Hunkering Down: From the Balcony 23rd March – 19th April

04.20.2020 by Trish // 2 Comments

(Bad language ahead!)

A friend of mine posted on Facebook last week, suggesting an activity  we might like to do now that we’ve got time. A friendly, helpful post. As always I looked at the comments.  The first one hit me “You’re fucking joking aren’t you?” And more comments from women who obviously didn’t have time. Now, I am very aware that there are lots of folk out there who are struggling with home schooling, working from home and  wondering how they are going to put one foot in front of the other. I feel for them and every day I am ever so grateful that I am not in that position, that I have a beautiful home to live in, plenty of food to eat and my biggest problem is that  I miss all my kids so much and I can’t wait to hug them all. 

One project that has been on  my “When I Retire”  list, now renamed my “While I am in self-isolation” list  is to take a photo from the same place on my balcony every day for a year with my proper non-Apple camera. (By the way, my self-isolation has so far lasted longer than any of my previous retirements!) An interesting project given that I had every intention of doing a lot of travelling!

Anyway now is as good a time to make a start, let’s see how far through the year we get. Here are the first four weeks, no editing other than some cropping and to take out the power line which dominates every photo I take from the balcony.  The camera is ready – aim, click!

For the next four weeks I am going to take the photo at the same time every night, and I hope to make a start on a photo editing course I bought online a few years ago so I may have a play. I’ll look forward to sharing them. Keep safe y’all.
