A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Nice Ice
Over the weekend I was nominated twice to do the now infamous Ice Bucket Challenge.
Being a believer of not wasting water, I had no wish to throw away a perfectly good bucket of H2O, so I thought about how I could be involved, but by not getting wet.
I had seen some variations on the theme, but they all seem to involve wasting water in one way or another. So I went with this concept, of an ice bucket chilling a small bottle of water. Like it was like champagne,;which in some African countries it is.
I also wondered about which charity to give my donation to. After some consideration, I decided to go with the local animal rescue that I wrote about a few weeks ago, especially as they put out a message asking for some pouches of wet cat food. They are only a little charity, so every penny counts. Unlike some of the more well known charities, that pay large salaries to the bosses and can afford TV ad campaigns.
So after work, I called in to one of our local supermarkets and bought some boxes of cat food, which I then took up to the rescue, so the dear little cats that are looking for a loving forever home will have a nice meal or two tomorrow.

101% Cuteness
This little kitten is one of 15 that I saw on Monday night at a local animal rescue, as I was interviewing one of the carers for an article that I have written for a local magazine.
Of course I had to take some photos of the little ones for the article. And who could resist not taking a shot of this cute little fellow who was resting on top of some shelves, out of the way of all the others.
I understand that he will shortly be leaving for a loving forever home, and I hope that he has a long and happy life.
