All these photos were taken around Camden on Sunday afternoon. All are of things seen through windows.Some of the windows belong to student offices. I suspect you can guess which ones.

New Year’s Day in the Life of Not Cat
My plan, mid-morning, was to go for a short walk locally, taking my camera, to see if there was anything that caught my eye and which might suit the Winter challenge.
Not Cat hurried down the stairs with me. In the garden, he rushed about, and kept returning to me. I was looking at some leaves caught in a tree. Not Cat twisted his head round and looked too.
Looking at the Tree
Looking being far too passive an activity for Not Cat, he got into the tree.
In the Tree
The tree seemed to bear further investigation. Though it didn’t look very comfortable.
Further Investigation
He stayed there a while.
Interesting Features
Then he climbed down.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between Take Two
Weekly photo Challenge: Self-Portrait
Like many people, I try to keep photos of myself off the www, so this week’s challenge presents particular obstacles.
However, I am hoping this interpretation fits the bill. It’s a bit like the Loyd Grossman programme Through the Keyhole which was popular a few years ago. It’s a photograph of a collection of bits and pieces I have acquired over the years. They represent interests I have, remind me of friends and places, some pieces were my father’s.
Some of these objects I have had since I was in single figures. There’s a lottery ticket from some weeks ago I have not yet checked; a papier mâché award I was given by some children I taught; a piece of the Berlin Wall; presents from friends; pebbles I picked up in Greece; and much more.
Everything is displayed in an object I picked out of a skip in the West End. I think it was part of a ceiling.

If I could just have one, it would be the little robin.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Family
These photos were, fairly obviously, not taken by me. But they are of my family. I was looking for a different picture, one of my father with his three siblings, but I found these first and enjoyed looking at them.
My grandfather’s (my father’s father) two sisters looked fairly alike as these two pictures show.
Great Aunt Doll (Dorothy)
Great Aunt Evelyn
As the pictures also show, they were quite different characters. Evelyn was the glamourous one who died young in a traffic accident. I don’t know what became of her husband, but her daughter, Cousin Gwyn who developed Alzheimer’s and died a few years ago, having been one of the most lively and entertaining of my many relatives, became an extra sibling for my father, his brother and sisters.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Windows
Living in the city, I seem to have an awful lot of windows in my photos, so here’s a bunch. And naturally, there’s a picture of my cat among them.
