Today was still cold yet brightly sunny.
On my recent poles practice perambulation I passed
a pretty primrose bank outside No. 19 Downton Lane, and repeated the trip with camera this morning. This was the first time I had managed the camera round my neck while clutching poles, and consequently requires somewhat awkward manoeuvring.
On my return I also photographed lesser celandines and daffodils,
including our own in the raised bed at the lane entrance to our Back Drive built by Martin to deter drivers from flattening the flowers we attempted to grow there before.
Continuing my attempt to reduce the number of pictures in my iPhotos while continuing to publish new ones, I retained only one image from

This evening we dined on thick crust pepperoni pizza with fresh salad with which I drank Reserva Privada Chilean Malbec 2023
Congratulations on your growing process with your poles. Lovely pictures too.
Lovely photos, Derrick! Pizza is sooo good.
I agree that poles and cameras do not make a comfortable combination. There is no easy solution as far as I can see. Do you have your hands through the wrist straps on the poles when you walk?
I must confess
Our aging awkwardness
Is becoming harder to address
Nonetheless
Life’s progress
Is an ongoing process
Spring is definitely springing in our part of the world and your beautiful photos prove this! <3
The daffodils in the raised bed look so cheerful!
So beautiful. The daffodils! It is early for us, but I did see a robin today so spring is coming!
You continue to inspire me with your pole practice and beautiful daffodils.
Sunshine makes all the difference on a cold day! Looks like Martin’s raised bed is working 🙂
