Dark days, low light and stray fingers

 Today saw me wanting to take pictures but alas the light was not suitable. I was able to quell my creative urges by using my iphone and a free drawing app. Not great art but great fun!

Communication - changing times

Before the 1980s communication was a letter or a phone call made from home or from a call box.  How strange it now seems as we all walk around instantly chatting or texting. What busy lives we all must lead with such important things to say.....Sure ?  The art and beauty of the pen and paper seems lost in our world of high tech living. 

Design perfection

It's cold and wet and grey. The sky is white with snow to fall and the wind is bitter. I took this picture on a hot sunny day in July so I'm posting it to say this December weather will pass. Oh but great design lasts.

Dressed for the snow

One small dog was dressed for the weather. Very cold, blizzard conditions and black ice to contend with. Foxy was as alert as usual and ready for any emergency. Oh and yes he is wearing his seatbelt.

November night.....

A wild November night. It took over three and a half hours to drive twenty miles. A bad accident sent emergency services racing to the scene in the distance. Long queues ahead that ran for ten miles. We took to the back roads thankful for sturdy tires and tracking. 

Catch....

The white skies of a winter evening. A very cold day with little or no warmth to be had from the sun. Walking to the car park I glanced across at the tree and saw the setting sun like a childs ball caught within it's branches. 

It's not going to hurt....well only a little.

Well this is a rather strange entry. I've just had minor surgery on my skull which involved having some excess bone removed. As it was done under a local anesthetic I was awake during the procedure. The sense of pressure and tugging was only unpleasant at one particular time. I now have a bump free scalp, whoopee and a monumental headache but I know that will pass. All the staff were fantastic. Kind thoughtful and patient oh and the consultant did a lovely french knot!!!

In reflective mode.....

I saw this sculpture in a cemetery and thought how wonderful to be portrayed as being so calm and tranquil. But then I reflected and thought how sad to be in such tight control of ones passions and emotions. The turbulence of life does leave it scars but we live and learn and learning is the golden ticket to happiness. 

Dare to be different.......

Out walking on the beach I passed this pile of rocks. Nestled amongst them was a small sliver of brickwork. The red handmade bricks stood out amongst the stark grey of the rocks washed smooth by the waves. Being different in a crowd may feel strange but you have the right to be yourself and keep your own identity. 

A Very Happy Day

So what was the memory that made me smile?
