Girl in a Sports Car (10 pics from '25)

It's been one helluva year, I don't mind telling you. I'm not generally one for hyperbole so I'll just say 2025 has been tough. If you want chapter and verse then take a peek at some of my back issues - you'll get the gist. But, and this is a big but, it hasn't all been bad. Friends and family (you know who you are) have got me through this. Music has got me through this. Books have got me through this. And my camera has got me through this. During my recuperation I was still able, despite feeling quite weak, to get out most days and get some (much needed) air in my lungs and, whilst out and about, point my camera at whatever and whoever I bumped into.

So what I've done is select 10 photographs I took at some point during the last calendar year. They're not in date order or indeed ordered in any way. Just 10 shots straight off the bat. Also, I've tried to choose images that I haven't previously posted on my blog. Oh, and there may be a piece of music to go with them as well. I say may - I'm not 100% sure yet as to what the other nine pics will be (or even that I'll post them all this side of the New Year). 


Anyway, let's start with the lovely Lisa. Lisa & Mike own a rather nice bar in my part of the world. Lisa heard I was poorly and said there'd be a drink with my name on it when I was well enough to venture out. And, sure enough, there was. Thank you, Lisa
