Week Twelve

Zooming in and out along the lanes.

I can’t take credit for spotting this ZIZO, my husband spotted it and stopped the car for me without me having to yell “photo op!”

Thank you Helena and Thank you Paul.

Week Eleven

Zooming in and out in the kitchen.

I made myself laugh with this one. I noticed a little ‘something’ on the plant pot on the kitchen windowsill.

With no glasses to be seen (!) I picked up my camera which had my telephoto lens on and saw this! ‘There’s always another way’ I thought
It made me think of Hugh Grant, in Notting Hill, at the cinema with his diving goggles on’

Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never ceased to be amused.

And Five pictures to show you of 19 I took in Five minutes, in my garden at 8.30am this morning (5th March) so that I can link with Sandie at Ichifingers
Although it is cold, there is a real feel of spring in the air, or maybe it’s in my mind? or in my photo’s?

It’s not often that I manage to combine two memes in one post!

Zooming in and out in the garden in the morning sun.

The winter Jasmine has been in flower for months but it still makes me happy when I see a new flower.

Thank you Helena

I set an alarm for five minutes and looked for some signs of spring.

A teeny tiny geranium flower in the hanging basket. Notice the blue sky?

Yesterday in town I saw a book in a charity shop called ‘Weather Forecasting The Country Way by Robin Page. General weather rules: If you see a patch of blue sky in the early morning (doesn’t say how early though) big enough to make a sailor a pair of trousers, the day will be fine Hmmmm… we shall see… although I am intrigued by folk lore …

It doesn’t seem five minutes since my pretty fuchsia was flowering and here it is in leaf

I can never resist a reflection

More teeny tinies

and my Ribes already has perfumed leaves if you crush them

I started this post at just after 9:00am, WordPress has been driving me nuts. It is taking far too long to load pages and pictures. But, on the up side, it is now 14:00 and the weather is still fine. Sailors trousers, indeed there was enough blue sky to stitch them.
