But, I'm quite limited in the summer - the very bright mid day early afternoon hours are right out, unless in the shade of course ;) It all has to be either early morning or evening. Even yesterday I had to pull the sky back in PP ;)
 
So lots of gorgeous sunrises and sunsets then!

How long have you lived over there?
 
So, today's photo was meant to be a diptych showing you what amazing gardening I'd done today - amongst laundry, preparing lunch, taxiing the girlies about and all that other mundane crap that has to be done.

However, I completely forgot to take the after shot :cuckoo: So, here we go with the before and I'll have to do the after one tomorrow :lol:

Do you hear that strange drip, drip, drip, drip?? :thinking: Don't worry, it's not your taps. It's the sound of my heart bleeding for you....

Right, that said, just off for a clotted cream scone and some ice cream with chocolate flake......didn't need a fridge, just kept it in the boot of my car! :razz::lol:

Today's photo is really another designed to make us jealous, I guess! I like the shadows, but wonder whether a crop to some of that at the bottom would actually make the overall scene look better? Not sure, so I may be wrong about that. I love those clouds and that great blue sky!
 
Do you own your own rotavator? You are my kind of woman!;)
 
I've actually got a shot of it in landscape too - which shows all the weeds and crap I cleared today - I shall use that one for my diptych :D But, yep I rather liked the clouds too :)
 
Those clouds! That beautiful blue sky!


Sulk!
 
Really like day 67 really nice view. Agree that I'd like the background more out of focus but as you mentioned you only had the kit lens with you. 68 is also super, great light on that seen. The sunshine is fantastic.

Had a quick look over the vast amount I missed too, love the ballet feet shot, great tones! There's a green spot at the top that I would have either cloned or cropped out though. Very minor observation though, it's still great :)
 
So, the photo I was meant to take last night - and check out that huge barrow of weeds :D It was all looking a bit Pikey and as it's at the fromt of the house I thought I'd best do something about it ;)

There are now a couple of holes dug just past the rose bush - not sure exactly who is responsible, but I'm going to leave off planting anything there until after Easter as I have my suspicions that it's the new baby boy ;)

Just got to put the Jetwash over the bit where they ate the bag of compost - oh joy and it should look almost repectable :)

Does look better Sarah, what did you do with my rotavator?
 
Now I've caught up with myself I need to make the effort to catch up with as many as I can on here!! :bonk:

So the ones that stand out are

61, the cat. Love this both for the processing and the composition, plus he looks like a pretty cool customer :-)

62 the demolition I like but Im not sure why, it's got a slight HDR feel to it, or is it just me LOL

63 is a lovely flower though I cant help thinking the middles a little dark and the picture could do with a slight crop from the top.

64 the snail. It's a shame both his eye stalks arent in focus and more of the shell, however loving the idea of the soft smail on the prickly holly!

65 of the fountain works well with the mono

66 the green bugs great against the yellow though the eyes of it aren't in quite enough focus I dont think

67 lovely view and works well given its orientation :-)

68 and 69 is making me jealous as our weathers so naff at the moment :shake:
 
Blimey you have been busy in that garden....and as the snow starts to fall here that sunny weather makes me soooooo jealous :razz::razz::razz::D

I am starting to realise how lucky I am actually ;)
 
Well, today I decided that I was really going to get my A in G and get stuck into the house work - I made a cake :D

That looks delicious, Sarah! Lovely and moist and as Simon says (LOL) DOF is good on this. I like the dark cake against the colourful plate and BG as well.
 
Oh my! If its not Simon teasing us with food it's you!
That does look very very scrummy
