Ice Crystals

We had a cold night last night so I took this photo in the back garden this morning, Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com
It's part of a spiders web showing the ice crystals that have grown on virtually everything in the garden, including the yellow plastic washing line. Click on the thumbnail to get a larger version.

Bill the Cat

I only have a couple of pictures of Bill the cat but you can see them below.

Nancy the Cat

I had a bit of fun photographing my parents cats over the Christmas holiday. Nancy the cat sat for a photo session...

Dragonfly

Sitting in the garden this morning, one of the cat's, Nancy became transfixed by something in the greenery. I thought she might have heard a mouse rustling but no. She pounced and I saw that she had caught a dragonfly. I tried to take it away from her before she could eat it. Predictably, I took it inside to photograph and here it is.

Nancy the Cat

I recently bought the book "Beaded Treasures" by Robin Atkins. It gives instructions for Finger woven bracelets, Necklaces, Tassels and Straps. Not having any of the items listed in the "Supplies" section on page 3, I of course decided to go ahead with what I had despite the fact that none of it matched the list. Instead of the cork board, I used an old cork notice board. For the T pins I used push pins. For the Fray Check I used nail varnish and lastly for the C.Lon cord I used some crappy yellow cottony thread.

Alamy

Hey, way to go. I clicked on the Alamy link without knowing what would turn up. Perhaps you could add something like "Stock photos for sale" to the site under the link. I like the River Boyd photo. Did you submit that one to Alamy?

One Sunny Morning

Every morning, I walk down to the shops to get DH's paper and a few groceries. If the weather is fine, like today, I come back via Canvey Lake where there is always something to see. Weekends, the fishermen are there, trying to catch the carp that inhabit the murky lake. They have to put them back after removing the hooks and the largest I've seen caught was about a foot long.
Last summer some Canada geese arrived to keep the ducks and swans company and must have liked the area because they've stayed and a few pairs have bred. One pair I counted 10 babies and another had six. The rest didn't seem to take the trouble to breed this year.
