Photo Hunt – Week 9

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

This week’s theme is a good one – fire. I’m quite happy with how this photo came out. And it was one where taking a photo after work actually worked.

Taunting Vicky

And because of the photo that Vicky posted for windows, and the comment she put with it, here is Notre Dame (or at least part of it) in spring ;)

Photo Hunt catch-up

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Since I got this blog there were 3 photo hunt weeks that I failed to put something up… mainly because I have only just recently bought a digital camera and all my photos I have that are any good are on film. Vicky very nicely scanned them in for me so here comes the catch-up for those 3 weeks.
autumnFirst came Autumn. This photo was taken in a little lakeside town in Austria (have forgotten the name for now). They have autumn festivals and this was their spokesman.

Next comes critters. On a street in Paris stood this lovely trio playing such typical music. I just could resist taking the photo.

And last of all comes the windows. This photo is of a little tea house at an old palace in Germany – Sanssouci. It has been restored extensively, although at the time I visited (Winter 95-96) the tea house was among only a couple of buildings that had been finished.  Oh, and in case you are wondering, the boxes around the tea house are covering statues.  Because of the cold, they cover the statues in winter to protect them.  I think it is supposed to stop them from cracking or such.  Not sure.

Photo Hunt

KeysWell I am finally posting a pic for the photo hunt.  Not sure what week this is, but Vicky told me the theme was keys.  My pic isn’t as artistic as hers, but here you see all my house keys and lab keys thrown on the floor.  What can I say… unless you are Vicky and have been able to collect old keys, it’s a hard theme :)

I have a rock!

Hermit 22Feb07Well I got a lot more done on the CC on 3 SAL than I should have.  I was supposed to get a lot of writing done this past weekend but instead I caved in to Hermit.  Well, and sleep :)   I have the first rock done from Hermit.  It is a lot more green than I thought it would be, but I still like it.  Now this one gets put away until next month.

Sue's RRHere it is finally, my section on Sue’s RR. I haven’t been doing much stitching and most of the time I had was spent on this RR section. Since I have finished I have been able to pick up Stella again, so next time I post there will be piccies of Stella and Hermit.
