Finally sunshine

Although it's not meant to last, but last night I stayed out until sunset with the camera. Got eaten by midges, but got a few nice shots, especially this one of a local pond, last rays on the sun hitting the reeds.

The Herald supplement will be this Saturday, but they're not featuring every shot so mine may not make it. But I've learned there are 36 shots in the exhibition, from 900 entries, so I didn't do too badly. Dates and venues are to follow.

Also trying to write some things for our writers' group annual competition. Editing and editing, and still not sure if I'm getting there. You're only allowed one piece of prose and one poem, so a lot rides on what you decide to submit. Also got a reading at the Book Festival with the Poetry Pamphlet group. Trying to decide what to read, although a friend has offered to give me a one to one coaching session, so that should help. Have to do a bit of Peeling Onions, plus I want to do the new poem about the 5 years out photograph, and some other bits to lighten it up.

Off to grab some more sunshine/cut the grass while the going is good.
