Well, considering I wasn’t too bothered about a new cat, not yet anyway, I have been knocked sideways by this little bundle. Here she is (no we still are not sure, but I seem to feel she is a she) on our previous, much missed cat’s chair, quite bold now, though a little out of focus!
and five minutes later asleep
Life’s been fun and busy. Meals out, meeting friends, taking Techie out. On Saturday we went on a trip.
Where was I?
Not a rant: a sunset last week: or don’t sweat the small stuff, just look around.
I’m ignoring the dust, (decorators don’t work at the weekend), the economy and looking forward to Christmas. Well, sort of!
The roof of my car was covered in Jack Frost this morning
The morning light yesterday on the last day of November was like Turkish delight over the fields at the back of our house while the gardens were still in shadows. The horse (not mine!) knew where to stand to catch the early rays between the roof top shadows.
After my stunning, but totally fortuitous, triumph in the previous Photographic Competition, I believe it behoves me to suggest a theme for the next one and pronounce judgement upon everyone’s efforts.
In order to allow the next competition setter (mug) to organise a Chrimbo theme, if they so wish, I propose that the deadline is Wednesday 21st December.
Since it has long been an interest of mine, I suggest the theme of “Flight”. Any variation on the theme will do, planes, balloons, airships, birds, insects, kites, old, new, you name it, as long as it is capable of getting into the air.
Just to get the ball rolling, but doubly disqualified because it is (a) displayed by me and (b) because it is not mine, here is a new aircraft under development.
So, come on chaps and chappesses. Get clicking or rummaging through the archives!

A trip into Oxford today and I saw something I had never noticed before. The light was lovely and I wasn’t inclined to shop, so wandered down The Broad with my camera.
What’s that on top of the building as a weather vane?
The light this morning when I got up was soft, burning through a light mist and so beautiful on the Autumnal landscape. After a lazy start we went for a walk in woodlands and parklands near by.

Just outside the window a neglected planter stands with euphorbia weed, thin leaflets of crocosmia and a small self seeded Aquilegia – all fresh growth as if it is Spring, not Autumn. It has been raining, then there was a brief splash of sunshine and each water droplet became a mirrored bead on the Aquilegia. Underneath the leaf a tiny tear drop.
Potential perspective photographs have been presenting themselves to me, or literally pouncing out at me ever since I set the challenge.
I took this one in Weston-Super-Mud, for example!
