I kind of cheated a bit with the Gallery this week as the post below was really written last week but I thought it fitted in with this weeks theme really well so I added the snazzy Gallery tag and moved the post to today ;-)  I hope that's OK.....We've just spotted the most beautiful rainbow outside our house........ So we did what any normal family would do - We went to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!I'm sure you can guess where this story is going - Yep, no pot of gold, no leprechaun and two disappointed children. … [Read more...]

I have a bit of a love / hate feeling about this weeks Gallery theme - 'Can you tell what it is yet?'  When I read what Tara had in mind this week I was really excited (yes, I am sad lol).  I picked up my camera and waited for inspiration to hit me and I waited and waited....  I was planning to be super creative but it just wasn't happening - so I did what anyone would have done in my situation - I gave up ;-)Then, this morning I had a bit of a trauma getting the kids ready for school and I finally found something to take a photograph of....So, can you tell what it is yet? … [Read more...]

This weeks theme for The Gallery is 'Creatures', so I've had a look through my (many, many) photos and found some that fit the bill....This weird looking creature is a  Dragon Sea Horse - you can just make out Master Frugal's reflection in the picture.  He was fascinated by it.We all got to hold a starfish when we went to the Sea Life Centre recently - it was that or a crab!Miss Frugal likes to pretend this horse is hers, it lives in a field near us so we often go for a walk on a night to say hello to 'Patches'.Miss Frugal watching Bruno the seal. If you haven't taken part in … [Read more...]

This weeks theme for The Gallery is Motherhood - my favourite prompt so far.  I was going to tell you about how much I love being a mum or about how I am filled with love everytime I look at my babies or I could have even told you about how proud I am of them both.... But instead, I'll just let my pictures tell you how much I love being a mum.     I'm looking forward to seeing everyone elses entries for this week.  If you've never entered before pop over to Tara's blog and find out all about the Gallery. … [Read more...]

THE PROBLEM: This week's theme for  The Gallery is Still Life and I've wandered round the house this evening looking for something ordinary that I could somehow turn into a picture that would amaze you all with my fantastic photography skills.  Unfortunately, I don't actually have much in the way of photography skills and the sun was shining outside making me want to go out and play with the kids. THE SOLUTION: We decided to go for a walk down our street to see if we could find beautiful things in our own street rather than the nature trail where we usually go for our walks.  Voila -Fun … [Read more...]

I love the theme for this week's Gallery, I can't wait to see everyone's take on the theme of Friendship. I'm not going to say much this week (not like me lol) - I'm going to let the pictures do the talking.            … [Read more...]
