I did this one a couple of days ago. There was a bit of a snowstorm today with plenty of ice also to dangle from things. It was lovely. I picked up this little 1955 Ford the other day at the hobby store. Perfectly what I needed.
Happy Truck Thursday

Sometimes there is not much to do. So now we can sit and look out the window. What is that neighbour doing over there?

You sank my Battleship! One of our favourites (after Monopoly) for a quick game, this is the smaller pocket travel edition.
Attempted to create a little cinematic mood!

It was back in the early fifties when I remember first noticing it. It could have been around long before that, but that was my first memories of it. It sat on a small shelf on the wall in the kitchen near the gas stove. And it shared shelf space with a wooden match box holder, a little tin thing that left the striker on the box exposed so that you could light those matches with the white phosphorous tips. There were no pilot lights on the gas stoves at that time, or at least on our stove, so matches nearby were always needed. Very important if you wanted to make coffee in the little 2 cup drip pot that always found a home on top of one of the burners on the stove. And besides the wooden matches holder a small shot glass filled with toothpicks also resided. So, the little green pitcher always had some company as it rested on the shelf with it's two companions. I don't really know where Mom got it...a gift maybe?, or a purchase at a local 5 and dime store maybe?, and ours was Woolworth's in downtown Freeport, NY. I'm sure it had little monetary value, the label on the bottom simply said "Made In Czechoslovakia." But there it sat, and rare, if ever, was it used for the purpose of it's design, and never did it see a flower or two from Dad's garden. And other than maybe a special occasion when friends or relatives stopped by it might have been used to put milk in it for the coffee that was often served to guests. But, I have no direct recollection of that, for me it just always sat on that little shelf in the kitchen with the wooden matches holder and the shot glass filled with toothpicks. So now, some 70 plus years later I still have it, and I still have those memories of the little green pitcher that once sat in the house I grew up in. Now, however, it sits on a different shelf, and Catherine fills it with flowers from our gardens, but in my heart, and in my memories, it will always be sitting on that little kitchen shelf on the wall shared with it's two companions.
I don't even remember the names of these two bears. It is an old image and the favourite ones run around loose while the others are in plastic containers.

Today Gerrie was at the front window (he doesn't do that often) so I grabbed my A99 and I took his picture. Barry joined in as well. I snapped a few.

comments off for this one...
but my gratitude to all who share the space :-)
Well it certainly is a colourful box. No doubt about that.
I am curious what Charlie might be up to in there, but have also learned that it may be best to not ask.

Some days
What's a Bear to do?
Sit at the window
and see the world is true.
I just took this awhile ago as I had no new bear images. The poem just came to me.

For the first time in a long time I did this macro two days early.
I was using the needle for the SoS group on Saturday.
THIS IS THREADED by the way
unhappy Macro Mondays (because my picture was pulled from the group)
It is nice when the bears do some sharing. I am just happy that they are not throwing food around. They do that sometimes.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
I am pretty sure that the shoe is a bit big for you. I might add that you only have one and you would need another to make a pair.

I do not know what was in there. Too warm outside today for hot chocolate. But soon my little bear. Huntley was not impressed with my answer.
Trust me we will be getting hot chocolate soon.

You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day.
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way,
Turn your love my way, yeah.
This is a favourite spot for the bears to perch some days. Especially if it is raining. They do not like the rain so much.

tiny little scoop with tiny little stars, for macro Monday.
Now I'm going to have to bake something =D

Won't be gobbling up these props any time soon !! lol
……An hour earlier it would have been a very different picture - and I’d have got VERY wet!! I stood here for ages and imagined the light streaming into this magnificent window back in the day!! Taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. HSS, Alan:-)…….

There was something about the light shining into this vacant room that inspired me to take this shot. It felt so moody.
Craziness is now a part of our normal. I guess our shadow is the only thing we can be close to now. I believe the world is going to change after this. I say this because I do not think economies can survive a prolonged lull like this.
Be safe and stay close to your shadow,

Why does Flickr have these special editing tools like replace if they do not work, or take more than five minutes to work. OMG
Easier to just delete it and start again.

It has been awhile since Cash allowed himself a trim. So he feels a bit uncertain about all of this.
Good Luck buddy.

That is what the Teddy Bears call her. A couple of the Bears are afraid of her. I understand why.

Gerrie is feeling pretty good about himself. Leg crossed and all. Nice fancy camera also.
