It's a warm start to today so we'll be out
I've been out exploring locally although sadly not on bike as with my disabilities I cannot use one in my shorts and long socks.
I would invite you however to cast out that image of the bike, make it late spring or summer and that boy would be me (indeed only the shorter and not ginger hair is different cos I look much younger than my years) a boy, a rover and Wolf Cub in Spirit out in the country.
I generally present out explore more traditional male as it is less likely to get caught up in prickly hedges and plants than skirts apart from the risk of winds blowing my skirt revealing more than I'm comfortable with.
Readers of my other blog would know in the era this picture was taken, I would of been using my X500 and XD7 (aka XDII) Minolta film cameras to take pictures as I explored guessing he's using a 35mm focal length lens as I find that was right one to have on the body with the 'standard' 50mm with macro converter for close ups of flowers and a 135mm telephoto for details in the bag with spare film.
Today it's either my trusty Canon A470 digital compact for general pictures or the Nikon DSLR for its creative control and higher quality lenses I use while out.
The one thing that hasn't changed is I'm still that child though!
Minor added detail 2019.
