A collection of 365+1 layouts

Ellie Lash - Bo Peep
I cannot claim that I took these photographs on the day concerned, life has been rather too busy so I  instead I noted down the prompts and went out with my camera today to find some appropriate subjects for the various titles.  I just loved the expressions on the faces of these sheep, and so many different breeds with very different shapes and looks.  They stood still and looked at me and I just thought 'still life' summed them up!

Sunshine Studio - Sweet Afternoon
Autumn is the time for chrysanthymums, there are many different types, these are the simple daisy type which my mother-in-law has grown  in a little raised bed.  Perfect for Above and Below photographs.

Shabby Princess - Seasonal Sampler
Not a very inspiring photograph, but this is the view from our kitchen window as we look up the farm yard and I know that  some of you have said that you are interested in seeing where I live.  The original building is the 'pig house', at one time it would have been open on the left hand side but my father-in-law converted these buildings to house calves and added the breize blocks and roof.  It is definitely not symmetrical, we no longer keep calves in these buildings they are pretty much redundant.

Bisontine - Vintage Butterflies
You can just about see the Monument on Almagill hill to the huntsman Joe Graham, it's a local landmark we can see from our home.  It's a triangular monument and I have walked up to it just once, which seems rather pathetic, but is probably pretty typical, we never visit the landmarks that are closest to us!

Yes, it's those sheep again!  Looking out over the Annan Valley, with the river winding through it's centre.

  4. Thank you. I think sometimes I take it for granted, it's easy to do that when it is all around you. So thank you for reminding me how beautiful it is where I live.
