I walked the canal the other way to night. This week I was on my own (well, I still had the dog, keen as ever to confuse the boundary between solid path and sink intoable water) but I didn't feel alone as I was pondering thoughts and pictures for my blog - that act of sharing means I feel much less lonely, so thankyou for being my receptive audience :) can you spot some lovely nettles,  a motorway bridge,  and the moon?

Photos not as good as the previous week, but I enjoyed the lovely light nonetheless. I do like light. I was thinking about what my favourite colour is as that's the kind of question people sometimes ask, and I'm often a bit hesitant. In many ways I'd like to say orange, but it's not a citrussy orange, and so I'm not sure how best to term it. As ever, the web has lots to offer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_orange
and http://colors.findthedata.com/d/s/Orange
but I think the issue is that I don't actually like "flat" colours (this might not be the technical term). The whole thing for me about colours is their interplay with the light, the way they vary, their shading and juxtaposition with other colours. Their texture. So whilst I might quite like persimmon, I don't actually want to pin my flag to the mast at all. Unless it's a rainbow one ;
