Winter love

Its foggy cold and wet, my only reason to move from my warm desk is the fact I have to take Kep back to the vets. Its only for a check up just to see how his pads are improving as he has been on the tablets for over a month, but we are already seeing an improvement not just in his pads but his whole attitude, its like having a young dog again, he’s even started to get into trouble, something an old respectable dog never would.
Today’s photo was a grab shot, taken while out walking just after New Year, it was a cold but bright day and as the couple neared the top of the road I notice their shadow creating a lovely composition.

That's a lovely photo. Are there any photos of your dog? What type is he? What's wrong with his pads?

Thanks for that link to your Kep, he is certainly a handsome chap. Mum's not surprised he was a difficult pup and neither am I, that type of breed normally needs about 100 hours exercise a day:) You must be fit folk!

Brett,

Thank you for your recent comment on my blog. I was thrilled as it allowed me to know your wonderful photography.

I wanted to extend the invitation to participate in my Pictures, Poetry & Prose project (http://picturespoetryprose.blogspot.com/) as I am constantly seeking beautiful, unique, special photos for the site. That is part of the joy of it, all the different voices of the writers and the unique eyes of the photographers. If you would be interested in submitting, if at any time you would like to participate with a photo or two (or more) that you believe would make a good post for a day I would be thrilled to welcome your work to the site.
I think we all can share and inspire each other in such positive ways. It is one of the joys of the Internet.

I can offer no payment, but can of course link back to your site, which I do hope as this project continues to grow would be a benefit.

There is a bit more info on this page of the site - http://picturespoetryprose.blogspot.com/2008/11/about-pictures-poetry-prose.html

If you are interested you could email me here the images for me to consider, or, as some have found easier, give me permission to peruse your site and use what strikes me from your images here.

I look forward to hearing back from you should you wish to share your amazing work on my site and inspire writing with your images. I also invite you to share your writing voice at the site by posting when ever you are moved.

Sincerely,
Laura Jayne

Brett, thank you for finding me - I love your blogs and will certainly keep up with the digital photography hints and tips - My son is really into photography, and I am keen to do much better.

Your earlier blog mentioned Compare the Meerkat - I just adore that advert, and here is my match, http://www.comparethemeerkat.com/results.html

Absolutely fabulous, I can't believe they actually created a website - Clever marketing!

All the best,

Fhina.

This is a lovely shot. I really like it. It captures so much more than an image.

Great to see everyone's so interested in Kep, and good news he's getting along well.

Maybe your next year of `blogging` should be written by Kep, or at least from his perspective - and I bet photos from his perspective of the world(but via your camera) would be very different.

Keep up the good work - I visit every day to see your latest pics and words of wisdom.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
