I am glad of the good memories on days like these.
This poem (transcribed here by my mum), as well as those in the same collection, spoke deeply to me in the weeks after we lost Lucy; Michael Faber's words did much to help me feel less alone in that time, and helped me to start to process things.
I'm grateful to him for sharing his and Eva's story in this book.

A backup photo from my walk in the woods a few days ago.
Bigger than yesterday's contribution.
A backup photo today.
This one's a focus stack of 15 shots taken with the camera's internal focus bracketing.
No idea what sort, but it was rather diminutive.
This one's a stack of 10 shots using the camera's internal focus bracketing.
A highly advanced new camera support solution was used here - my dad's wallet turned out to be the perfect size to prop the lens at the right angle!
Apropos of nothing, I was musing recently on why tilt-shift lenses don't seem to be so readily available for mirrorless systems.
I suspect the answer lies substantially in the straightening capabilities of editing software such as Lightroom - this photo wasn't taken straight on, but the distortion has almost completely been removed with the transformation tool in LR.
An odd coincidence that I should have an image to apply the technique to so soon after my disjointed musings.
And an unoccupied bridge.

I saw my patio had dried unevenly after rain this morning when I stopped work for a coffee, and thought it made for an interesting pattern. Then I spotted this little seedling appearing through the slats, and thought it made for a more interesting photo, so this is what I'm inflicting on you today.
Another backup photo today, and I had to dig back rather a long way into the archives for this one, I've become very sluggish with my photography recently. Even when I've taken the camera out with me, I've ended up not shooting anything much.
I'm thinking I'm probably going to call a halt to the project, at least for a while, once I've hit 1000 days, which will be towards the end of the month.
Leave your bike, and all.

I went shopping the other night and saw a pack of Iced Gems on the shelf.
Iced Gems were one of the treats that were a regular offering at my Granny's as kids.
I've not had them, or even seen them on sale for years, so I decided that I had to buy them for the memories.
I thought I was going to get run over for a moment here...
A backup photo today, shot yesterday.
The year somehow feels like it's lurched forward all of a sudden recently, I have become reacquainted with cold toes and dimming evenings.
I went into town this afternoon to buy some studio flashes for a project I want to do, which will require mains powered flashes.
I quite liked this bit of graffiti that has popped up here.
So, it's day two of two, and customs still have my widget in their sweaty little paws.
Today therefore turned into madly clicking refresh on the DHL tracking page while designing a mounting frame, followed by a factory visit, lunch, and back to the airport.
Home late, just in time for no tea and no medals. Boo.
A backup photo today.
Customs still have my widget, so I spent the day working from my hotel room.
Got a fair amount of work done, and had a pizza for lunch though, so that's always a positive.
