Some people said that they would like to see the complete painting from the PhotoHunt post, so here it is, still on my easel – when I had just finished it. I think it fits for Ruby Tuesday.

This is a section of one of my paintings.  I think you can say that it’s wrinkled.

Sky Watch Friday & Award

posted by Babs on Thursday, 21 August 2008


When we feel like going for a walk, Mo and I often come here. It’s our local reservoir, and is a beautiful spot for walking. This is the view to our left.

On our right is the reservoir and another beautiful view, with lots of fluffy clouds.

Now for something completely different…..

I was given this great award by The Teach. Thank you very much!. I love this award for two reasons. I like it because it’s nice to think you make people smile, and also because I love the Happy Feet video trailer, which I have on my iPhone. It makes me smile every time I watch it.

I will pass this award on later, but I just wanted to get it posted today ;O)

Ruby Tuesday – The Rose

posted by Babs on Monday, 18 August 2008

Here it is, in all it’s glory!  I have posted several photos this time.

The second bud bursts out after some heavy rain.
My feet got soaked walking on our waterlogged garden, but I didn’t care, I didn’t want to miss this one!

Day one.

Day two.

I decided to cut the rose and bring it in.  The weather was not good, and I wanted the lovely smell indoors :O)

bud 3.jpg

Day three.  For some reason, I just couldn’t get the focus right on the last couple of days.  Probably not enough light.  I can’t wait to get a DSLR camera, so I can see what I’m taking properly.

Day four. Also, the rose is not as light in colour as it looks here.  The first few shots show the correct colour.

Now I shall have to come up with something else for next weeks Ruby Tuesday ;O)

New Layout and photos

posted by Babs on Saturday, 16 August 2008

I am posting these images as a test. I have re-designed my blog to allow for larger photos. It saves having to click to enlarge images. I hope this works for you.

This little creature was a complete surprise to me. It just looked like a normal fly to the naked eye. I had to lean over, and stretch out with the camera at arms length, to take this macro shot, and when I saw it on my computer screen I was quite surprised at the cute little thing.

I was very pleased with this one as well. I only have a small camera, so was pleased with the sharpness of this one.

PhotoHunt – Colourful

This photograph was taken at one of our puppet performances, whilst they were waiting in the wings :O)  I thought it fitted well with the ‘colourful’ theme this week.

Ruby Tuesday

posted by Babs on Monday, 11 August 2008

I feel cheated! Just two days after me taking the photo of the rose bud, I went to check it’s progress and this is what I found! Totally opened and past it’s best. It is still beautiful but I was so disappointed.


I have some consolation though, I found another bud :O)

Caught in the web

posted by Babs on Sunday, 10 August 2008
I was out in the garden, just as it was getting dark.  I saw this and decided to take a photo.  Without a flash it was boring, but once I used the flash it brought it alive, I thought.  If you enlarge it you can see the detail better.  Full size it’s beautiful, but, obviously I can’t post it that size.
