A day of Joy

30 Aug 2016 11:15PM   Views : 735 Unique : 460

Each Tuesday I visit an elderly friend named Joy who moved into a care home last December. She is 97 and still very sharp witted and enjoys a good natter. She is named Joy because she was born on Armistice day 1918 and so she is looking forward to her hundredth birthday. I think I shall make my next personal challenge taking some portraits of her as she may trust me to do a good job of it.

In the meantime I shall show you this portrait just to brighten your day. It was a test shot for my 2x converter and 300mm lens .

Old Gnome tells the cat about how he got a black eye in the hair raising fight he had with one of the flowerpot men.

Yes I know I'm daft.

Went for a walk with the camera today in an Essex countryside village whilst my lovely lady was singing at a birthday party in the village hall. I did not know what the place was like except that there was a pub so all looked fine. My first impress...
