Alas I did not get pictures of the initial charge it made towards us.
In the last one he just laid there for a bit then scampered off.

Cinnamon buns – second try
After doing some reading, and trying some things out, this lot tasted much better than the first. Think I almost have it down pat.

Cloudy
I have had this discussion with a couple people, who look at the clouds and imagine shapes, or others who only notice them when they get rained on, they do not see the shades, nature’s nuances and brilliance in simple, free for all to see display.
Or maybe I am just odd.

Apple Cinnamon White Cake
Apple Cinnamon White Cake, made in a bread maker this time, did not turn out as good as the oven baked but not bad. Finally found a bread tin that is not made of silicone so next time it will stand up nice, unlike last time when it bulged in the middle.

The dog LOVES bubble wrap, going so far as to gently nip along it just to pop the bubbles (she likes the sound). I caught this photo when we were playing and I was trying to take it away, and she kept returning to dangle it in front of me as if saying: “You think you can take this away on me? Come on try. You know you want it lil girl, keep trying, come on, make a grab for it.” Then she dashes off in triumph when you miss.

Dawning 1
This is one of my favorite pictures from this mornings predawn walk in the nature zone.
Already got the “your crazy” for going out to walk at 0330hrs but the picture is nice.
To give an idea of how dark it was when I left the house.
First Picture of the walk. Can you spot the moon?

Did not see the whole picture until I actually looked.
This is just one of a whole set of sunrise pictures I have yet to share but it amused me that I did not notice what was right in front of me.

Homemade Burger Company
Handmade Burger Co, Highcross Leicester.
The Day Out afforded me many many photo taking opportunities and with a few minor bits of restraint I kept an eye out for things that I found interesting.
Our stop for a midday meal was subject to a bit of debate as my cohort had previously been to the Handmade Burger Co. and did not like it, which caused a few wrinkles as I felt like a burger on this rare (I almost never go out) trip out and about.
Of course the wait was a bit long as the place was crowded but I kept her amused with my wobbly chair and dropping the number off the stick repeatedly. Any wonder why I rarely venture out? All the finesse of a bowling pin on a busy lane.
While ordering she did make a comment about the spices on the fries so I think she got extra just to make it worth her while (at least I hope so because I teased her about it).
This time around she found a burger that she liked (hurray for small miracles) and will likely visit again.
I enjoyed the meal, the staff were helpful and it was nice to sit down after following Miss “Shops A Lot” all over.
~I so needed the coffee by this point.~
I decided to make a collage of the photos I took, and looking at them makes her want to go back (alas it’s garden sorting day today so no not happening).
No, not my usual post, but hey gotta be different occasionally.
~Simultaneously posted in Complexity of Thought for the commentary (and to prove I am alive as my focus has been photography lately) -and here for the Photography~

Peeking.
Which does make one wonder, what she was peeking at?
Why her mother, and her new nephew of course.
Copper the newborn.
Copper the Newborn
Copper with Patch (his mom)
Copper with Patch
Copper with Patch.
We spent all night looking for Patch, who had snuck away to have her calf. On a 360 acre farm with bush/trees over 100 acres, hiding is easy, finding not always so easy. In the end we followed her daughter, Gwen, who took us right to the spot.
Everything looks wonderful, serene, even pretty. Anyone who has raised cattle knows it’s rarely like that, behind the scenes we had to follow the one cow through the bush for ages to be taken to the other. Very quickly after these photos were taken, the mama cow saw the dogs and well nearly ran over everyone chasing them, which unintentionally distracted her enough for us to load the calf and take it to the barn (don’t worry, mama was alongside the vehicle the entire time).
These photos all taken with an old Kodak 110 Camera – before dodging mommy cow.

Once upon a time, on a corner somewhere nearby, people sought solace and escape from their worries and hardships, just for a bit within the structures of whatever fashion and whichever belief.
The Photo was taken because stained glass, like sunsets, clouds and various other things, tends to draw my attention.
No intention of offending anyone, just sharing the beauty and the passing thought.

The background is indeed the focal point, the life and energy of the picture but the tree gives it that little extra to make it feel right.

The other night I was wishing for a better camera, not that mine is too shabby, it has taken some rather enchanting and surprisingly good photos lately, but to capture the moon as it was that night, alas not quite good enough.
The Moon was so bright that it was almost like having sunrise, and the clouds did not hang about to ruin the moon either.
I shall gather the rest and add them as a gallery soon but for now, this one will have to suffice.

My First Camera, Kodak Hawkeye Flashfun,
When I first started taking pictures I was told I could use mom’s Kodak, but no one showed me “how” to use it.
So I spent the day taking tons of pictures, one after another, and at the end of the day, they all ended up on 1.
My first ever photograph…ended up being an accidental collage.
Of course I was 11 at the time.

Precious demonstrates how to sleep.
Under the covers, head on a pillow, comfy in her slumber…a picturesque example of the art of sleeping.
Each soft snore shares her enjoyment of the activity, simple, deep and able to recharge one to puppy energy levels by the dawn and ringing alarm clock.
If only we could all sleep as deeply and well as my little charmer.
Goodnight Precious, see you in the morning.

How is it that we go about our days never noticing the little things of beauty.
Could not help it, it is like it asked me to take it’s picture.
Once you notice them, the delicate beauty is hard to ignore, you start to look for the next floating delicate beauty that chances by.

Photograph by Simple Lady
How easy is it to look at that picture and see more than just the view?
Hope, inspirations, dreams and admiration for nature are a few possibilities that come to mind.
Another thing from the “what we take for granted everyday” section.
Decided this photo could handle being a pseudo poster with a tiny message.
The original before the border was added:

The sun was about to rise and greet the day but for a while, the sky was filled with both.

~Weekly Photo Challenge UP ~
So taking the camera with me everyday is turning into a happy habit.
Today I thought I would try taking this picture and totally amazed that it turned out so well.
With the sun the way it was, I could not really see what I was doing.
