I can cope with mousse......well the sweet ones anyway.
It is just blancmange in its Sunday best.

I was given 'photographers leave' today. I was going to head out on the bus....early.
But I didn't rouse from my slumbers until after 8.
I figured that anywhere worth going, would be busy today.....so I let himself go out and I stayed in to do the washing.....and mind the mutts(we are looking after daughters two JR's while she is in the IOM for a family celebration).

Google recently updated the camera app on latest versions of android of which now features the lens blur option. So I have been giving it a go.

Without trying to sound to "up myself" these pictures are around us all, and I think when you look at something and say that would make a good shot then you are looking at the scene as a photographer.

It will creep up on you, and you may not realise it has happened, until you are driving down the road with all the family in the car, and you suddenly stop, get out, and take a photo, and the family accept this as normal for you.

I have to say Dave that I am always looking out of either the car window or the bus window and spotting things I would like to snap. In the car it is possible to ask himself to stop...on the bus, less so.
I am(one day) going to go on the bus to Hoghton Tower. The place has some kind of magnetic draw for me...and I look forward to taking some sanps and puting them on here. It might have been today had I stirred my stumps!

That's the photographic mind at work, I too have a list of things to take photographs of as well, I am also easily distracted.

Any visit to anywhere is always, always prompted by what photographic opportunities there might be. I miss meals because of my desire to take pictures...pictures always come first...food is consumed only if there is time...or it is raining outside. (I should be really thin)

Great cats

... oh, and rabbit ... what names do they go by?

But the water? I'm with W.C. Fields on water: "I don't drink water; fish fornicate in it." (Or something like that

)

Other cat = Milly
Rabbit = Sally
