Having a go at the UKS summer CyberCrop classes. This is the first Lo of many I hope to be produced over the next few days! This is from "Love Is..." class by Crafty Pastimes.

Passion Flower

This is a LO I did for the weekly challenge on UKS and for the Blog 'til You Drop challenge 2, had great fun combining both challenges so they worked together, loved doing this LO, left the Craft Robo switched off and went back to the time-consuming but satisfying hand-cut title! Thanks for taking the time to visit!

A RED FROG??? (Photo 3/362)

Finally manged to get a piccy of the RED frog in my garden pond, every time I crept out there earlier he scarpered but this evening he wasn't bothered by the fact he had a camera lens shoved up his nose!!!
Loving playing with my camera and I am getting some excellent pics this year.

BLEURGH!!!

Laying in bed this morning and heard a bird trapped in the chimney, so hubby and I decided it had to come out, now as our chimney is sealed up, the only access is a little ventilation grate or rip the wall out and replaster which is not an option!!! So into the grate with the hoover we go thinking if we clear all the dust and goodness knows what away we may be able to reach the delightful little blighter, only for me to pull the hoover nozzle out with a dead bird head attached to it!!! EEEEUUURRRGHHHH!!!!! Three bird skeletons later and this one is still flapping about in there, we can't get to it until it drops down to the grate, so until then its gonna have to stay in there! Thing is the top of the chimney is pretty much covered to stop this so they must be forcing themselves through the tiny little gap to get in there in the first place!! DUH!

That was so gross, things like that don't normally bother me but when I don't expect it, I get really freaked out!

I'm so tired today, I feel emotionally drained (long story) and physically knackered, went to a car boot yesterday and got a tripod for my camera for £2 and set of alphabet stamps about 30 years old for £1, only thing is, today I'm paying for it!!! I not fit enough yet after my operation, but No Pain No Gain!

Here's todays pic, didn't use the tripod for it but hey it's a great shot! Love these little chaps in my back garden, there is a red one!? but I am yet to catch him on film, but I will put on here when I do get him saying cheese for the camera!

NOTE TO SELF: Hoovering is obviously detrimental to my health so avoid it at all costs from now on!!

362 to go!!!!!

Not an amazing shot admittedly but an opportune one! I was sitting here on my computer when I heard a ships horn and looked out the window to see this! "The Jewel of the Seas" off on another exotic trip, everytime it docks here I dream that maybe one day I will be on it, sailing away from everything, and then reality kicks in and just sit back and watch! I know I am incredibly lucky to be so near the sea, it near enough is around my street on three sides!! It is a shame in a way though cos as its there I do take it for granted, I may walk along the promenade and I love sitting near the sea wall watching the ships dock but I haven't been to the beach for years!!!!

Photo Number 2!!

Whilst spending part of my morning lazing about in the garden I decided to take a piccy of my buddleia! And what a fantastic scent it has, its lovely just laying there, occasionally getting a waft of its perfume!

On a not so nice note I have had a count and the grand total of gnat bites on my legs is 15!!! Not impressed, must have got them yesterday, whilst I was down the lake taking pics of dragonflies, but the really annoying thing is I WAS WEARING INSECT REPELLANT!!!!!! Aaarggghh!!!

NOTE TO SELF: Change brands and don't scratch!!

365 photos

Decided this was a fabulous idea, the idea is to take a photo everyday and upload it to here so here is one I snapped yesterday, a close-up of a dragonfly, They are so delicate and so vibrant!

Will see what today brings!!
