PhotoHunt 103 :: High

I have never made it all the way up that moutain but I have been all the way up to Andorra. That road you can see in the picture led high up into the Pyrenees.

PhotoHunt 102 :: Metal

Now you could rattle your house keys around in that satisfactorally ... couldn't you?

PhotoHunt :: I spy

themes · home · participants

Ok, you can see the little yellow bird - that's easy. But can you spy it's nest?





Clicking on the picture enlarges the image making it much easier to see the dangling round nest.

PhotoHunt :: Light

themes · home ·participants

I love to look at light over water - sunrise or sunset or fireworks, you name it. Particularly when there are rocks involved. You have to look for the light in these pictures BUT it's there!

PhotoHunt :: Small

Well you didn't think dragons started full size did you? They have to start somewhere ... for starter, there are small dragons all over Wales

PhotoHunt :: Long

themes · home ·participants

Can you see the end of the beach? Way down there in the distance? Past the light house, just keep on walking! I was in South Africa, near Durban, the beach went on and on for ever. It was a long walk back.

PhotoHunt :: Red

themes · home ·participants

The red bead work dishes in the centre stand out for me. Hundreds of hours of work in each one. I just couldn't afford one - they were worth every rand. So I just had to settle for a red chilli key-ring.

PhotoHunt :: Hot

themes · home · participants

This week's PhotoHunt was Hot ... I could of course gone and stalked the delightful Hugh, or the gorgeous Viggo for a week or two - but that just wouldn't have been right. So I give you instead ... my infamous* Lamb and Fig Tagine!

I don't think I realised how hard it is to photograph steam. Bit like catching it in your hand really :o) It was certainly hot and I think I managed to capture the steam.

* It's the figs - poor love's bowels just can't cope!

PhotoHunt :: I love France!

themes · about · participants

I love France, particularly the Basque and Lot regions. This photo is in the Basque country; a view of the beach at St Jean de Luz, looking south east towards the Pyrenees. I really do love France ... well, most things about it - the people, the language, the countryside, the beaches, the food* and of course the fact that my parents live there. Lots more French photos for you to enjoy ici.

* It must be said I don't much care for the accordion music.

PhotoHunt :: Flexible

themes · about · participants

We were coming home from a party and there wasn't enough room in the car for Simon ... so we bent him in half and he fitted in the boot! He looks happy because it was a very good party ;o) Luckily there were no rozzers around.

PhotoHunt :: Classic

themes · about · participants

As well as taking part in NaBloPoMo, I have been dillying and dallying and finally decided that I am going to try to do PhotoHunt every Saturday. Well, we'll see wont we? I can only succeed or die trying ;o)

We spent time during a residential trip rock pooling, there was no "worried about health & safety" bureaucracy, the children were fully briefed and full of the excitement/enjoyment of it. We left 2 hours later, tired but enormously happy. It was a truly classic British summer's day!

p.s. Those are the white cliffs of Dover there guys!
