Well it's a Friday night, my favourite guy isn't due, and I am all alone. That's a song if you didn't know it. 👩 Today I got the bus into town, and walked back. I called in at the Arts centre to say hello to Nicky. She said she would come and visit me sometime over the Christmas break, but she didn't make it. It turns out that she caught that nasty virus bug thing that was going around. Sounds like the same one that my Auntie caught, which put a stop to my planned visit there.
I took this quick snap of the church tower, looking out through the window. Tried to get it square within the window frame. The angle is not quite right. I was only going to say a quick hello, but the chat lasted a bit longer than I anticipated. I ended the walk back in the dark again.
Passing the pond. The locals call it the Blue Lagoon. There is a path all the way around it, and some benches to sit down. I sit on the last bench for ten minutes because from there on there is nowhere else to sit until I get back to the village. The bench is quite high up so I am looking down on the pond. The sun going down created the reflection of the building in the water. I ate my snack and looked for something else to take a picture of. Once again looking down at the water, you can see the ripples, and the reflection of the clouds.
This one is a trick photograph because I have rotated it, now it is upside down. It is not the sky, it's the pond. The speck in the water is a duck. The duck came closer so I quickly snapped it before it disappeared into the grasses. Still sat on the bench I zoomed in on the grasses. This one picked out the ripples on the water. I couldn't see what was causing them. I've got three days of cat sitting now, so I won't be going very far from home. Now need to push this keyboard aside because Mayze wants a cuddle. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip. ilona
Great photos. The picture you inverted is so cool, I was looking at it awhile. If you hadn’t mentioned it I would have never known. Doesn’t the day get away when we are relaxed and just enjoying the journey. We have had a stomach virus 🦠going around our town I hear. Thankfully no one in our family has had to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteTake care, snowy windy night here and supposedly all weekend. We will see if “they” predicted it correctly lol. Amazing how many times you can be wrong but still have a job as a meteorologist. Like you said before, tomorrow morning we will wake up look out the window and make plans for the day. Take care mother!!!
Hello Tammy. My stomach rules my life. I know that if I deviate away from the foods that give me no unpleasant rumblings, I will be fine. I regulate when I eat, smaller meals and a snack or two in between. And as I mentioned before, I don't eat out.
DeleteHave a good day.
Hello Ilona! I'm so glad I found your blog. I read each article with great interest. Good day!
