Just .........

 ....... a frosty leaf on the frozen front grass.

Very, VERY cold this morning with a frost that looks more like snow.
This leaf was actually at the back of the house (out of the sun) but I moved it to get some light on it - I think it looks quite pretty - and I also like the one blade of grass poking his head up hopefully.
(Taken with my 70-300 lens - handheld f/14 at 230mm & ISO 200) - I enjoy trying to get these shots with the bigger lens)

Thank you for all your comments on my MM Challenge shot yesterday - no-one got even close ........ it's actually a close up of the top of some of the handles of a large set of knives that Himself bought me for Christmas - I love cooking and I love kitchen gadgets so far more excited about stuff like this than perfume or clothes ....


Got some new painkillers for Mum yesterday after a drive up to her doctors surgery (80 mile round trip) - early days yet but she managed to get down the stairs today (and then rewarded herself with a cigarette by the back door - bad Mummy!!!  lol) ...... we'll see how it goes from here.

We have a strange sense of humour in our house - I reminded Mum of the advert on TV -

 " a dog is for life, not just for Christmas "

 telling her that, this year,

 " a visit by Mum is just for Christmas and not for life "

 .......... sorry if that offends anyone but we all thought it was funny (Mum included)!!!

Thank you from her and thank you from me for all the well wishes.

Thought for the Day

Who do you want to talk to?  
The man in charge or the woman who knows what's going on??
