We drove into town today, for lunch at Mad Hatters. I took a few autumn photos whilst walking from the car park to the cafe. After our lunch, we found a jackdaw who was having fun with a leaf, and kept giving us quizzical looks. Surprisingly, it stayed still for long enough [...]

We went out for a fun walk today.  We started by heading down to the old railway line, which has been converted into a nice tree-lined walkway.  When we ran out of walkway there, we cut up the lane to join the Grand Western Canal, and back along there to the Ducks Ditty, for a [...]

Spotted this one day as we were wandering around Tiverton.  Had to grab a shot.

The walls of the youth club here in Tiverton are given over to graffiti - no idea if it reduces the amount of graffiti done in other places around the town, but it makes the club itself bright and colourful.  As we were passing it last week, I snapped a few close-up shots.

Whilst wandering around Tiverton, I spotted a stone wall (the side of a council building on Old Road) with some interesting patterns.  Yes, of course I took some photos…

One of the things that really surprised me about coming to Devon was how common buzzards are here.  I’d only seen one once or twice in Nottinghamshire, but here there are plenty.

Yet somehow, I’ve not managed to get a photo.

They aren’t the friendliest of birds, I suppose.  They don’t come close, and although I’ve caught [...]

I processed a batch of photos yesterday, and uploaded them to Flickr.  Without realising it, four of them in a row were just titled for the letters and numbers that appeared in the photo:

HELLO

GRIT SALT

G

From the same grit bin, just the G:

I loved the colours in the peeling paint on this door:

Donkeys May Bite

We had a walk over to West Exe Park today, where Tiverton Town Band were playing a concert.  It’s not often you see a bandstand being used for its intended purpose these days.

Photos follow, but a brass band really needs video first:

The Horns

The Audience

Emo fence has been crying.

This fence is just down Canal Hill from home - it looks unhappy.  It would probably be happier if it was facing the canal, rather than looking out onto the road.

I’m mainly posting this for the sake of trying out WordPress’ built-in image and media handling.  It all seems quite [...]

I had a couple of days off this week, so I walked with Sam as she was going to work, then walked back home. We walked around by the River Exe on Thursday morning, to kill a little time before Sam needed to be at work. Someone had disposed of a rusted old moped by parking it in the river.

I can never resist photographing rusty things.
