A Beautiful Day To Pick Litter...
It's March? That could only mean another session of my favourite activity, picking litter at Prince's Park! Hurrah, it means I get another chance to spend my precious time trudging through mud, navigating through parklands that seem to have been bombed by litter when I could be sleeping in and recuperating. And did I mention I get to spend time with this charming fellow? Oh joy.
The things I will do to bolster my CV...
I've already told you enough anecdotes involving Torquer and I so I shan't bother this time. The truth is nothing embarrassing or amusing happened on our third litter-picking session.
The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the dogs were yapping... Instead of just picking litter, I decided to piss around taking photos while Torquer and Rob struggled with their big binbags (100% un-photoshopped!) :
So there's a selection of photos I took whilst litter-picking. There were lots more but unfortunately Torquer featured in them, the disgusting git.

The 'Thin Ice' photo is great! But sorry you had to pick litter in order to get the cool pics. But you made a positive impact on the earth and thats always a good thing.
I'm guessing you cleaned up before you took the pictures.
Actually it looks pretty nice.
is it safe to skate when the lake freezes over? i always wanted to skate on thin ice. haha.
on a random note: dylan moran is coming to melbourne@comedyfest! thanks for introducing me to him!
It is a beautiful park. Is it actually Princess Park (not Prince's Park) though?
I may join you in the frog stuff. They seem to be getting more fun than I these days. (Hope my hubby is not reading this!)ja, ja, ja.
em: I had to wait 20 minutes for the sun to come up to take that pic!
hammer: yes, I'm so proud!
gneake: I wouldn't advise it ;)
If you like dylan moran, you should watch Black Books. I also recomment Bill Bailey.
anon: it's Prince's Park.
usual stuff: They get more fun than I do! Unless photographing them is providing me with enjoyment...
The thin ice one is funny;-)
Looks like it was a nice day in the park, even if you had to (take pictures) pick up litter!
Well, they might improve your chances if you show the pics. to some beautiful biology student. lol.
i really liked the last photo...that was until i read the description...
idbug: It was a nice day... We climbed trees and everything!
usual stuff: and she will somehow appreciate this romantic gesture?!?
sciurine: there's a disgusting side to nature...
Great pictures, even the non-pornographic ones. I agree, that is some very thin ice on that rippling pond.
We used to live in TN, and had a brook on our property. Early Spring was frog courting season, and there were hundreds of them all pushing their wares. It was like a beautiful chorus, and we even got to recognize different voices. I only regret that we never recorded them before we moved.
Mating frogs...tortoises....flies....horses, dogs....they all just do it when they feel like it....imagine if WE did????? ;)
Nice photos of the park, which does look nice.
I remember going to Wimbledon Common (after watching the Wombles when I was young) and couldn't believe how DISGUSTING it was...dog poo EVERYWHERE, rubbish, bottles, junk - ewwww!! Hope they've cleaned that up a bit!!??
I was enjoying that last picture until I realized that one frog appears to be on top of another. I don't even want to know what they're doing.
Ha, those pictures are nice! Especially the 'Thin Ice' one. I always laugh at the signs that say 'Watch for Ice on Bridge' in the summer. The rest of the pics are awesome, too.
Well you say that nothing embarrassing or amusing happened on your third litter-picking session, but I don't believe you. I think that something very funny and embarrassing happened, but that you just didn't see it. Litter-picking sessions are great, ain't they Jingo!

hey Jing.
photos are wonderful my friend.
the swan is a beauty....
have a good one.
Wicked pics Jingo - so longing to London and Hyde Park *sigh*
PS. I found the "thin ice" pic funny too... but then again I'm strange.
heartinsanfrancisco: It's a shame since when I got there the frenzy was almost over. Ah well, maybe next year... ;)
kb: Now that would be interesting!
Ah the wombles, whatever happened to them?
thethinker: maybe they're just relaxing? ;)
greta: I had to wait 20 minutes for the sun to come out for that pic! I see it was worth it.
debunkem: well... we did climb trees when I bunch of scallys challenged us... But that really wasn't that interesting...
baie: the swan is beautiful because it's surrounded in rubbish!
crash: I remember going to Hyde park... and being overwhelmed by the ducks and swans that flew at me!
No, actually you have to play your cards demonstrating how interested in biology you are and then she might get some ideas from the photo and invite you to study compared anatomy. I mean, how frequently do you get to see any animal... err... having some fun? Therefore, one may conclude your timing is perfect, don't you think?
Interesting... I'll give it a go, but I doubt it'll woo anyone... ;)
About the frog orgy,was their any real ugly one's that couldent get a chick?
it was so frenzied they all got some action ;)
