Holes in Trees — Fan Of… #80
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is Holes in trees.

Whilst on my recent trek around Palacerigg Country Park (Fan Of… #79), I came across this tree with a hole through the trunk at a convenient height for me & snappy.

I, of course, decided that it might be interesting to take some shots of the open moorland through it.

I then noticed that it was probably the right size to sit lensy in (what a surprise) and get a few more shots.

Palacerigg Country Park — Fan Of… #79

Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is Palacerigg Country Park.

This is an area of countryside to the south-west of Cumbernauld, Scotland. It contains areas of open moorland, interspersed with patches of woodland. Within the park boundaries sits Fannyside Lochs (Fan Of… #44), & a visitor centre (will be in a later post). There are quite a few stables around so there were some horses to talk to as well

These shots are from my recent trek around the park, with very varying conditions as you will see, & plenty of opportunities to play with my lensball

Kobo nia — Fan Of… #78
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is my new Kobo nia.

After many years of being Kindle owners, my wife & I have made the decision to move over to Kobo for our e-reading. Our Kindle Fires, which were more of a tablet than just a reading device, were starting to need recharging every couple of days. We looked at the Kindle Paperwhites but decided that they were quite expensive for what they are (2-3 x the cost of the Kobo). There also look to be some very good deals on books with Kobo, & you earn points every time you buy a book, which adds up to money off future purchases; so, Kobo it is.

New Home Studio — Fan Of… #74

Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is my new home studio. This set up turns a humble table into what looks like a a swanky, loft style white wooden floor with exposed painted brickwork behind it. Some of you who follow my blog may have already seen the backdrop in use for one of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenges — Wilting Beuty & Sneezing Lilies.

Taking a Break — Fan Of… #73
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is taking a break. I’ve been running this challenge for nearly a year now and have 73 posts under my belt (need to get a bigger belt). With many of my colleagues at work taking holidays (I hear the livingroom’s lovely this time of year) my work load is on the increase over the next few weeks, with little spare time.

To that end, I’m taking a short break from Fan Of…. A huge thank you to all you awesome folks out there who follow & join in my weekly enjoyment of life. This is not the end, I will be back with more Fan Of… posts in August. I will also see many of you on various other challenges, & Water Water Everywhere will continue to run as normal.
