TAKE INTERMITTENT NINE

Early October and the huge holly tree in our backyard burst out all over in bright red berries. The beech trees behind it, yet to be touched by bronze...

TAKE INTERMITTENT EIGHT


The year is disappearing. Fast.

TAKE INTERMITTENT; SEVEN

Sigh... hopeless, right? Only a week late to post an intermittent. 

I wish I could tell you this was from the Supermoon event... but no. It's from last year - but it was September. So only a year late on this count...

TAKE INTERMITTENT; FIVE & SIX

Sigh... I blame the lack of July's post on me travelling... and this month's - sigh...  thought about it three days leading up to the first. Then suddenly, it's the eighth... oh well. Here are two to make up.


RIP Tigger

TAKE INTERMITTENT FOUR

I am already starting to build up new archives working toward the relaunch of the Take Years full blog next January. Indeed, I may become overloaded... especially now that, as of Tuesday, I am again 'with wheels'!!! 

The summer header is as stated on it. Today's first-of-the-month offering is from the same place. You may think it helps draw water for the 'village' (which it would), but is a clever disguise of the need to keep recycling the pond water to power the mill! (I think most of you visiting here are also now following DoWY bloggy as well, but in case not, click here to see all the fun of my house-sitting Havant holiday - and ensuing adventures!)

TAKE INTERMITTENT THREE

Oops, Mayday slipped by! May Eighth will have to do... some trees are showing off now...

TAKE INTERMITTENT - TWO

First of April, and, no joke, this was taken with the very new to me Pixel 7 telephone. Zoomed right in from the other side of my rather large room. It gives it a slightly 'silk flower' feel. My first ever pocket tablet, and am on that steep 'getting to know it' curve!

TAKE INTERMITTENT - ONE

Well, the 15th of Feb came and went as did the 11th blogiversary. I am just not making any quantity of new images, currently, so have taken the decision to extend the hiatus of daily posting; what I will do, however, is place an image on the first of each month in order to keep the blog alive (another blog I had let go for more than 12 months restricted access to read-only, which is why there is a 'chapter two' of Aatmaavrajanam). I have it in mind that I will restart with the next letter ('K') on the first of January 2024, thus altering, slightly, the anniversary date. Between now and then I certainly hope to have built up my photographic records once more! Meanwhile, here's the pic for March... I've been learning amigurumi crochet and this is my first wee critter, Ringo the Righteous Rhino!

TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE j ... TO... THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE j


Dear viewers, you have read the title correctly. For a few weeks now I have undergone some angst about how to properly continue this blog without getting any amount of decent, fresh lens fodder. A significant trawling of the archives has served me throughout 2022, but it would be unfair to go around them again so soon. Any new items that have appeared here in the past twelve months have been duplicates or minor variations of what has appeared on DoWY blog... thus for the majority of you viewing here, it would all have looked very familiar. Only a handful of followers here visit only this blog. Most of you visit DoWY as well.

As Doses of Wild YAM is my senior blog, I intend to focus on that and leave this one fallow at least until the end of this 11th year of running. On February 15th you will discover whether I make a more long-term decision here...

Meanwhile, I invite the few of you who have not visited DoWY to come follow me there. You will still get photographs, but also puzzles, deep and meaningfuls, nonsensicals, musicals, inspirationals... something for everyone, in other words! WYSIWYG with the YAMster, so if you think you can deal with my kind of kerazy, you would be more than welcome! Don't give up on me just coz I needs me a break... 

COMMENTS ARE OFF. Thanks for visiting here and hope to see you over there!
