March. That’s spring, right? Isn’t it? Not here, not this year, not a bit of it.

Life, one day at a time
‘Scaffolding’
Sunday 1st March 2015, 6.15pm (day 1,284)
Standing outside the pub taking this and friend Sandra said, ‘so, are you going to call that one ‘Scaffolding’ then?’.
OK, why not.
War memorial, St. Mark’s church
Saturday 28th February 2015, 11.15am (day 1,283)
There’s no deeper message, I just liked the image, helped by the random red flower in the background (poppy by proxy?). The memorial is the one in the grounds of St Mark’s Church, Kennington Oval, in London.
Platform 9, Leeds station
Friday 27th February 2015, 8.45am (day 1,282)
Pictured as I made my way down to London for an afternoon’s work today. The last time — for now — that this journey can be done on a publicly-owned train, a service which was so good that it raised millions and millions for the treasury, which is why the morons that run this country have sold it off as of this weekend.
Calder Holmes Park
Thursday 26th February 2015, 5.15pm (day 1,281)
Spent the working day in Manchester, where the weather was lousy, but by the time I came home it had brightened up enough to make this scene worth capturing on the way back from the railway station.
Canada geese
Wednesday 25th February 2015, 3.40pm (day 1,280)
Pictured by the canal this afternoon. The one on the right is flexing his/her muscles, or giving its wings a stretch. I don’t know if these are males or females — unlike with mallards it seems rather difficult to tell.
Tram at St Peter’s Square
Tuesday 24th February 2015, 9.00am (day 1,279)
No commentary today… I just like the composition, the colours, lines and shapes, and that I got it nice and sharp.
Outside the National Football Museum
Monday 23rd February 2015, 1.30pm (day 1,278)
The day of the museum field trip, heralded by my recce a few days ago. Rather than repeating a shot from inside here’s a relatively abstract view of the exterior, reflecting the clouds of a stormy day.
Running rhinoceros
Sunday 22nd February 2015, 10.35am (day 1,277)
As seen in the Brighton half marathon this morning, one of 12,000 runners (a number which included our Clare) but the best-dressed, in their way. I know this image is a bit technically dubious, but hey, sometimes you get only one chance to capture the sight. Now I just need to think of a way to work “Loading” into the deeper meaning somehow.
Goal celebrations, Amex stadium
Saturday 21st February 2015, 4.10pm (day 1,276)
My fourth-ever trip to the Amex stadium, home of my beloved Brighton & Hove Albion since 2011, and this is the third time it has appeared on the blog. This was also the first time Joe has been able to visit. He’s declaring for the Albion, which is a brave move for a Yorkshire-born 11-year-old, so it was good to see an exciting game, and a win — 4-3 for Brighton over Birmingham City. This picture was taken just after Inigo Calderon put the Albion 2-1 up.
