Aug 5, 2015 - One of those days that I just didn't pick up the camera and a shot of a home baked BBQ chicken pizza was about all that I could muster with the camera.
But it was delicious!
December 2, 2015 - When in Portland....the second thing on the to-do list was a visit to Voodoo Doughnut for a namesake sweet :)
It was Maddie's last day of Easter holidays so we had some of her friends with us for the day and went for a walk along the river and made peanut butter cookies. And I also did four hours of office work! Not a bad day!
June 27, 2015 - A broom has one normal purpose to most people...sweeping away dust and dirt.
To me this has one very different purpose....it gets rid of spiders and spider webs on my upper deck.
Period!
We had another busy day which ended by celebrating this gorgeous girl's 11th birthday with a swim party.
The Betws-y-coed Motor Museum in Betws-y-Coed, a town and tourist attraction in Conwy County, North Wales.
Nestled in Snowdonia National Park close to the mountains, the village was founded around a monastery in the late sixth century, growing with the development of the local lead mining industry
The name is thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Old English, meaning 'prayer house in the wood'. Prayer house (Betws) in the woods (Coed) The name Betws or Bettws is generally thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Old English "bed-hus", which means a bead-house: a house of prayer, or oratory.
In 1815 the Waterloo Bridge was built by Thomas Telford for the London to Holyhead road - now the A5 - which was the dawn of a new era for the village, bringing a whole wealth of developments.
The village became a major coaching centre on the route from London to Holyhead, which led to the improvement of the roads in the surrounding area and has since acted as a primary destination for the purpose of road signs.
When Betws-y-Coed railway station was constructed in 1868, it brought in the arrival of the railway line from Llandudno Junction railway station and increased the population of the town at the time by around 500 people.
The town has many 19th century buildings including the Church of St Mary which was built on the site of a former cockpit and fairground, and although it has an early English look but was completed in 1873. The square bell tower was added in 1907 the commemorative stone being laid by the Earl of Ancaster in 1976.

September 18, 2015 - Another day on the river, and more bears watching us and scooping fish in our wake.
"A historic 19th Century chapel has been sold for £45,000.
( ... )
Located a short distance from the town centre on New Street, it was established in 1842 and built as we see it today in 1867.
It played a part in Welsh history in 1856, when the founding of a Welsh colony in Patagonia was discussed for the first time by the Literary Society of Caernarfon .
One leading member of the society was local printer Lewis Jones who went on to rally support for the colony and wrote a report on the Chubut area, where the first settlers arrived from Wales in 1865.
The chapel's most impressive feature is its grand classical entrance, designed by architect Richard Owen of Liverpool."

Our Daily Challenge ~ Feminine
For some reason I had a mental block on this topic for awhile.
Better on BLACK
October 4, 2015 - Pulled out most of the remaining tomato plants today in an attempt to clean the yard up a bit, and found a few stragglers in the plants.
July 19, 2015 - Nature sometimes provides the best light.
I didn't even set this up.
I looked up from what I was reading as I was sipping my morning coffee and the only sunshine that was making its way into the windows landed right on top of the banana bread I baked late last night.
Seemed like it was begging for a photo.
July 31, 2015 - A lifetime ago, when I was a kid, lunchbox sized apple juice didn't come in a little rectangular box and pull tabs weren't yet in use. You had to get into your lunch juice with a can opener.
We met our friend Sean, who was visiting London with his family, and went to the V&A, where there were some cool projects running as part of the Design Festival.
Located on range road #73 north of township road #500 near Rocky Rapids, Alberta. Three exposures taken with the Pentax K20D and processed in Photomatix / Topaz Adjust.

No time whatsoever so here's some random blossom to look at whilst I run round like a headless chicken!
Got caught later than I wanted to at work and my landlord phoned to say the plumber will need to take up a floorboard to get to the mains. That floorboard is under where I recently put up a new bookcase. So I've had to move everything out of the hallway and pile the books up elsewhere. *sigh*
August 10, 2015 - I hate spiders! And this year, for whatever reason, they seem to be everywhere far earlier than normal. This does not please me....
July 15, 2015 - While watching the news tonight there was yet another story on the dwindling water reserves, low river levels, high river water temperatures, and unusually high heat in many parts of the province. We have been restricted to watering lawns once per week, and a full lawn watering ban is probably coming soon.
Happy Wall Wednesday!
There is a wall behind that greenery, honest.
I'd forgotten it was Wednesday, and my brain isn't in a state to come up with ideas at the moment, so more wall from the Wall wall archives!
October 8, 2015 - End of a long and emotional day, last minute catch to meet my project.
Any guesses as to what it is?
Had a nice early dinner with Richard and Maddie before my flight to New York. Delicious Ginger Chicken Udon.
and demonstrating 'Bubble guns' at Meirionnydd County show. His mind is possibly not totally on the job in hand...

I thought infinity might be a bit much for these stags. It's amazing what you find wandering the streets of London.
