I began this blog on October 1st 2013 when I was 6 months away from my 50th Birthday and wanted to daily record my year with the blog ending on September 30th 2014. Five years later as I approached 55 I repeated this. Now ten years after this all began as I prepare to reach my 60th birthday in 2024 once more a daily update beginning on October 1st 2023 and ending on 30th September 2024. It is a personal journey, which others may find mind-numbing!

May 14th 2014
Opportunistic photography is the name of the game, and as we all have camera's in our mobile phones, what was until relatively recently a moment of inspiration can now be preserved for ever. Can the image ever recreate the moment? Stationary at some traffic lights in North Somerset this pick-up Land Rover pulled alongside. As I sat there the two (there may have been three) collies in the back looked out eagerly at the scene around them. Two different species, a commuting hominid and an intelligent canine, both trapped in a tin box looking at each other as the traffic built up around them. Soon the lights changed green and we were both off on our separate journeys. However unlike this hominid who would soon swap a tin box in motion for an office with a computer, my voyeuristic collies would I expect be unleashed soon on a wary sheep or two. I know which car I'd rather be riding in on this glorious of May days as the sun shone down most pleasantly.
