Silent Sunday

 

I hear ya!

She who must be obeyed (aka The Boy and Me) suggested that my photos were too small. I could have told her to zoom in of course, or head to my 365project account. But I can take feedback so here you are. In full glorious technicolor.

I will use the excuse now that they are all taken on my iphone and I don't love the quality of them. (That's why I always publish them small ;-) ). I will also now pledge to dust off the real camera and actually take a few proper photos. If I had used my real camera this week I would have...

... missed the Princess sitting in the box. She leapt out very quickly.
... ended up with a flash shot of the wee one in a tunnel and lost the silhouette.
... dropped my camera in my washing up because it is heavy.
... got a wet camera strap from the dew soaked grass on the rugby field.
... got a shot of the wee one's hand as he is over having his photo taken.
... not bothered taking a photo of the wee one's shadow eating his tea.
... got an infinitely better shot of the bull at the Stamford Georgian Festival.
So sometimes a shaky old iphone gives you the opportunity to capture a snpashot of our lives that you wouldn't otherwise have. At least that's my logic.

Are you an iphonographer or a photographer? Actually can an iphonographer call themselves a photographer?

Silent Sunday

Make like a Sunflower

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.”
- Helen Keller

Today I sought out the one remaining sunflower at the back of the garden shed and stood beside her as her head lifted towards the weakening Autumn sun. I raised my face to be warmed and did not look behind me, at the shadow on the ground. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.

I hope there will be sun again tomorrow. But if there is no sun, does that mean we are all in the shadow of the clouds?

Little Adventures with Barny

These feet are made for... scooting apparently so a-scooting we did go.

This is a new thing for the wee one having decided he is too big for the pram now and finding a 3 year olds walking pace not always conducive to necessarily fast paced school runs. We have spent a couple of weeks dragging him along with a bag tied to the handle bars which is hard work going up hill but reassuringly under control going down hill.

But yesterday was time for free scooting. With a little Barny cake to refuel en route.


It started well with The Wee One enjoying the freedom of whizzing along (must get him to wear a helmet) and learning how to control his speed and direction. He even tackled a slalom of parking posts.

We then stopped for a snack in the form of a milk filled Barny cake. According to the Wee One I made two mistakes here:

1. I only brought one cake with us.
2. The second cake that I should have brought should have been chocolate filled.


Duh!

Hence the last three photos were of a less than impressed three year old showing Stamford how to sulk professionally.

What adventures have you got up to today?

This post is an entry for Britmums 'Little Adventures Challenge' in partnership with Barny, the bear-shaped snack providing a little discovery in every bite. Find out more about Barny here.

Simplicity

I'm keeping it simple. Perhaps too simple but I don't seem to have the capacity to push myself out of my comfort zone.

It is probably the changing seasons, getting back into the school routine, and a challenging three year old who hasn't quite worked out that he isn't top dog in this house.

My 'need to do' list is ever growing, my 'want to do' list floats around taunting me. 

I really should get off my arse!
