverside Chillout

Such a pleasant evening that I went for two consecutive walks!
I was supposed to be going shopping, but that got pushed back so far that my usual places had shut for the night, so I ended up in Asda at midnight.
C'est la vie.
