A Prime Waste Of Time ...

Well *that* was an hour and three quarters that I'll never get back. I just watched "Prime" which stars Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg as Rafi and Dave. Rafi is a non-religious newly divorced 37 year old, and Dave is 23, Jewish, and ... Rafi's therapist's son. It was well written, touching, funny - all good, right? Nuh - uh. No spoilers, but the ending is both a total cop-out, and to me, invalidated the whole premise of the film. I hate when that happens. Now I'm sad *and* pissed off!

Spring Is Sprung ..

Anyone who knows me knows that I *hate* the heat, and for me, it's "hot" at about 65F, "unbearable" at anything over 75F, and at 80F I'll be found indoors with the fans on, wrapped in cold, wet towels (no joke). I may hate the summer, but I *love* spring, and recently I've been seeing more and more signs that we're deep in the midst of spring. Some pics to prove it :



I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - my first attempt at a close-up shot of anything in nature, and the depth of field turned out great. More by luck than judgement, I think. Love the blue sky behind too.




This one came out pretty well too. I love swans, and this one was very friendly, happy to eat bread from my hand.




Aww, new born lambs - how cute are they? Taken at Thorpe Farm, on my trip to Thorpe Park last week.




Bluebells - one of my favourite flowers, and so springlike! I always know spring has arrived when I see clumps of bluebells.





The streams in the water meadows along the river, and on the nature reserve are teeming with marsh frogs, and their noisy calls can be heard from some distance around.
