ECHOS OF THE PAST

214.365

Quick trip to the Undergound Hoispital on the way back to work.  Always good to get in here at least once a year.  At first all the tunnels look the same but each chamber has developed its own characteristics over the time.  The echos make it feel very eerie.

DIAGO

Safely re-homed our garden frog to a nearby nature reserve.  He disappeared for a few minutes then resurfaced to say goodbye.  I named him Diago :)

SH!T

207.365

The word I used more than normal today.  Wet, dull and just sh!t.  Think I'll put this one in the unrated corner of the library.

HAWKER

206.365

After an armful of nettles, shoes full of soil and a long trek up the cliffs, this dragonfly finally settled for a few minutes.  Even managed to move some distractions behind without scaring him off.
