I made a request to Patti for an easy one since I would be without my camera until early evening,so she gave us:

"Water"

So once Stuart was home I went out into the garden thinking I might have to do some watering to get anything but there was still leftovers from the rain on my sweet pea leaves......


One big blob of water !

Today's challenge from Julie changed after it looked like not being the weather for it,so she suggested:

"Curve"

I had a quick wonder around the garden but didn't spot anything, unlike Patti and then as I came back in the kitchen door I spied this....


My kitchen tap,the one I hunted high and low for with our kitchen reno !

Yesterday my challenge to Patti and Julie was :

"White"

Well I nearly failed at my own challenge.
With mum here I had no chance to get outside before the rain started,we were out a good chunk of the day and then I nearly forgot to take something at all !
So last minute in the pouring rain I ran outside saw my first peony open,even if it was looking sorry for it's self head down from all the rain,I took 3 shots and hoped for the best.It's a little over exposed on the top but oh well !

Not really what I wanted but it's white....

Back for a second time today !

So Patti challenged us today to photograph:

"A row of similar colourful things"

I was stumped for a while,as I've had so much to do today and not a lot of thinking time.I tried books on the bookshelf,Oliver's toys on his shelf but nothing excited me.
Then I was tiding up my scrap space and it hit me......


My boxes of buttons,more than one row I'm afraid Patti but they are just so pretty looking all those rows of buttons!!
Can't wait to see what Julie had in mind,if she can remember where she saw it !

A little late with this one,Julie's challenge yesterday was:

"Food"

Well,we all met up for a little scrapbook shopping and lunch.Which meant our sushi arrived and we all got out our cameras !! So not to be left since Patti and Julie showed their lunch,I have to show my lunchtime shot too....


Then because I thought we would all end up with a sushi shot I took a picture of the frittata I main for dinner,fresh out from under the grill(broiler).....


Now I need to get thinking about todays.........

My challenge to Patti and Julie today was:

"A self portrait"

I told them they were allowed to change it to black and white if they wanted because,well sometimes we look better in black and white :)

I hate having my picture taken and I thought setting this challenge would be a good thing to try and do but it didn't work out like that!
I couldn't find the tripod,so that ruled out one thing I wanted to try.
My arms aren't long enough to hold it out in front of me !
Then we had a huge thunderstorm which meant it was dark as hell for a few hours.
So I ended up using the mirror and liked this one the best.I found it hard to actually get the focus on me and not the camera,with not using the view finder,so I ended up with plenty of blurry ones......


I much prefer being behind the camera so decided this was most fitting for my self portrait :)

Patti's challenge today was:

"A night shot with moving lights"

Mmmm,I knew I wouldn't be anywhere in a car in the evening and I have nothing with lighting that moves in the garden(Stuart suggested the fire flies.....but since it was raining last night I didn't think that would be very successful and the fact I'd be eaten alive by mosquitoes !!)

So I ended up with this,only one light but it is moving..........


A candle,moving from the draft of the open door !
