Life with 4 cats

OCA

2011-01-31T16:28:00.000Z

Working hard on the first of the university areas 'The Art of Photography' - have managed a fair amount of reading and the first project. It's going to be hard work - but is also fascinating. I am struggling somewhat with the concepts of 'ART' photography as much of it seems the total opposite to me.

I am not going to duplicate posts - but here's the link

Inspirations week 4

2011-01-31T16:25:00.000Z

More of the weekly 'challenges' to be inspired

a very colourful week!

52 Inspirations - week 3

2011-01-17T20:56:00.000Z

we managed an evening walk down along the path at Limekilns, it was a very short walk as the wind was biting and the sun rapidly going down - but it was lovely to get outside after all the snow

these were 2 of only about 4 decent photos of the evening - partly because my eyes wre waterring so much in the wind that everything was blured

Still Snowing

2011-01-11T20:32:00.000Z

This picture was altered using fractalius and made into a dirthday card for my beloved husband.

Still snowing. We went on a walk along our local farm fields - I have taken mnay versions of these photos over the years but these are probably the most interesting

52 Inspirations 2011 (week 1) - more!

2011-01-03T15:24:00.000Z

this is the cover for my album

and the youngest has already started to plague me for more things, I've pointed out that that is what pocket money is for (with little success) . This time I will hold firm! She can't have watched, listened to or read everything yet - can she?

52 Inspirations 2011 (week 1)

2011-01-02T21:19:00.000Z

Looking forward to spring

the weather outside today (cold, dank and drear) - typical Scotland

and last but not least, my wish for all this New Year
all from 52 inspirations by Vicki Stegall and Sue Cummings @ Oscraps.

I plan to do a weeky LO using this kit, sometimes it might be more, trying to track what is happening in the year

Winter - bleak outside

2010-12-31T15:35:00.000Z

winter - deep and snowy - still some snow outside but much less pretty now, and involving a large clear up exersise

Out of Action

2010-10-03T17:40:00.002+01:00

For various reasons I have not been updating recently but there are a few important things happening now.

First:
thanks to Heather T. for having me as a guest on her team over the last 2 months. It was brilliant fun and she has some fab kits available at Memory Scraps and The Digichick.

Next there has been the ongoing 52 Inspiration work (!) - which is always fun

and 'real' work has been incredibly busy.
On top of everything I have decided to do an Open University course on digital photography, I must have gone completely mad.

the last 3 were from my daughter's 15th birthday, extremely grown up - at least until it came to the cake and the candles, actually it was a birthday scone (!) as she does not really like cake (can you imagine - a child who does not like cake).

52 Inspirations

2010-08-10T20:39:00.000+01:00

as an ongoing project I am working on the 52 Inspirations minikits, I haven't posted much from them for some reason - but they are really useful and easy to use - so here are some pictures from our recent travels

The Simple Woman's Daybook

2010-08-03T17:13:00.016+01:00

FOR TODAY
Outside my window... the sun keeps going in and out, we have new neighbours who are moving in today so I hope it doesn't rain
I am thinking...that we had a fabulous holiday recently, and it reminded me how beautiful Scotland can be
From the kitchen... tonights tea will be very simple - thin slices of beef quick-fryed, withsalad and rolls
I am wearing...a scruffy T, and Indian/gypsy style multicoloured patch trousers, very comfortable
I am creating...a scrapbook for my daughters best friend, of all their graduation photos, its a challenge doing something for a man, blues and browns seem to be the theme
I am going...to my brother-in-laws birthday party at the weekend. That will be a get together of everyone from 20 - 30 years ago, a real blast from the past, and a fab photo op.
I am reading...a lot about black and white photography. Weston's stuff is absolutely fabulous and I just wish I could produce anything as good.
I am hoping...that my eldest daughter who is away is having a great time, no texts, no e-mails - probably a good sign
I am hearing...a new album called Red Horse by 2 of my favourite singers, Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson.
Around the house...all is chaos, a new bathroom is being fitted and the plumbing is not going well, one of the problems of an old house.
One of my favorite things...are my Charlie bears that my children give me

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

More Catching Up

2010-08-03T15:10:00.000+01:00

I am still working on a huge backlog - these are just a few of the possibilities from the Dumfries area

this is in the forest - mid Dumfriesshire
http://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=173514&title=summer-magic&cat=all

this is looking over the Solway Firth
http://www.mscraps.com/galleri/showphoto.php?photo=8104&title=wishes&cat=all

and this is the view we got everyday when we walked up the hill frrom our lodge to the hotel for meals
We spent most of the time staying in the lodge house of a small hotel near Dumfries called Cavens. The welcome was warm, the food magic and the views wonderful.We will go back.

Really behind!!!

2010-08-02T17:12:00.001+01:00

well, I am so behind with everything because:

1. My daughters graduation (with a 1st) - I am so proud

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1092936&title=celebrate&cat=all

2. My husbands graduation - a very brave step into a completely new career

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1092954&title=follow-your-dreams&cat=all

all these events included lots of family occasions, meals out and of course photo ops, when the family were not allows to say 'No' to Mum waving the dreaded camera

and

3. going on holiday - we went on an 'Abbey Tour' of the south of Scotland - both east and west and I came back with over 1000 (yes that's right- a thousand) photos - which have taken forever to download and start looking at

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1093493&title=once-upon-a-time&cat=alland

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1093505&title=composure&cat=all

5. and although the weather has been typically Scottish, dreach and dreer - (that's wet and grey for those from south of the border or far away) - we have even managed to go for some walks

http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1092833&title=beautiful&cat=all

and

http://www.mscraps.com/galleri/showphoto.php?photo=8056&title=brief-undisturbed-moments&cat=all

and have the occasional 'undisturbed moment' in which to dream

http://www.mscraps.com/galleri/showphoto.php?photo=8035&title=dream4&cat=all

live in the moment

and reach out to others

Oh and I also had to go back to work so dreams are crucial

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... it is sunny, earlier it was very humid but its now a lovely evening. Possibly I might go for a walk in a bit to see if the deer at the end of the street is around.
I am thinking... that flowers are magic, someof the colours I saw today are so brilliant that they might be painted
I am thankful for... an evening on my own, everybody else is out and I can do and eat what I want
From the kitchen... supper tonight was Chinnese noodle soup with dum sum, followed by ice cream with chocolate sauce, OK a really weird mixture
I am wearing... tatty jeans and a Pink Floyd T (again), but I have got my outfit for the graduation do. A cream trouser suit with a red top and shoes etc. Very smart
I am creating... mostly playing with flowers as usual.
I am reading... lots of photography mags - trying to improve my b/w skills, also just finished the latest Karen Rose - I Can See You - very scary in places, first of hers I've tryed
I am hoping... that next week will go well, 2 graduations, 1 champagne reception, 2 meals out and lots of partying.

I am hearing... absolute silence - this is bliss
One of my favorite things... is my camera, a girls best toy!
A few plans for the rest of the week: as noted above - lots of celebrations
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

It's Saturday

2010-06-19T17:43:00.000+01:00

My DH has been at work and I've taken a teenager shopping! I definitely needed relaxation when I got home, so played with some unused photos

The Simple Woman's Daybook

2010-06-12T20:38:00.001+01:00

with thanks to:
http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/

Outside my window... the weather is gray - but the cat is still sitting on the wall, staring into space , I think she's defending her territory against the neighbours cat again.

I am thinking... that Arbroath Smokies are wonderful (we had them fresh smoked off the market stall for lunch). They are a local treat, and fab to eat in the park on the way home

I am thankful for... having fun with the kids, singing in the car at top volume, listening to Lucy Kaplansky and joining in
From the learning rooms... working hard on black and white photography, especially on getting good prints, different papers make an enormous change, planning to try out some more

From the kitchen...pasta with tomato and cheese sauce (a staple of our diet)

I am wearing... a Grateful Dead T

I am creating... a series of photos of my family to frame, very difficult as they all don't like having pictures taken

I am going... to both my DH's and my DD's graduation ceremonies in 2 weeks
I am reading... Corduroy Mansions by Alexander McCall Smith
I am hoping... for a sunny day tomorrow to go for a walk

I am hearing... my daughter singing in the kitchen (she has a lovely voice)

One of my favourite things... is walking in our local park and talking photos

A few plans for the rest of the week: work, sleep, and work again, a necessary evil in life

Here is picture of the making of Arbroath Smokies

Textured Flowers

an obsession of mine, playing around with flowers, I love these but my other half hates them - so a dark to light theme seemed right to me.

Colours in the Glen

Dumfries

2010-06-12T19:01:00.000+01:00

We spent 3 days near Dumfries recently, staying in Cavens House Hotel Lodge. It was fabulous, the weather was good-ish, (only rained on the way home), the food marvellous, simple cooking with excellent ingredients, and so much to do and see .that we didn't get around it all. In fact, we had so much fun that we are going back in the summer. I only(!) took 700 photos - of which thwe ones below are a small sample.

A week in the Street

2010-04-29T20:30:00.001+01:00

well - our street, that is, not Coronation Street or any of the others that are seen on TV. This was done for part of the 52 weeks Inspiration on Oscraps.

It proved to be fun to gathere a collection of pictures of the end of the street - amazing how dramatic the sky has been, (and the only really dull day made a good textured photo!).

Giveaway!!

Stormy Weather (and sunny too)

2010-04-04T13:04:00.001+01:00

its been very strange here - varies between blizzards and brilliant sun. I've spent some time in the park taking photos - but more time inside!
Yesterday it looked as though it might be nice - so went to the beach - but the weather promptly went gray. The only pics were texture shots - although I did like this one

for credits see:

We also went to Blackness Castle - the wind was bitter, so glad for a combat jacket (even if not very stylish), the view of the hills in the north was superb

and fun was had in taking very detailed shots

Coastal walks

2010-03-27T21:52:00.001Z

Continuing on our path to walk the coast of Fife we have spent some time around Wemyss and Anstruther. Needless to say - we did not miss out on the chance to eat at the famous fish and chip shop there. We also explored some of the local cemeteries and the 'Secret Bunker'

Art Galleries

2010-03-27T21:50:00.003Z

When in Edinburgh we visited the Dean Gallery and the Modern Art Gallery. The Dean was showing a photographic exhibition that we both found quite disturbing by an American photographer Diane Arbus. Most of her photos were about life in all its despair, including a series taken at a hospital for learning disabled people in 1970.
The Modern Art Gallery had a new showing of works of portaiture and the human body which I found much more appealing.
After this we spent time wandering around the Dean Cemetary - a resting place for the great and good of Edinburgh

The weather has been remarkably obliging recently - so I have managed to go on several photographic expeditions, the main one was to the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens. They have a new restaurant - food excellent, and we spent the whole day ther, nearly getting a parking ticket as we totally forgot the time!

Coastal Walks

2010-03-18T17:06:00.000Z

The other day I had an afternoon off and it was sunny (!) so we decided to go to Ravenscraig castle to explore, the idea was to take pictures, and I did do some of that - but mostly we mucked around

J and N built cairns while I tryed to take pictures of the birds - they were definitely more successful than me

OK - do these stairs look safe - no they don't, but my child decided he could climb them

We managed to grab 2 hours of sunny weather when we were both at home and went for a walk along the coast to this ruined chapel

More from Creiff

2010-02-13T20:46:00.001Z

One of the outings we had was to go to the 'Famous Grouse' - but we didn't actually go inside the distillery, instead we went on up a very narrow track to the Glen Turret Reservour - which was mostly frozen over. It was bitterly cold - but bleak and beautiful.
