The Green Wall.

So, no picture yesterday, as I was largely confined to my flat waiting for an inspection.

Today, I present the Green Wall in the new David Attenborough Building, a carefully controlled array of planters resulting in thirty feet of greenery in the middle of a shiny new build. It's quite impressive, and apparently Sir David himself has offered to abseil down it to officially open the building, the home of the Cambridge Conservation Initiative and its partners. Unfortunately, it wasn't really possible to get a shot of the whole thing; not with my camera anyway.

View from the landing.

Chimney Tree

Yes, it's the view from my window again, but I rather liked the way the smoke seems to be coming out of the tree.

Mackerel Skies

I was reading my Kindle on the train, looked up at the frosty landscape and the golden sunrise and thought: 'That's a gorgeous view.' Then I realised that was the point of this whole thing; to notice stuff like that. I got up, went to the door - no way I could get to the windows on the east-facing side of the train - and took a couple of pictures through the door as we pulled out of Waterbeach. This was the best of those.

Morning

I got into work very early yesterday, so I snapped a picture of the view from the window in the half-light. I shall try to limit the number of times I use this view, but I rather liked the one lit window in the foreground.

Moon Over Littleport

Thanks go to Andrew for spotting this one while we were walking with Arya. She's taken to asking where the Moon is when she can't see it, and in this case it was by the church tower at about one in the afternoon.

Daddy's Little Princess.

Weekends are obviously going to be a weakness of this project, since most of the time I'm watching to make sure Arya doesn't fall off things. Therefore, here is a picture of Arya dressed as Rey from The Force Awakens.

By any other name

And this is the shot that cemented the project - a single white rose blooming outside the University Accommodation Office in early January and in the coldest weather we'd had for months. It's just a shame there wasn't snow.

Again, the limitations of my camera come into play; I'd kind of like to have got a close up, but it was too far off and digital zoom is a lie.
