These are yesterdays photos, photos from and for Friday 29th of April. There were a few distractions yesterday, mainly things imbibed and scoffed, and a little matter of the future King of England and current Duke of Cambridgeshire getting hitched.

11 AM was Pimms O'Clock and the camera came out for social photography (Facebook filling) only. So I've struggled to find 5 shots I feel I can grace the galleries of Flickr and my blog with. So I'm going to cheat today, I'm skipping one of my 5 a day (let's say it's the banana that I usually have chopped up with my muesli) and help myself to an extra Will & Kate cupcake instead.

Yumm!

On a sidenote, I met a keen amature photographer yesterday and wanted to share her website.

5 a Day Challenge: Day 7

Today Prince William and Kate Middleton become the Duke and Duchess of Cambridgeshire after exchanging vows at Westminster Abbey in front of a waiting nation. Yesterday wedding fever had already gripped the capital and there were many people enjoying the weather and the atmosphere of the wedding.

I'm rather cynical about the whole affair, I'm grateful for the day off and but I can not help but look on at the circus London has become with a derisive sneer.

I'm not sure if that cynicism has touched my photography, I will let you decide.

Oh, and there's a photo of a couple of flowers in there too... just because.

And screw it, have a panoramic shot of the lake too...

5 a Day Challenge: Day 6, Photos 2 to 4

The issue with this challenge, well, one of the many issues of this challenge is that at some point I will be forced to record the minutia of my life and present it as something other than the humdrum. So instead of photos of say, a classic car, you get photos of my new climbing shoes and my ashy ankle, or instead of a night shot of the HMS Westminster you get three cocktails (all mine by the way) lined up on a messy table (no leading lines, no golden rule)... I'm sorry. I will try harder, raise the standard and lower the alcohol level.
