New photo is called - Never Too Late ………………….
I took this photograph a few weeks ago of some local graffiti , and ever since its just been sat on my computer almost forgotten about .
Well that was until I saw an awful program about teenage suicide at the weekend , so I decided in my “wisdom” to modify the original subject matter from one topic to another , as I thought the figure holding his hand out was highly significant in my particular context :)
It may be a little too modern art (y) for mainstream tastes , but the real purpose is to catch the eye , and maybe give people second thoughts , sort of ……………………ArtInfo …………..i reckon :)

Watch out Nat’ Geo’ :)
I was sitting in the Amazon Jungle ……….no……….no …………sorry ……. my back garden at the weekend :) - idly watching the usual Starling feeding frenzy on the bird table in the corner of the garden , when I saw what I thought was a pigeon fly up and knock one of the starlings over , so I immediately think ………. .that’s odd :)
I t was only then , that I noticed the sharp talons , beak and feathering around the wings of the interloper and realised it was a hawk , the Starling was on the ground - moving but dazed and the hawk ready to pounce , well - until a Converse flew past its head - it missed , but the hawk got the message and swooped off , leaving a very lucky Starling - to do the same .
I looked up and saw a very bemused looking feline watching the proceedings – it was Monty, the cat from across the road .
Monty has been here for ever and ever , and according to my cat / human age conversion factor is 88 yrs old , so is what I would call a grizzled old streetfighter, and has definitely in the past kept me sane after the death of my own cats a while ago , and I suppose he made me realise cats are still for me , hence after a years absence I got two more of my own :)
Monty used to be a regular , but I havn.t seen him for months , so considering his age I thought for the worst …………….thus it was excellent to see him again , and indulge in some nice kitty cat entertainment , to welcome him back , as I then had to additionally - stalk all the way across the muddy lawn to get my boot back from over the fence and out of the croc’s mouth :) .
