Cold and Shiny - 365+1

DSD by Athena - Late Harvest, Connie Prince - Spring is my thing
The sun came out briefly this afternoon and I popped out at lunchtime to have a walk around the grounds where I work.  There is a little rockery garden with a pond.  Despite the brief respite from the rain and a little glimpse of sunshine the water was still COLD and when the light hit it, definitely SHINY.  So two days in one here.

Dangerous - 365+1

Connie Prince - Spring is my Thing
No, I haven't been driving a racing car today!  I snapped this picture off the telly - hee hee.  I had just checked the prompt for today when a trailer for the Grand Prix came on TV.  I know F1 is incredibly popular but I just don't get it!  Mind you I am not a fan of sport generally, so not a good judge between one and another.  Not so many drivers are killed now as they were in the 1960's and 70's when I was growing up, but it is still a very dangerous sport.

In the distance - 365+1

It wasn't the best of days for seeing things in the distance, it was a bit misty.  I got my telephoto lens onto the camera so I could see further away and pointed it at a local landmark 'The Queensbury'.  It's a hill in the Moffat Hills and usually the first one to have snow on it.  You can just about make it out in the distance.

Future - 365+1

Julie Marie - Bailey,  MandyMade - cardstock, Connie Prince - Spring is my thing, Sketch inspiration - Morag Cutts, Scrap 365, May 2012
I was struggling to think what to have for the prompt 'future'.  In the end I took a photo of the river cruise we have booked in the south of France for next year - in the future!

Tree - 365+1

Connie Prince - Spring is my Thing
I took this photograph on Saturday night when we had this amazing rainbow.  I wanted to scrap it so have used the 'tree' prompt...well there is a tree in it!  It's strange but I didn't use the tree prompt last time either, although I am surrounded by them!

Double 365+1 Catch Up

Thalaris - the power of flowers
Thursday's prompt was 'Grass', we have vast expanses of grass where I live and also at the place where I work most often.  I know I am very lucky to have such a great place to live.

Connie Prince - Spring is my Thing
Today's prompt is 'Comfort', I went out with the camera to catch a few signs of Spring.  It finally felt like it was on it's way today, although we are forecast a colder spell by Sunday this week.

365+1 - Kitchen Utensil

Studio Sherrie JD - Kitschy Kitchen, Connie Prince - Spring is my Thing
I've no idea how old this spoon must be, I've had it for 27 years and it looked just the same then, so I can only imagine it is about 50 or 60 years old at least!

365+1 - Snack

Gingerscraps: Scrap Your Life, Connie Prince-Spring is my Thing

Despite the fact that I often show you calorific cakes and desserts, during the week I always snack on fruit - honest!
