333/365:2010 Mini Darth Vader

333/365:2010 Mini Darth Vader

The idea for this photo came from this one, but I was thinking of how to use the Darth Vader mask for a while. Perhaps appropriate given that the news of the death of the director of The Empire Strikes Back was announced today.

329/365:2010 King Kong

Pippa's chewy toy, the Kong, gives her plenty of fun. You can even hide food inside it for her to try and get out.

328/365:2010 Devouring the Classics!

328/365:2010 Devouring the Classics!

Pippa has developed a hunger for great literature - or at least wanting to chew on the corner of my copy of CS Lewis' The Great Divorce. Dog-eared in a different sense... Low level bookshelves maybe aren't such a good idea when she's around.

327/365:2010 In The Spotlight

327/365:2010 In The Spotlight

The last time out for Pippa before bedtime. Cold and dark, hence the torch!

Two books I'm reading at the minute both have the word Courage in the title.

325/365:2010 Collared

325/365:2010 Collared

My full (Roman) collar, which I rarely wear. I much prefer the wee slip-in collar rather than this one, which once it's on, it's on for the day!

324/365:2010 Portadown Found (ry)

Spotted this on the corner of a building at a lane in Portadown. The ironwork came from the Portadown Foundry. Suitably worn over time.

This spider's web has appeared on our black bin, and it was catching the sunlight when I went out to it earlier.

321/365:2010 Fellowship Group

Tonight at Fellowship Group I was tasked to take some photos for inclusion in our Christmas parish magazine, and here's what the finished article looked like. We have five groups of varying sizes meeting through the week in homes and halls studying the Bible in a small group and encouraging one another to live for Christ and his glory.

318/365:2010 We Will Remember

318/365:2010 We Will Remember

Remembrance Sunday, and the poppy was used as my illustration for the Childrens' Talk at Church this morning - black centre reminds us of our sin; red poppy reminds us of the blood that Jesus shed on the cross for our forgiveness; green leaf reminds us of the new life that is ours through Jesus' death for our sins.

317/365:2010 Wife's Birthday

317/365:2010 Wife's Birthday

Lynsey's birthday, but I forgot to bring my camera when we went out for afternoon tea, so this was the shot for today, one of her cards!

316/365:2010 Half Moon

316/365:2010 Half Moon

Probably not a brilliant photo, but I was just seeing how these things turn out.

315/365:2010 To Read

315/365:2010 To Read

Above my desk, this is my 'To Read' shelf. When I finish one book, I begin on another from the shelf. A mix of theology, history, politics, fiction and general.

314/365:2010 Mini Daggers

A box of cocktail sticks is tonight's subject, but they were harder to photograph than I imagined!

311/365:2010 Stormy Night

Looking out at the stormy night, the only near light is from the neighbour's garage, revealing the water rolling down our bedroom window. A bleak night.

307/365:2010 Key to Understanding

307/365:2010 Key to Understanding

It is of course, the key to bleeding radiators, but I spotted it on my desk and thought it would be appropriate for today's photo. I considered making it a face by giving it a mouth, but then saw the almost mirror image the shadow was casting on the white paper. And I've written far too much about this for one night, so off to bed!
