Weekly Thursday Challenge: Windows

London
My very first time
and I loved it.
I love architecture and was thrilled
with the ancient alongside the new here.
These are some new!

Buildings with no walls,
JUST WINDOWS!

This is nicknamed The Leaning Tower of Pizzas

The same building, from the Thames

The Shard

The Shard again

The Gherkin

Aren’t they fun?

Weekly Photo Challenge Thursdays: Windows

I have just been to England on holiday

Weekly Photo Challenge: Growth

 

Yucky. That’s what my Grandie calls these growths.
Doctor calls them ganglions.
They attach to the tendon which gets excited and balloons up.
Often an old injury, yeah,
like 5 years ago in my tangle with a motorbike.
They are not so attractive,
Hurt too,
They’ve snagged the nerve,
and wrapped and squeezed it good and solid;
So I have two and a half dead fingers too.
Tuesday afternoon I’m having them removed!
No more Yucky!
Thank goodness!

The Weekly Photo Challenge: Friendship

Weekly Photo Challenge

Some of the sweetest friendships to witness
are between the very old and very young;
between different species;
between different walks of life;
where chasms once yawned.

This is a friendship between a young dog,
a sweet little female who was the runt of the litter,
I had to put her on mom’s teat when the others were not around, or full.
She slept with me a few nights just after birth as she was so weak.
A sweet-natured, loving, caring, motherly little doggie.

She adopted both of these other animals when they were tiny orphans
and brought to me to raise.
She attended to their grooming, both for cleanliness and bonding.
She took care of toilet duties,
many baby animals need a warm, wet tongue to move things along.
She cuddled and played and reprimanded and loved.
My sweet Munchkin,
Little feral kitten, Minx,
A baby Duiker, Zakumi.

Munchkin grooming Minx

Munchkin kissing Zakumi

Minx and Zakumi adventuring together

Munchkin, Minx and Zakumi off into the world

A dog. a cat and a duiker
unlikely, but firm friends.
I think there is a lesson here.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands

baby hands are so beautiful
so full of promise
so innocent and teachable
This is Big G

these baby hands

will learn so much

Gentleness
from a gosling

compassion
from a baby pigeon
fallen from the roof
whilst learning to fly

curiosity
from a rescued kitten

animal husbandry
from an orphaned lamb

gentling
the horses

Helping
others

 

Dad will teach me
to change a tyre

the sweetness of life
from baking yummies

Many things
through others eyes

The world is in your hands

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blue

Ah, It has been thrown down!

The Weekly Challenge: Blue

We have had a few Great Danes
We were complete and fully owned by them
This little girl was born the day before Hubby’s birthday
His 50th Birthday Present
She was the most amazing girl in the world

Hayley was a Blue Dane
Her colour a gorgeous dark grey
she had blue eyes as a baby
they turned a greeny colour as she grew up

Hayley-Bayley was beautiful
inside and out
she believed her place was between us and everything else
She pretended she was a lap-dog
and disdainfully ignored our laughs

She ran
Great, galumphing glory-bounds of joy
She adored following hubby around the farm
Ears and tongue flying as she zoomed around
I think she thought she was a Cheetah!

She had a wonderful, dignified, gentleness
She adopted Marge as her own
who arrived as a little things of about 3 months old
They adored one another

She loved her food
Waiting patiently in a sit pose
until she was told to eat
We gave her the very best in Dog Dining
The Vet assured us that she was perfectly healthy
despite her boniness

It was all the running

She left us far too quickly
We had a horribly mutant form of Biliary here
Many beautiful dogs died, despite all precautions
it was devastating

Hayley, you’ll always be in our hearts
precious Hayley-Baby

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Unofficial) Reflections

Since we haven’t had a challenge officially;
I am responding to this unofficial challenge,
set by Ailsa at Where’s my backpack?!

http://wheresmybackpack.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/reflections/

This was an intentional shot

This one just appeared on my camera!

The photos were taken in Cape Town,
from across the bay
in Bloubergstrand.
It means Blue Mountain Beach.
This is my favourite city!

and this is Big G

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused

I usually delete my blurred, silly photos. These I had to keep. It was the day my son’s first child was born. I handed the camera to someone to take photos while we came in for a hug, cry, laugh and celebration. They were all terrible! But they were all I had, so I fiddled and played and made a Scrapbook page called “It’s all a Blur”. Fitting.

This weeks challenge is very different. I love it, some of the photos have been incredible!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Together

The Weekly Photo Challenge evokes all sorts of images in my mind.
It’s such a wide category!

This is a drawing I did in 1995,
I am passionate about Baby Elephants!

Together. This should be a simple challenge for most of you – find a picture of people or things which are together in your picture.

Share a picture that means TOGETHER to you!

This week’s challenge had me for a bit,
but then I knew exactly which photo to post.
