In Portugal, tradition called for people to leave their shoes by the chimney during the night (if you don't have a fireplace, the kitchen will do). In the morning, children wake up early and run to the chimney to see what they got from Father Christmas.

I visited friends in Wiltshire. During the day we went to a village show which was great fun as it is so different from my usual activities. Disappointing for this rider that his horse clipped one of the poles in the show-jumping competition & left it at an angle - but useful for my photo themes!

TMSH "don't do it" - but the horse did!

MSH "lopsided"

From my archives for 7DOS texture - horse & rider both with "headgear", & contrasting textures of the jump, trees etc.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday the Word edition. The photo must contain words - either in the shot or added during processing. I used Kim's textures Soft Shale and Love.

Not sure if this will really work for Texture Tuesday's theme....the theme is two. There are only two leaves in focus here, so that is what I was thinking. I used Kim Klassen's Mayzee, Chamomile, and Cracked Up Textures. Have a great Tuesday.

Steamer SS Dicky was shipwrecked on a Caloundra beach which was named after her. The ship sailed from Rockhampton and as it arrived to clear Caloundra Head it met lashing rain and cyclonic winds that sent the ship on her beam ends. Captain James Beattie was forced to beach the ship to avoid hitting the rocks off Moffat Beach.

On 4th February 1893 at 10.35 am the ship grounded stern first on the beach.

The wreck was removed by the Sunshine Coast Council 30th July 2015 as it was considered to be a hazard to surfers and swimmers.

London on a grey, misty day.

100 Pictures #24 "opening"

From my archives for 7DOS texture.

One of my earliest memories. On the radio one day we heard that a bus had jumped across the gap as Tower Bridge started to open. I'd never been there (we lived in the suburbs) so the next day my lovely mum took me to London just to see the bridge. To my huge excitement we saw the bridge open while we were there. Of course, it's easier to see this now as a website lists the times when the bridge is due to open. The story of the bus is at

I'm doing much better again! Thank you so much for your emails and well wishes. Your warmth and love enters our home, our hearts, and makes us tear, in a very good sentimental way. We are touched by you.

I visited my vet on Monday and she does not conclude that I'm allergic to either of my medications, Tramadol and Baytril. She says I have a contact allergy on my skin. What caused it through contact is a very big mystery. The only thing different and new is that a mouse is still in our house since the night before my surgery. (Maybe tonight it will enter the mouse-house!) Otherwise, there is no infection inside either ear, thankfully. Only the outer skin of my ears is irritated pink by an angry rash, as the vet called it. The problem should clear in a few more days with the help of an ointment, and the vet will examine my ears again when I get my 24 metal staple stitches removed in one more week.

Here I was on Monday, resting in bed, and missing my numerous long walks and playmates. But sleep heals, so sleep it is.

Goodnight friends,

Love,

Vivi

For Texture Tuesday. Thank you Kim Klassen for this extremely beautiful new texture "Shades of November."

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" ~ Alice, "Alice in Wonderland"

Eat a few of this little guy's cousin and you could be visiting the land of "FUBAR" just like Alice, very, very soon!

The capstone of the Allegheny Mountains is this beautiful sandstone called Tuscarora Sandstone. I love getting out of the city to places where the bones of the earth are visible. The real world is healing in a way that nothing manufactured can match.

In the midst of our darkest moments there is the potential to lose all hope but hang on because one day the veil of darkness will lift and the light will come shining through to reveal a beauty that you could not have imagined.

So it is with this image, the original in the comments is awful but I knew the form of the swans was so beautiful and elegant and if I could get rid of the darkness and noise the beauty of their form would come through.

Our lives are like that, sometimes the beauty of who we truly are is so buried by the busyness, brokenness and sin of our lives that our true form is hidden, but once revealed we have so much more life to offer to those around us.

May we all be freed from those dark places that desire to keep us captive.

Thanks to a good friend and contact I'm using this photo - that I took last week - for today's Theme. I've brightened it up to give more emphasis to the differing textures!

Tim Tam is a brand of chocolate biscuit made by the Australian food company Arnott's. A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.

The biscuit was created by Ian Norris, who was the director of food technology at Arnott's. During 1958, he took a world trip looking for inspiration for new products. While in Britain, he found the Penguin biscuit and decided to "make a better one".

Tim Tams went on to the market in 1964. They were named by Ross Arnott, who attended the 1958 Kentucky Derby and decided that the name of the winning horse Tim Tam was perfect for a planned new line of biscuits.

7 Days of Shooting – Week #16 (w/b 23 October) If I Had Time I’d - travel the world or maybe just get up and go to the gym. We all live busy lives but if we just had a little time to do whatever we wanted to, what would that be …. a walk along the beach, a cup of coffee or maybe that Caribbean cruise!! Imagination is allowed for this week!!

I would spend more time walking the jetty, looking into the shop and stopping for a coffee or to while watching the day go by

This was a drive-by shooting (I wasn't driving). I saw this tree all by itself from the highway and tried to capture it, therefore the blur! (Kim Klassen texture)

So far behind but now trying to catch up! Looking down from above at our driveway mono block paving!
