Burner

Back in September I had the opportunity to take photos out on the field at a hot air balloon race. As soon as I took this picture of one of the burners, I knew I wanted it in black & white. Yes, the burnished copper fittings were interesting, but in a way it just looked dirty.

WATCH OUT!

And make sure no one turns the gas on while your looking at it close up :)

Speaking of black & white, I would be remiss if I didn't mention my friend Mark over at Musings in Monocrome (http://www.highton-ridley.co.uk/blog/2009/10/october-freebie-prize-draw-now-open.html). He is once again giving away three signed, mounted prints in the month of October. You really should visit his gallery (http://www.highton-ridley.co.uk), choose your favorite and recommend it to others. Then, head over to his blog and let him know you want in on the giveaway. You can see all the details here.

Granny Smith

It's Almost Thursday!!



Who isn't distracted by shiny things?

On a whim, we went apple picking this weekend. Drove an hour to do it and we were out in the orchard for less than 45 minutes, but it was worth it. The kids had a grand time and we've got a lot of yummy apples to make a ton of tasty treats.

This Granny Smith stood out because most of them were pretty dull. It looked shinier out in the orchard than it showed up here. But that one shine amongst all the other apples was certainly distracting.

Please join in the fun and show us all your shiny stuff. All I ask is this:

Warm Wishes

It's Almost Thursday!!



Who isn't distracted by shiny things?

This pool water isn't just distractingly shiny, it's mesmerizing.

It's gotten quite cold all of a sudden and I think we're in for a rough winter.

Even though it's been less than a month since my in-laws shut up the pool, I'm wishing for the warm weather again. Funny, I'm sitting here rubbing my cold feet together, wishing it was warm enough to cool off in the pool.

Slap

It's Thursday!!



Who isn't distracted by shiny things?

I'm so sorry folks! Here it is Thursday morning and I'm just now putting this up. I've been sacked by a nasty cold and went to be early last night - so, so, so sorry I'm late!

Anyway, this was an "on a whim" photo. My daughter was irritating me with her slap bracelet. You know how something as repetitive as slap, slap, slap, slap can be. Then, you add in the younger sister with the, "Let me do it, let me do it, let me do it." Well, you get the picture. They lost the bracelet, but I gained a nifty, shiny photo :)
