Time for a face mask

There comes a point when you have to take a stand against the explosion of horridness on your chin and blast it away with some good old blue corn scrub … and since this last 30 Tiny Moments shot includes me, I shall take this opportunity to say that the 7 Days self-portrait project will [...]

So Lori got all demanding and wanted a neckwarmer in olive. I found some yarn, bought it and then gained a few grey hairs trying to represent the colour for her approval.

Maybe if I play with matches they’ll come back

One moment for which the camera was not at hand: seeing a pretty little goldcrest bobbing about in the tree.

Apparently doing 30 Tiny Moments makes it snow

We awoke to snow on the ground and falling from the sky this morning. It didn’t stick around long and it’s been a day of mad weather: cold, snowy, dry, blue skies, pouring rain. No need to fight, weather gods: everybody gets their turn.
