HI Gadget

It was a dull damp dismal day .... a typical November day but not that cold..... I do suspect it was because it was drizzly that the camera caught up in all those images. I was careful to take care of the camera, but it was the fact that some where clear then others were not.
I confess to not being the greatest photographer  ::) but I have not had photos like that appear since with the same camera doing grave hopping on a damp old day! Just one of those things I think.... oh yes it is a digital camera.

What a great spooky story.   :o I wonder who she was? What did she look like?

Hi Cal

To me she just looked quite ordinary, in her 60's I'd say and her coat was just a green anorak type.  That might have been a disguise though, eh!!! I'll not forget her and neither will the bloke that was helping her and I.

I loved those photos Cal.  I will tell you this tale but it has no slight on yours honest.  I had to laugh though, my husband's turn out like that all the time.  He always seems to be smoking when he takes a picture and we get the mist!!  Spoils most of them.

Definitely  no mist, no smoke and no weird trails of light to be seen when Cal and I took those pics!  ;D
Cal, have you noticed in the one of me bending down and showing the world my fat bum, there is a streak of red across the top left corner?  I thought it was a branch of the bramble bush that you can see on the left, but it looks different from that...

Wooooooooo..... ;D

Oh, and definitely no sunbeams gadget, it was a heavily overcast, damp day.
