Slice of Life e-course


I treated myself to a spot on this course this time last year and it was great fun.  The course was well led and all questions were dealt with promptly and very professionally.  I picked up some great tips and am certain it helped increase my photographic ability enormously.  Now you can do the same, the course is due to run again starting this February 6th 2012.  Come on, you know you want to, click the link above to find out more.

A small group of small stones!

Okay so I am falling behind, I do have an excuse which I won't bore you with here, but needless to say life just gets in the way sometimes.  So here we are!

Small Stone - Day 15

A gift from my daughter last summer

There is nothing quite like a daughter in your life  .... except maybe a son?

Smiling as she watched them walking side by side, holding hands.  One day, she thought, there will be room again.

With so much paperwork to deal with.  It was a good thing that the Postman had not delivered any mail for three days.

What this video says is spot on, the way it is presented drives me nuts as it is flashing about everywhere, a bit too frantic for me. However I absolutely love and agree with the message.

Shivering, the cold earth waits patiently for the warming touch of the sun.

Small Stone - Day 13

We have been visiting this place for several years now.  It is familiar, welcoming even.  Quite an achievement for a hospital.  Here it is normal to be surrounded by people with metal frames secured to arms and legs.  Out there, in the real world, people stare!

Tick tock, the hands of the clock
Marking time, keeping score
Tick tock, the hands of the clock
Passively watching, ever more.
