Just For Fun

So I said to Blue  "can you make a silly face for me?"

And he said " how's this"

 That's good but have you got a sillier face?

"You mean like this"

 " Come on Blue keep trying, I know you can give me a sillier face"

" I think this is pretty good"

 " Good but not quite there yet"

" Okay, this is my last try, take it or leave it"

 " Perfect and thank you for being such a good sport"

"Okay, I'm done amusing you for the day, how about a treat"

 Until next time

Bambi & Thumper ....really do exist!

I recently received this as an e-mail and thought you might enjoy these pictures. What an incredible photographer to have captured these wonderful photos.

These were taken in Alberta , Canada in a back yard.

The Day After

The Day After 

It’s the day after Thanksgiving the rain has stopped and I decided to take a walk around the farm to counteract some of yesterday’s feast. Grabbing my camera on the way out in case a picture worth taking caught my eye I stepped out into the gray day.  Moments later seeing a good shot I walked down a slope and this is what I got…

Yes, we have had a lot of rain lately and the mud was deeper than I thought. After losing my sneakers to this mud pit, I had a choice of walking back to the barn barefoot or slipping them back on. I dug them out and I burrowed my feet into the slimy depths and sloshed all the way back to the barn. On the way back I was lucky enough to have a bunch of leaves stick to them, the latest fashion statement in barn wear I'm sure. Back at the barn I rinsed them off in the wash stall and barefooted it to the house. So much for a nice walk, the day after.

Until next time

Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

A Challenge

A Challenge

Holly over at dogs and horses  has issued a challenge to some bloggers and has included me in her list.  The challenge was started by shutter sisters, and states that you must take nine pictures for seven days. I’m not much of a photographer but I can point and shoot.  I’ll try to keep up and find something interesting to photograph. At this point, I’d like to invite anyone who would like to participate in this challenge to get your camera ready, get out there, and get some everyday pictures of what goes on in your life. Visit dogs and horses for more information. Have fun.

Here is my first set of nine pictures taken from around the yard.

 'Last Yellow Rose Before the Frost'

' Lonely Last Petunia'

'Favorite Little Red Maple'

'Flower Maiden' 

' Still Blooming Pink Roses'

'Ducky Wucky'

'Late Bloomer'

'Blackbird's Revenge'

'My Indispensable Helpers'

'Murphy & Maggie'

Until next time
