Door - 365+1

After a cold and misty start, the day brightened up.  My friend had brought her dog into work today, so we took him for a walk.  I took this picture of the doors of one of the buildings in the grounds where I work.

Street and Chimney - 365+1

I was really annoyed that I hadn't checked the prompt yesterday as I was in Glasgow and could easily have snapped a street scene.  There are no streets where I live (I checked the definition) we have lanes and roads, but no streets.  I was going to use an old photograph then I suddenly remembered this cookery book which is waiting to be reviewed for my other blog!

We may not have streets but we do have chimnneys, so that was an easy snap to take.

Architecture - 365+1

The Duomo in Florence, fabulous architecture.

Overgrown-Sky-Barren-Distant 365+1

This is an incredibly busy time of year for me at work which means I'm tired and not keeping up with the prompts for 365+1.  Anyway, tonight I thought I'd raid my photo archive and get caught up again.

This one really threw me, I live in a very lush, green place and there isn't much that is barren, so I've stretched the prompt, and the spelling!

Looking towards the Moffat Hills from our top field (the field with the sheep in it).

Natural Framing - 365+1

It's been another lovely day today, we had a white frost first thing, but the sun came out and it was really very warm as long as you were in the sun.  I used one of the field gates as my natural frame.

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.

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.

Wall - 365+1

I know this does not look like a wall, but there was an old wall there and it started to disintegrate and bits fell into our road.  So my husband and the chap who has the little garden behind the wall, have spent the last couple of weekends taking down the wall and putting up a ranch style fence in its place.  This was take one on the fence, as they decided in the end to take away more of the wall and rubbish that had accumulated.  Looking down the road, you can just see the end wall of our house.
