Thing-a-Day #28 : Done!
Thing-a-Day #28 : Done!, originally uploaded by kcm76.
The final Thing-a-Day for this year. I started with a self-portrait, so I’ll end with one.
Thing-a-Day #27 : Crazed Window
Today I’ve made a magic circle from a rejected photo of a smashed, Washington, DC shop window which I took last September.
Thing-a-Day #26 : Mother
Today we made a 250 mile round trip to see my aged mother and take her to see several residential homes for the elderly.
Thing-a-Day #25 : At the Dentist
Well what can I say, except I had to visit the dental specialist in Harley Street today. It was slightly surreal. This is my impression of the afternoon (rain omitted).
Thing-a-Day #24 : Off My Trolley
Taken a few days ago at the supermarket.
Thing-a-Day #23 : Aboriginal Art
Spotted this piece of aboriginal art on the kerb outside my doctor’s surgery in west London today. It is of the ancient rare form created by the local Workman Tribe.
Thing-a-Day #22 : Newsletter
In the last few days, and again today, I have been making the next edition of “my” literary society’s quarterly Newsletter. The Editor sends me the text (and sometimes pictures) for the major stories; I fill in all the Society news, etc. and typeset it for the printers. This issue isn’t finished yet as I still have a couple of pieces to write and a couple of pages to fill, but it should get to the printer in the next week. Meanwhile here’s a quick scan of my scribbled upon draft front page. For more details on the Anthony Powell website.
Thing-a-Day #21 : Cyclamen Haiku
Following on from yesterday’s photo of the cyclamen in our garden, here’s a quick linked haiku …
