I went out today as it was a lovely warm day.  At least it was for us in the UK.  These are a few photos I took of the ducks.  I was amazed that they let me go right up close and photograph them.  Well, not those in the water  :O)

EDIT: Having been pointed out to me the fact that you never see more than one or two bulls in a field, and on closer inspection, I realize that these are, in fact, cows not bulls.  I would still be nervous of their horns though ;O)

Below is the photo that Mo, being braver than I, took!  The facial markings were not as unusual on this one though.

I don’t know if I’m late posting this – I probably am :O)  This was taken with my old camera last year but I thought these lambs looked cute in sepia.  I can’t tell you how I achieved the sepia, as I did this a while back.  After I turned it sepia in Photoshop, I made a layer and used ‘Screen’ to make it bleach out.  I then erase all but a few patches of the screen layer.

As always, just click on the logo above for more lovely Sepia Scenes.

A photo I took on the way out a couple of weeks ago. It was a lovely warm day (for the UK) and a lovely blue sky – to say nothing of the lovely cows!

Notice the lovely ‘dry stone’ walling that Yorkshire is famous for.

This is my cat Mitzi – Countess Dracula.  It is something I worked on in Photoshop for a cat blog competition for Halloween.  I think it comes under the ‘Scary’ category for PhotoHunt.  It does look very scary full size!

Can I get away with this for Ruby Tuesday?

I know it’s not really red but Mo and I went for a day out, at some of our local beauty spots, on Sunday.  It was such a lovely sunny day and I took over 100 photographs!  This little duck had a bad leg and allowed me to get up really close for some macro shots.  For more fun photos of the ducks see this post.

I thought I would post some of the best photos over the next little while.  They may not always be in keeping with the theme of the day, but I hope you will still find them worth viewing.

I’m a bit late for this one, but here goes.  I think this photo is definitely beautiful.  Caught under the blanket! :O)

We went to Chatsworth in Derbyshire and walked around some of the beautiful grounds. Sheep were grazing everywhere, along with their babies. I took lots of photos but couldn’t really get close enough for a good shot. They walked away as you got close. These may not be great quality photographs but the subject matter was worth posting.

Mo trying to touch one.

Chatsworth is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and it has been the home of their family, the Cavendishes, since December 1549.

Mary Queen of Scots, was imprisoned there on various occasions, in fact we stood on the very spot she was claimed to have used for exercise.

If you click on the photo you can read about it.

The grounds are massive, and we will definitely be going back there to see a lot more, and view the inside of this great house.

Someone was feeding this horse with chips, which he ate eagerly!

Some of them were wet and mucky from the muddy field they were in.  You can see the mud all over this horse.

I love horses and wish I wasn’t so nervous of them.
