Well, it's been a fairly quiet month for my camera and, hence, for this site. Unfortunately, it looks like the trend may continue for a month or two as it turns out the pain I've been experiencing in my leg since our trip to Egypt is stemming from a broken hip!

I'm in for surgery on Monday, November 2nd, and will emerge Bionic Girl! ...ok, maybe I'll just have a screw in my hip ;)

It sounds like after the operation I'll be on the crutches for another few weeks so probably not many new photos until the new year.

Like I said, though, I do hope to get through processing some more images from earlier in 2009.

The image to the left, 'Off Roading', was taken last weekend when Nick and I went out for a drive to check out the Autumn colours. Nick wanted to stop for a shot over the Downs so I thought I'd get out and explore just a little too. It was a bit tricky (and funny) getting around on uneven terrain with the crutches, thought I'd take a photo to capture the experience.

I really shouldn't be allowed to choose my featured photo when there's a cat image in the bunch; though there might be 'better' photos in a set, a cat one will win every time.

This little guy was relaxing on these pashminas in the Khan el-Khalili market in Cairo and I stopped for long enough that the vendor asked if I wanted to buy a kitten instead of a shawl. Tempting. Just wasn't sure I could get one through airport security on the way home. 

At another shop I was also asked if I wanted to buy a cat; when I said I couldn't because I couldn't take one back to the UK with me, in the spirit of true Egyptian bargaining, the shop keeper told me he could get me one in another colour. As difficult as it was, I had to insist I really couldn't buy one no matter the colour.

Very happy news to share along with this image...

Yesterday, while having a picnic at Waverley Abbey, one of my favourite places on Earth, my Nick asked me to marry him. I very happily have said I will. 

We don't have a date set yet, as we're unsure where we'll get married because my family is in Canada and his is here in the UK, but sometime in 2010, I will become Miko Margaret Mayer.

I am so incredibly lucky.

We went on a trip to the Norfolk Broads with some friends this past weekend, hired a boat and had a great time. This shot was taken at the St Benet's Abbey where we stopped for a quick explore on Saturday afternoon. 

I hung back from some of the group, while they walked towards the cross, with a shot like this in mind - staggered people, contrasty black and white - but this turned out better than expected. I'm not entirely sure why the figure on the right is blurred (someone's already commented that it looks like he's dissolving) as I was using a very fast shutter speed, but I love the effect and accentuated it (and also tried to give the others a bit of a halo glow) by pushing the yellow channel when converting to monochrome.

Rather than flood my Premieres gallery with a lot of shots from this past weekend, I've put the majority of them straight into their own gallery. You can find them under 
 Events>Social>Norfolk Broads.

I've realised recently that I'm not sharing the titles of my photos on this site and because that seems a shame, as most do have titles that have been (and are being) shared elsewhere, I've decided to start adding them here. This image is titled, 'Secular Pilgrimage'.
