This tree is usually the last to shed its foliage each year and 2025 was no different.

Today, as we say here in Wigan, "Ahs reet jiggered!" I had an excellent time in Scouseland with wonderful friends, but I am paying for it today. In other news, here's today's photo.

Went to Liverpool for the Merry Mersey Meetup Photowalk with @stigofthedump.bsky.social and friends. There's a few muriels in the city centre to photograph.

When going for a photowalk on a dark, wet, cold dull and gloomy day, 800iso film seems like a great idea. We shall see. 😎

Any of the plastic auto focus SLR cameras will give you great results for little cash. I paid £10 for my Minolta Dynax 4 with an AF 28-80mm lens and it's great. I bought an AF 50mm f/1.7 for £30 recently and it's Beltin' 😎

Last blooms of 2025. By the time I post this, the blooms will have faded and the gardeners will have cleared the flower beds ready for next year.
