Harry's foot. Harry and his sister Millie were both rescue cats.
Not all animals are so lucky; abandoned by fickle and uncaring humans because of illness, injury or simply because they've lost their infant cuteness, there are hundreds of cats and dogs and other creatures desperate for our help.
The RSPCA do amazing things - they save animals every day from a meaningless life, from a painful life.
One of their key campaigns is the Five Freedoms.
Freedom from hunger and thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
Freedom from discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Freedom from pain, injury or disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Freedom to express normal behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
Freedom from fear and distress - by ensuring conditions and care which avoid mental suffering.
So, for the pets who were given as Christmas gifts and are not wanted a month on; for the garden birds who've suffered in the cold weather; for the battery hens and mutilated seals; for intensively farmed puppies and kittens beaten and left for dead; for the 150-200 animals still used in circuses; for all of these we raise awareness of the vital work carried out by the RSPCA.

First experiment with the Lightroom CC HDR Merge tool which combines 2 similar photos into an HDR image.
I met Gingeraffinity this morning for a quick coffee, before we nipped off to the beauticians to have our nails done. I'm really pleased with mine, I do enjoy getting them done. And it was nice to sit quietly without being climbed on by children for 45 minutes.
We are to the in-laws' tonight for tea to celebrate MIL's 60th (although unbeknown to her, she is having a surprise do tomorrow aswell).

The contents of my bag for going to college. I know it's stupid but I really do have to carry four books around with me and I normally have another lever-arch file and a folder that I couldn't fit on the photo.

Thank You for viewing and watch out for some great images from Martin!!!
An icicle hung on a red brick wall,
And it said to the sun, " I don't like you at all! "
~drip, drip, drip,
But the sun said, " Dear, you've a saucy tongue,
And you should remember, I'm old and you're young."
~drip, drip , drip.
But the icicle only cried the more,
Though the good sun smiled on it just as before,
Until at the end of the winter day,
It had cried its poor little self away!

waahhhh I miss my puppy already

my baby girl was tired and fell asleep under a chair, hahaha
This was tonight's sunset. I didn't think it would amount to much, but I was wrong. Happily, I didn't go out as I intended, but stayed in. Once I saw this, I knew I was in the right place at the right time.
Had to make another with some faves - gnome, mouse on bike, octopus, scissors, strawberry
