Not a welcome sight to anyone with a pond but I was pleased to spot this Heron. I just wish I had got my picture in focus - no excuses!

Oh dear... one of those 365 days when all you can find to photograph is the bottom of the frying pan.

My little helper... Whenever the camera comes out he likes to pose, sadly he usually struggles to keep his eyes open. I think he is trying to tell me something.

It snowed here overnight - by UK standards quite a lot. The US branch of the family have told us that it was only a dusting but it was significant for us. When it snows here I always listen to local radio - the only time I do. I heard that the main road that runs from Dover to London was blocked and had been for a number of hours. Given that I didn't have too much to do I decided to set off on foot to find out what was going on. After a fair walk passing miles of queuing traffic I arrived at the cause of the problem. A lorry had partially gone off the road and got stuck. When I arrived on the scene the recovery teams were just winching it out. I took a few pictures and headed for home. I sent my pictures to a number of news agencies and one of them was used. Not big time but it made the walk worthwhile and I had recorded Jeremy Kyle anyway!

Dover's hot night spot ... looks more junky than funky.

My son is doing 365 this year so often we have a situation where neither of us have a picture or any idea what to do. Tonight we decided to pick an everyday object for each other as a subject. I chose a colander for Thomas he gave me a tatty old wine cooler.

We had to pop to Deal today so I took the opportunity to take a few snaps. It was freezing and I didn't have a coat so it was literally a couple of very quick snaps.... and it was far to cold to do a Reggie Perrin!

Little time for a picture today so back to the trusty fruit bowl.

So much to do this week.. first job is to dump the office furniture, the office will soon be the studio!

What a strange couple of days I have had. Yesterday I was ready to finish the photo a day project - today I found out that I have lost my job. A bit depressing given the circumstances and the fact that I had been there for the last 29 years. I would like to name names and express my opinion but best I don't for the time being. I will document my experiences in the near future - it could be a whole new series for David Brent.

Anyway, after losing my nice comfortable well paid job I walked down to the Millennium Bridge to take a few pics before heading home...

Throwing in the towel ....

This was very nearly project fail for me. I completely ran out of time and ideas then noticed the cheese grater so ended up pretty much copying a picture I did last year. The colour comes from light bounced off a red biscuit tin lid and a blue plastic bag.
