More Sea Odyssey Liverpool, a set on Flickr.
Went out early on Sunday morning to see the Little Girl Giant, her Dog and her Uncle awake, and head for the Liver Buildings. Batteries gave out on camera so took a minute or so of Cameraphone video of the Uncle walking.

Mike Fryer. Memorial Tree. Springtime., a set on Flickr.
Springtime! Drove down to Keele last Sunday to take a few photos of the tree that we planted last year in memory of Mike.
I parked at the clock house, and strolled down the lane to the tree.
I knew it might be tricky to get the timing exactly right on this one - looks like a number of the daffodils that the children planted around the base of the tree have grown.
They probably flowered a few weeks earlier in late February / early March, but not to worry as there's hundreds of other daffodils growing in the lane by late March.
Mike arranged the weather for me - it was a glorious sunny day to take a few photographs in this peaceful spot.
My finger slipped on the trigger at one point, and when I looked there was a great shot of daffodils - so I put that one down to Mike :)
Lots of signs of life on and around the tree, buds are growing, cobwebs shining in the sun and evidence of birds on the tree and plaque (which I decided not to clean as the birds seem to like to perch there).
A few couples passed by, out for a Sunday stroll, and a number of people walking their dogs.
Chatted with a lady who asked me about the photos I was taking, so I told her about Mike and the tree.
She said that was a nice thing to do, and was thinking about planting a tree nearby for a friend of hers.
A couple of last photos of the lane and clock house clock, passing students enjoying the sunshine.
A few hours well spent. I'll share the photos with Mike's family and friends.
