Hurridly took this this evening, first of all I had the plants silhouetted and then I had a go with the flash. Prefered this so this is what you've got. Never had the proper flash on - no time to look it out. Would like to try this again though with the 580 and bouncing it off the wall that is behind me.

All in all, crap day and crap shot, but hey at least it's a shot ;)

029 The Vain One

Well, this weeks food theme has gone by the board a bit, far too busy, feeding, playing smooching and mopping to bake the cake I had planned for today

So, I ordered the girly out in the garden to take advantage of the lovely sunshine and lack of wind Natural light and a reflector.

I wasn't allowed to take a full body shot as she had her slippers on -  flipping kids.

So, I decided that this week was going to be food related and in preparation made this for lunch, truly delicious and made a nice colouful picture.

But, on the way to pick the girls up from the school bus, I spied a puppy at the side of the road. So, on the way back I told the girlies. Natalie didn't even wait for the car to stop, she was out the door and picking him up.

He's currently asleep on an old beach towel in the kitchen. If his paws are anything to go by he's going to be a big one and I'd put his age at about 6 weeks. He was Leo, but now they seem to have settled on calling him Simba.

027 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Popped up to the market this morning with the girlies, nothing like an easy lunch :) I meant to do a bit of street photography, but we were in too much of a rush.

I think that food might just be my subject for this week, what with the eggs from yesterday and now the chicken.

026 Couldn't Resist ;)

I know it's probably a bit early, but as I couldn't resist buying these whilst I was in the UK over Christmas. Stereo nagging to open them has meant they were photo'd a lot quicker than I intended.

025 What more blossom

Right, here's my effort for today, couldn't resist the lure of the blossom again. It's just so pretty and I'm very surprised that it survived the recent high winds.

I'm sure this won't be the last you see of the almond trees either.

024 Trying for soft

So, subject is a little suspect, but I was trying to acheive a soft sort of processing. Don't think I'm quite there yet, so will keep at it.

First attempt was far worse, so I remove the blur layer and got the above.
