Reflect This , Dark and Handsome

Thirsday today. It's supposed to be blogless,
but I've never been able to manage that up till now!
Although I've got to admit that I'm not going to spend
too much time on the Internet today, uh-uh!

You see, I've met this exciting new friend.
He's dark and he's very very handsome.
I'm madly in love with him,
and I want to show him every little corner of my world.
I never want to live without him anymore,
everywhere I go, he'll be with me.
And I've got this irrepressible desire to push his buttons,
find his soft spots, and get to know him inside and out ...
I want us to hunt dragons, birds and flowers together.
Explore the world and capture it's beauty ...
Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?


So here he is, Mr Wonderguy.
Isn't he handsome?

And do any of you know how hard it was to take this picture?
I must have made a hundred of them before I finally got it right!
(well okay, it's still not right, it most certainly is not perfection
but it will have to to for now!)

So this is my reflection of the day for Quilly,
I'll be going out on a photohunt with this exciting new companion ...

Meet the other players of this photo challenge at Quilly's.

Wordless Wednesday London

I'm supposed to be wordless, but you're not.
Would anyone care to caption this one for me please?


Visit the other Wordless Wednesday players here.

Oh but please don't leave just yet!
There is another fun challenge going on at Quilly's!
It's called Reflect This and it's all about reflections.
And this is really up my alley!
So without further adue ... here's mine!


For more reflections, visit Quilly and meet the other players there.

Ruby Tuesday Reflect this ... Ruby London

Tuesday means Ruby Tuesday of course,
and I went to London this weekend to hunt for ruby pictures.
Now if I mention London and ruby you'll probably think
" oh yes, telephone booths and doubledeck busses!"
You're so right, but that is so predictable.
I don't do "predictable", I prefer "different".
Hey, at least I think this is what you expect from me?


The first two pictures are from Camden Market.

This commemorates war victims from the first and the second World War.
I found them in Hyde Park.

Some of you already know how much I like reflections,
and this is my favourite one, taken on our first day in London;
at Borough Market. It's a restaurant called Black and Blue ...


So here they are, my very first pictures from my trip to London ...
If you want to see more Ruby pictures,
visit Mary the teach, at Work of the Poet.

I had already posted these when I visited Quilly
and found out she's doing a reflections photo challenge.
Honest, I had no idea, but since three out of four are reflections,
it looks like I'm multitasking again!

I love it!
So visit Quilly for more reflections, okay?

Fun Monday Any more Questions?

Lisa, over at Lisa's Chaos is this weeks host for Fun Monday.
This is what she wants to know ...

What is one thing you would like to ask your readers? Come up with a question to pose to your visitors and throw it out there on Monday. As we’re all visiting each other’s Fun Monday posts we should answer the various questions we come across.
OR
Show&Tell me about a bird, I’m easily made happy.

Okay then, I'll show the bird first ...
Eww, does that sound funny? Sorry!

The birds in this slideshow are the parents
of the little birds on the right hand sidebar of this blog.

And this one could be one of the little ones from last year
feeding his or her own babies this past spring. That's how it goes ...

Click on the picture for full size viewing.




Now for the question, the question burning on my lips is:
What object would you take with you
if you could take only one thing with you
on an imaginary journey?
You don't have to worry about food or anyhing, all is taken care of.
Just imagine ...

Sky Watch Friday Thunder Storm

We had a pretty severe thunderstorm here this week ...


Before the thunderstorm ...
You can see how heavy the wind was blowing if you look at the trees!

And when it stopped raining ten minutes later or so,
I saw this stunning orange and silver sunset ...

Again maybe half an hour later, the grand finale ...
All of these in the course of an hour!


I'm not in the country at the moment,
so I won't be able to join Sky Watch Friday for real,
but I still wanted to post these anyway.
We don't get skies like this much around here,
so I was thrilled to be able to capture these.
