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.

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.

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.
