Spotted this in my daily catalogue. “Eight letters”. A long forgotten collection of CDs. When we have time …………….
Drawn a line under my backlog and will try to keep going in the week and catch up with the missing blogs and comments in between. Pleased to say medical situation is improving but still a way to go. “Dramas” still continuing but determined to get our lives back.
The sedums are beginning to grow again in spite of the cold weather. I shot them from the upstairs window so they are “way down low’.
Although I did not get the white balance correct, I loved the way the light was filtered onto these snow-covered seed heads. It was a nice quiet shot that I may have missed. I liked the simplicity and stillness the image gave me.
At the beginning of the recent snow storms here, we had some beautiful soft snow flurries which blew in the wind. Picturesque and magical to watch. Not a very good representation but the best I could do.
Zig Zags spotted in the tiles at the Pizza restaurant.
Our grand daughter’s teddy which was ‘abandoned’ in the room she used for sleepovers with Grannie and Grandad. Sadly she does not sleep over so often as she is now a ‘teenager’ and has sleepovers with her friends now. However ‘Teddy’ is now on our daughter’s bed as she is staying with us and she enjoys cuddling him. These beloved teddies skip generations and become much loved. This one has gone back a generation too.
Visiting our daughter, I spotted her husband in the garage in the garage so I crept up and snapped him before he noticed. I was ‘outside looking in’ before he spotted me. A quiet time away from the family and the noisy puppies!
We were given this Amaryllis at Christmas and it flowered beautifully in the sick room. Gave us all a splash of colour and joy. Could not resist this shot with the light behind it complete with cobweb.
My Birthday Selfie. Definitely ‘Senior Hands”. Gradually accepting that the age spots and wrinkles and various other blemishes are OK. Shows the journey we have been on and add character to our bodies. Just glad to be alive at this age and looking forward to the adventures ahead of me!
Could not resist this for the clue. The colours are so “in your face” and garish even to the orange light. I loved it. Just so untasteful I could not believe I had composed it!
Sums up the roller coaster ride we have had with emotions, events, my language at times, the sheer horror of it all yet we have come through it stronger and wiser and closer as a family. Life is strange at times!
