my colour project…

Last year i did a photography project. I set it for myself but i had been inspired by another photographer. It is a fun way of using your camera every day and also looking at the world a bit differently. I have been getting a bit itchy- feet photographically and am thing its project time again. 🙂

So im going to try and set myself another colour project. I generally just go with colours of the rainbow but whatever works. So who knows? Could be purple/aqua and salmon?!! 🙂

This was my efforts from last time i did it. If you fancy joining in, grab your camera and give me a shout if you do….the idea behind it is colour…not perfect, technical shots. You can use an iphone or a little point and shoot.

Fancy it?

Can you see any kids in this weeks #CountryKids?

Getting out and about was easier this week as we said goodbye to the snow and hello to the light rain and chills. 😉 It wasnt that bad actually and yesterday I took my youngest to a fabulous local park that has an amazing sensory play are and japenese garden. I was feeling very ‘outdoorsy” when my daughter remembered that there is a cafe in the park and then spent the next 20 minutes shouting “CHIPS!” at me. Much to the amusement of other adults in the park.

She can be a bit father Ted sometimes…”DRINK!” “FOOD!” “NOW!” and whilst i try hard to be firm sometimes you just have to giggle at her. We ended up in the cafe where she chose an, as they would say here, lolly-ice and i had a cuppa…while the dog wailed pitifully from his tie up post outside. We had to leave suddenly as the tiny little shed of a cafe had a fire alarm go off and she had to turn us all out!! The pensioners walking group were in the cafe at the same time and we mulled over the way that fire alarms seem to produce no urgency in anyone… how we had all slowly drained our cups and wondered out without much of a rush in true ‘reaction to a fire alarm’ fashion. We gave up waiting and headed off towards the car spying the most incredible tree with branches like an octopus. One part of it was very elephant trunk like we thought, well my daughter said…

We tried to feed the ducks but my daughter just sat in her buggy giving the ‘not ducks’ geese filthy looks as they fought over the bread. Overall though the skies were blue and it did my soul good to be outside. Linking up again with Country Kids

the daily shutter….the cone of shame…

yes..it comes to most male dogs..well..not all…but he had ‘that’ operation. Suffice to say im sure he is feeling very miffed about it. He was pretty chipper going into the vets and even the pre-med they give him didn’t kerb his bouncyness…then fast forward to the evening and he has a big old hangover, has a cone on his head and is wondering what he is missing…

average night out for some eh?

To add insult to injury..today at his check up, i grassed on him and said i thought that if he tried really hard he could probably give “it” a good old lick…Which promptly got him upgraded to a bigger cone…

sorry pal 🙁

the daily shutter

Sometimes you find yourself at the start of the path you must walk. Tentative you glance around to check out another route, there isn’t one. There isn’t a different option, this is your journey and standing at this point where you can’t quite glimpse what awaits you, you stop and wonder, hoping and imagining that the next few steps will not bring the nagging fear at the back of your mind into a reality.

For whatever it is that lies there, the stark and cold truth is that there is no way out and you have to, you must take those steps. Those steps are part of your story. The pain a fire, that burns, raging through the dead leaves, the dry grass. Then abating and leaving behind the fresh shoots of hope, a new spring.

So many times, those fears, when you turn are not the snarling, angry, all consuming mess you are expecting..and sometimes..well..well.. sometimes..

they. just. are.
