Oh dear......

You are not going to believe what happened this morning.

I was taking pics across the road from the shop

using Tara's camera, came back to the

shop and said to Mark, I really

wish I had of got the camera the other day,

he asked how much etc, and said I could

use some of the money from the sale

of the boat, until I got the money I am

expecting. The bloody sale ended yesterday.

Typical, now I have to wait until they

come on sale again, I told him I wont

get it until I am sure the money is

there, so I was not too dissappointed.

But gee I wish he had of said it

a couple of days ago, I would

have been there in a shot.

Sat and Sun photos....

Looking for a 'Retro' pic. I remembered my

coat from 1978. The girls reaction

'please tell us you didnt actually go outside

wearing that'. Cheeky brats.

Took a couple of weeks to convince Tiff

to be my model, as you can see she was

far from impressed. Honestly the coat

is not that bad.

So then I took a pic of Sheri wearing her

cool blue 'shades'. Pretty 'retro', I could

imagine someone wearing these in the 60's.

I played with the settings in photoshop to

take away all but the blue colour.

Yesterdays prompt was - feeling the cold!

What makes you feel warm.

My interpretation, my lovely, smelly, comfy

uggies and a good book.

Todays prompt - A rainbow of colour!

Sadly my colour pallette was sadly lacking colour.

It was overcast/smoky all day, I am not sure

the sun even came out. I took this

photo at nearly 7pm while I was waiting for

my order of chips. Even the usual colours

of the setting sun were letting me down.

Tomorrows prompt is - the weather today!

I bet it is blowing and miserable, the wind

is supposed to swing nor-east, so it wont

be good.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you have

left some love, thanks, much appreciated.

No photos today...

I went shopping instead.

Sheri is turning 15 on Easter Friday

so it was off to the shops today

to try and find a gift for her.

All I got from my shopping trip is:

I dont like the fashions they have for

this winter, I thought leggins went

out years ago.

And those funny knitted tops/dresses

or what ever they are dont have

much going for them.

She thought she would like a book,

huh right, they dont have that

in the Bay anywhere.

So I came home with very little

towards a gift.

While I was there I checked out

the camera's at Harvey Norman.....

Man I am so spewing that the

Taxation Dept has decided

they dont owe me anything.

The Nikon D90 is on special

for $1770, with a cashback voucher

for $200. You dont know how hard

it was to walk out of that shop

without one of those little babies

tucked securely under my arm.

All the way home I tried to come up

with some way to raise that sort of

money, but I cant see it happening

by the end of the weekend.

I will try to take a pic tomorrow,

I promise. I conned Tiff into

posing in my 'retro' coat

for a pic, but sadly the light

was all wrong and none of the

photoes worked. Not sure I can get

her to put it on again.

Thanks for stopping by,

thanks even more if you have left some love.

Day 2 of the March CC

Think fallen leaves???

I took a couple of pics today, Tiff

picked this one.

This one is sort of like autumn colours,

but just a bit blah.

I like this one, but too much like

yesterdays prompt.

Just took this one cause I liked it.

This is the other one I was going to use.

I like the curly leaves.

Just a quick post today, I worked

so not much to chat about.

So thank you for visiting,

catch you again, maybe tomorrow,

maybe not.

Todays pics and some old fav's

I absolutely love this photo. I took it just

after 8 this morning. Just before I

pulled up to take this pic the sun was

behind the cloud and everything

was a bit orange, by the time I took this

the sun had risen more, I love the

softness of this pic.

So I waited until this arvo, and wandered

over to the neighbours place.

This is the pic I have submitted,

dont know what it is but it is

pretty cool.

I cruised back into my pics to look at

other orange pics from the past year,

we used this one as the cover of our

Tide Guides this year. I was in the right

place at the right time, it was like something

out of the movies with special effects,

everything was orange/red, even the

people walking around.

This one was a random naked tree next to

Wallaga Lake, love the twistie looking branches.

This is my most fav of all, this was a fungus

growing in a tree stump on the side of the road,

it was massive and looked just like a big mouth.

The colours are exactly the same as the real

thing too, I was pretty impressed that I even

seen this.

It has taken me forever to load these tonight,

me and the puter were not getting on real well.

So I think that is enough rubbish from me,

I will try to load tomorrows pic tomorrow

night, I am not sure what the prompt is,

but I will endeavour to do something good.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gee I am slack.....

so long between posts! no excuse other

than being too lazy to do it.

You know it is so long since I uploaded a

Lo that I sort of cant remember which

ones I have done, and really cant be

bothered going back to have a look.

This is the Lo I have done for March

'Write now' over at Bons

Basically you had to ask a Q;

and then answer it somewhere on the page.

This one is a just because one.

I played with this pic of Tiff in photoshop,

so that I could use it for the sketch challenge,

it didnt work on that so I put this together instead.

She was such a little cutie at that age.
The photo of the Lo is not the best, the colour

have not come up very well.

*************

There is another photo challenge happening

during the CC this month, todays prompt

is 'Orange', I am really going to have

to get my thinking cap on for this one.

It is sort of to do with Autumn, but

being on the coast means that

we dont really get all the falling leaves

and wonderful colours like we used to

when I lived inland.

I have all day to think about it, so I

am sure something will jump out

at me sometime during the day.

**************

Now I am on here seems I have found plenty

to prattle on about, so I will step away

from the keypad and go hang the washing.

You all enjoy your day now,

and I will catch you another time.

Thanks for stopping by.

It's CC time at Bon's.
