Mondays With Cecil

Mondays bring a familiar routine, but finding something inspiring around me is the real challenge today, which might resonate with fellow enthusiasts.

I’ve decided to use my 24mm-105mm lens again. This is the one I take on holidays with me- a very good all-rounder, especially when I do street photography.  Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, I’ll have to be a little more inconspicuous and not in “tourist” mode, as everyone knows me and they’ll think it rather odd. I've looked at the mountains from every angle at all times of the day, and this mountain shows itself at 15h00 each day, that's when the sun touches it. Today, there wasn't even a cloud in the sky, which made it rather bland.  I'll try again on a better day; this will have to suffice, though.

Cecil is always a willing subject when I need a model; he has charm, a little wit, and always a twinkle in his eye.  Autumn leaves have started dropping from the trees, making a welcome change when everything has been green for so long.   The shopping carts made fine lines and colourful patterns.

It’s a short and sweet day.  I’ve met my target of four photographs, and that will have to do.
