Moving on  by judithg

Moving on

Just a quick iPhone shot today while I was grumpily clothes shopping with Adam. I really didn't have time and he's very fussy so shortly after I abandoned him in favour of Waitrose. Anyway - very fresh graduates on their way back to St John's for the graduation party. A day of mixed emotions I think - excited, proud, relieved (hopefully) and also sad to be leaving friends and moving on to pastures new.
Three good things:
1. The end of a crazy run around sort of day and Book Club are coming so time to relax!
2. Some excellent books to discuss.
3. Hello Book Club!
Graduation is always bitter-sweet and you have captured some of that feeling here - a tinge of regret as they wander along realising 'that's it, all over'.

This shows such a rich educational culture... you're so lucky to live there.

A beautiful shot to capture this moment of passage into another episode of life. My commenting will get even worse from now on as I am on baby duty non-stop (husband has to finish his bachelor thesis very soon..). I'll do my best though ;). Read a book for me, too ;).

A very poignant shot. Makes me think of friends I haven't seen in person since graduation.

I would really like to belong to a book club...Cathy said I should start one myself but am nervous about doing anything like that....i think i might join yours through 365!!!

I am halfway through the Snow Child & really enjoying it.
The end of the good life...how will they manage the change in their lives & all friends scattered.
A great mix of lovely buildings, bikes & happy graduates. These lads are fussy & won't be seen dead in that!!

What a lovely scene from home. I'm still reading our book club choice - in between posting photos - Tess Gerritson.

I like the composition -- it could be a scene out of an Inspector Morse show!

Seeing this made me feel quite tearful. Silly sausage I know but it took me back to Gemma's graduation and how she's almost a Mrs now :o) xx

Love the tones here - meant to put the book club comment on yesterday's shot on this one.
June 28th, 2013  
Enjoy book club! I will show this to my brother-in-law, a graduate of St Johns
June 28th, 2013  
Great shot and another chapter for them.

@happypat We are reading This Boy by Alan Johnson, The Hive by Jill Hornby and Where'd you go Bernadette by Maria Semple - you've got till November!!
June 28th, 2013  
@judithg Ooh can I be a 365 book club member? I will check them out ...almost finished my current book!! Trouble is there is no wine on a 365 book club!!!!
June 28th, 2013  
Ps I saw Alan Johnson on TV talking about his life...fascinating & a very hard upbringing.
June 28th, 2013  
@happypat Oh course you can! I'll tell you what wine we're on in advance. Yes - Alan Johnson very tough start in life - looking forward to it but hanging on for paperback at the moment.
June 28th, 2013  
@judithg Goodo!! I will be ready!! Will check on kindle but might start with the cheapest or better still look in the library..haven't been in the place for years what with the library van coming round etc. Funny enough i had a card from Janet the library van lady who retired thanking me for the coffee & custom. I cancelled the new man perhaps i should not have!!!

did you put any filters on your iphone Judith...it has the look and feel of a 70's slide film shot...even the people look a bit 70's too
June 28th, 2013  
You have caught the feel of it all very well.
June 28th, 2013  
wonderfully captured! the processing is perfect
June 29th, 2013  
Well captured - the sort of photo you could keep coming back to and seeing more. A Fav
June 29th, 2013  
@phil_howcroft Yes I edited using Camerabag for Mac - this is one of their own filters - can't remember which one though - the original was rather dull like the day...

Lovely shot, kids all grown up, where did time go!
June 29th, 2013  
@happypat Forgot to say - fancy Janet retiring - just won't be the same!
June 29th, 2013  
@judithg Indeed!
June 29th, 2013  
@judithg thanks for the info' judith...nice filter ....the apple world seems quite sophisticated / advanced for photo and movie editing
June 29th, 2013
