Holy 'ole Dinah, there's under a month left. I can scarce believe it. For the upcoming week, I'm gonna try for processed cheese.

Colour! Caterpillars! Freaky cats!

The natural heart made by their arms broke my heart clean in two.

And with that my cab arrives in 5 hours to take me to the airport. I need sleep. Not sure what the prompt should be but I know that I'll be on the road.

If it's not birds, it's bees

The prompt was "novelty" but there's really nothing new here. There is a healthy dose of purty, though.

My good friend Stephen sent me an email the other day that used the expression "good colour sense." It's something I need to work on or at least think about a lot more so that's what the prompt will be this week: good colour sense.

Fluff and nonsense

It is so hard to find time these days: time to seek out new subject matter and/or new ways of using the camera. It feels as if I have snapped the walk to work, the kid, the husband, the garden... ad nauseum. The last 50 days of this project may well kill me if I can't wrestle time away from somewhere. It's hard to know what to set the prompt to because of this. I'll try for novelty but, really, I can't make any promises.
