Come Fly with me....

So i've been watching Springwatch on the BBC over the last couple of weeks and loving the great footage of the Ospreys (not my picture by the way!!) in particular - they are so majestic! So using my usual rambling logic (or lack thereof!) i got to thinking about flying in general... i figured that the nearest flying thing to a Newfie must be a fruitbat (or maybe a Reindeer!!) so using the logic that a fruitbat is about 1kg and has a wingspan of about 150cm, that means to get a Newfie in the air they'd need a wingspan of 96metres!!!! I think they might have more luck with the Reindeer method... magic is their only hope!

Charge!

I'm sure that photographing a Newfie is great practice for scarier species. It's funny how when you're looking through a viewfinder that's the moment that they like to run at you! Minor splashing is an occupational hazard which you get good at avoiding! I must be extra brave (mad?) because i was also ankle deep standing on the slippery pond floor so falling flat on my bum, camera in hand is a distinct possibility!! It must be years of practice of keeping my foooting in wet conditions - maybe it's just a good job I use my backup body around water, but so far (touch wood) i've been very lucky!

Some to share!

A few pages to share today...

The last of these is over on Scrapping Frenzy today.... why not pop along and share your extra vibrant pages!

Sneak Peak!

Well here it is! The cover of the exciting launch issue of Creativity Life magazine which is in stores on July 1st! it's looking gorgeous in the proofs, but I can't wait to see the real thing!

It's poured all day today, but after work the sun miraculously came out just long enough to take the troll for a bit of a swim. The best thing about the rain (unless you're a newfy, in which case the best thing is the opportunity of prime wading real-estate) is that all the greenery looks so vibrant and..... green! Gorgeous!

Livin in the 80's!

A tired and happy Lola after her swim.... Love her crimpy 80's throwback bib!

Watery...

I love attempting to capture a really excellent shot of Martha shaking... I think the second of these is my favourite but its still not quite perfect! Ah well... try and try again!





I'm loving watching Springwatch on the BBC at the moment, and here's my own little spring life picture to join in with the baby bird theme! Love these little Canada Geese goslings! Had a minor moment of panic today as I came home to a pair of ducks sitting in the front garden, the girl duck settled down amoung some twigs! For a brief moment I was sure they had made a nest there - not ideal with Newfs roaming about as you can imagine, but it seemed (thankfully) that they were just visisting!

Just finished watching the last episodes of the current season of Lost... I can't say much at the risk of spoilers but i think OMG pretty much sums it up!!!

Birdy!

Love this little October Afternoon soft charm.... such a cute little thing! This is another page using the Summer Survival Kit from Homegrown Scrapbooks... love that it's so versatile.
