Day 149 - OOopps

Truthfully I forgot to take a picture earlier on and only remembered when I came up to the office to turn on the pc. Ooopps! Boring pic for today I'm afraid.

Day 148 - One week to go

I am soooooo excited. Only one week until we land in the Isle of Man for race week of this years TT road races. And what a week we have planned. Monday at the new grandstand at Creg-ny-baa, the famous corner as the bikes come off the mountain road, with some friends, and Friday myself and the hubby have VIP grandstand and paddock passes for Senior TT race day!!! I'm seriously like a child waiting for Father Christmas to arrive. Just hope this week goes fast! I can smell the exhaust fumes already..........

Day 147 - Blast from the Past

Out on a hen night on Saturday and I came across this sign in O'Neills bar on St Mary Street, Cardiff. Anyone from Dublin will know this iconic set of cafes that are sadly gone. I used to enjoy breakfast in Bewleys on a Saturday in Dublin city centre as a treat while out shopping with Mum. Fond memories!

Day 146 - End of another week

Boring week in work epitomised by a boring photo. Apologies for the lack of effort!

Day 145 - Sunset

Driving home from my first ever studio photo shoot and as I came off the dual carriageway I noticed the start of a stunning sunset. I stopped but realised I was too low down on the ground so got to higher ground and found somewhere local to shoot from. Patience while the sun dipped in between the clouds and this is what I was rewarded with. You might not think it that good but I was pleased with the results, especially the wooden post circle I found for some foreground interest.

Day 144 - Jinny Joes

I've always know these unusual seeds as Jinny Joes (name for them in Dublin) and was checking yesterday with a colleague that I was right in thinking they were dandelion seeds. He replied yes and thought I was then going to ask if he'd blow some for me to take a shot. I hadn't thought of that but today we had some fun before lunch. Todays picture is the result of 7-8 stalks blown and about 100 shots taken. We were both pleased with it and I'm considering getting a print of it for him for helping me. Pleased at punch we both were with this shot!

Day 143 - Bag Lady

Now, I'm not normally a girl who likes bags, I'm more a shoe person. But after reading an article in a recent Glamour magazine about the founder of the Cambridge Satchel Company, I knew I just had to have one of these. However, after seeing the various sizes, shapes and colours available, I bought two! The first was kindly dropped in by a neighbour this evening and I'm over the moon. It's a smaller size in yellow and embossed with my initials. Cannot wait to try it out!!
