I attempted to upload photos yesterday but something was stopping me as Flickr was being a little naughty!! So, yesterday's idea taken today!!

The trouble with bees is, they move all the time. I've spent some time today trying to follow them with my lens, among the lavender in my garden.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be constrained for your own protection, well this isn't what it is like.

I was hoping to get Mrs Mail to pose like this, but she was unable to enter the circle due to her bad knee, so I had to do the deed.

I had meant too rotate more to be almost upside down, but I was more focused on giving directions for the shot.

We hadn't been to a zoo for decades. While it is truly wonderful to see the birds and animals, I find it a challenging conundrum between preservation ( ie safe from extinction for the moment) and less than ideal conditions for the animals instead of "in the wild".

Adelaide Zoo was the 2nd to open in Australia in 1883, and was mostly the efforts of a private family. It is not funded by the government.

Taken this summer at Robert Moses State Park. Textures from Kim Klassen (Just Stitched) and Flypaper.

The theme this week @ Texture Tuesday is Wise Words. I love this John O'Donohue quote.

This supermarket has a coffee bar right inside the store. All the shopping carts are fitted with convenient little cup holders. I’ve noticed that many of the patrons seem to find that their shopping experience goes better if they carry around a tall latte. So, in honor of "The Weekly Grocery Shop" at 7 Days of Shooting, where we are to do “photos of how we go about to get those groceries” I decided to better prepare for my shopping with a bold black brew.

Actually, it was "sweet sunday" but no matter. Once Lent begins, this will be a distant memory, hence the processing. :)

I made a maple bundt cake with a filling of my homemade apple walnut compote. It was a delish tea time. Now, after this is gone, let the fasting begin!

Happy Mardi Gras! Have a great (fat) Tuesday everybody.

Textures compliments of Kim Klassen for Beyond Layers. Thanks Kim!

Met this little chap on the bridge to the lake! He wasn't a bit shy and later followed me to the car and sat on my wing mirror looking in at me!!

My friends, I am still writing comments rarely... Sometimes during the day my typing is better and I'll make comments. Often during the day my arms feel heavy, I peck slowly and make many mistakes. Then I make only very few comments. My heartfelt thanks to you all for your kind comments and positive energy! I soak it up and feel better! You are the best!

Come on little bear, school is starting. I think Mr. Seahorse has a crush on Miss Giraffe.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday theme, back to school, we were asked to use two textures. I combined Aurora and Silence.

7DOS. Texture Tuesday. Vibrant. The heather is quite vibrant, though abbot muted here by the rain.

Xziva's colour is a nice dark blue but in the morning sun she got this golden shine on her .

7 Days of Shooting - Week 15 (w/b 15th October) Barrier: What barriers divide the area where you live, work or visit? Perhaps you have a garden wall, or an ornamental gate. For this week, show us those barriers, including fences, walls, & gates.

It was right down the street from us and we walked there everyday..itis really something to stand under...Of course you can climb to the top but that's really not my style...

I was amazed to see wild blackberries in bloom again, in mid October. In this area the fruit is usually finished in August or early September.

Still struggling for the "sparkle" that I want to catch but just can't so I've fallen back to my archives of a month ago! Taken amongst the rocks at Prestwick and looking across the Firth of Clyde to Ailsa Craig.

7 Days of Shooting Week #46 A Little Sparkle Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

Thanks for Stopping Bye .. Have a Wonderful Day

The story...Sunday morning my husband and I were on our way to church from our mountain cabin and we came upon freezing fog so thick it looked like snow. My husband stops the truck and said, "get your camera and get this". I'm dressed and ready for church...but I'm always game for a quick capture even on a muddy country road with church clothes on!

for 7DoS: I'm pretty sure Hub wouldn't like to be seen as textured ... could be worse, we could still be doing worn and weathered ;) ... so I found this one bird of prey on my phone. Surprisingly unflustered by all the close attention.
