Three days of 365+1

Tree 101212

I never did choose one tree, and just now it is dark when I leave in the morning and dark when I get home, so here is the 'Pinus Mugo' in our garden taken a couple of weeks ago.

Look Up 111212

Another photo from the same day,  looking up at the ivy on the ruin at the top of our road, I love the seed heads that form on mature ivy even though it is a destructive plant.

Obligation is a difficult prompt, so I looked up the definitions and found this one.  Marriage is a legal contract and so must be an obligation, that seems a dull and tedious word and does not feel like an obligation at all.  We have been married for over 30 years and it feels just like yesterday that we met and fell in love.

I've used the same papers for all the layouts for the last three days, the colours worked iwth all the photographs.

Tree - 365+1

Le Bal de Sorcieres - PtiteSouris Design

I didn't do the first tree prompts, but I took this photograph last weekend when I woke early and foudn that my husband had been out even earlier clearing up branches and setting a bonfire.  The sun was just rising over the top of our field and created some great silhouettes with the old ruined house, the tree and the plants.  This digital kit was perfect to set it off, especially the paper with the streaming light.

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!

Just Bex Challenge

Over at the Just Bex Forum, they are having a BIG CHALLENGE weekend. Well it's Sunday night and, although you can post your stuff all week, I am feeling a bit guilty for not joining in after all the effort the girls have gone to to set these challenges. So I've had a go at the LO challenge - digifiied it and it will double up for my Tree Journal.

Snow

I've posted these snow pictures in chronological order. When I got up this morning it was white everywhere, I took the picture of 'the tree' at about 8am when it was barely light, so it's not a great picture, but I wanted to get it with the snow.

By the time I crawled along the roads to work it was 8.50 when I arrived and I caught this lovely sunrise over the snowy bushes. Yes, this is where I work - I am not a parkie, but work at what used to be a Victorian lunatic asylum (no jokes please, I've heard them all) then psychiatric hospital but with care in the community the buildings were not being used, so they were refurbished and house a variety of different organisations. However, all this means that we are in beautiful sandstone buildings set in glorious tree-filled parkland, very suitable for dog walking!

William loves the snow and was rolling in it later. The stuff here was a bit wet as it was on the playing fields and lots of people had been out with dogs earlier and been rolling big snow balls too. He was running about but also posed for me - he does love lots of attention and knows that I have treats for him in my pocket.

This one is especially for Maisy!
