I was playing with my camera (nothing new here) and was amazed to be able to take pictures in the low light of the evening. The candles were flickering in their pots, I have some lovely shots of them for another post. I looked at my son and couldn’t see his face because it was dark now. Laughing, he picked up the candle and held it by his face… and then there was light… enough for me to take this (and many other shots) by candle light.<\/p>\n Lawn<\/strong> I spy daisies in my lawn. I have a small circle of daises that appear just before the lawn needs cutting. I love them, they remind me of when I was a young girl making daisy chains. Happy Easter to you, only a small chocolate egg for me then. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 24th April 2011 I am linking up with Scavenger Hunt again.

\nI am linking up with Scavenger Hunt<\/a> again. It is such a fun challenge, I have really enjoyed finding things this week and I have tried a new technique, inspired by Kim Klassen<\/a> who uses it to show her before and after texture photos. <\/p>\n

\nI was trying to catch the sun bouncing off this spinner, but when I loaded the pictures on to my computer, It hadn’t worked but I noticed a reflection of me in each of the twists!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/focusing-288x300.jpg\" "\\"focusing\\"")

\nI took so many pictures this week for this category, and I so wanted to try this technique. I might put the others in another post to practice it. <\/p>\n

\nWorking with this snail was so much fun! Normally I return them to the world outside my gate but this morning this fella was sunbathing and the SH challenge popped into my head, I wonder if there is anybody inside.
\nHow to get him out? I tried calling politely. I tried a gentle knock on his home. I tried huffing him, you know how if you huff batteries they come back to life? I wondered what they eat, apart from my new seedlings! Then I had a brain wave, you always see snails when it is damp! I got a glass of water and pretended it rained on him and sure enough… Yes! can I help you?<\/p>\n

\nDo you remember lying on your tummy, with your friends, waving your legs about, making daisy chains while sharing secrets?
\nWhy don’t I do that anymore?
\n“you would need help to get up!” came the chorus from those that know me!<\/p>\n
