Sticky burrs by happypat

Sticky burrs

I am totally uninspired this week for any decent photos...partly the weather & partly that I haven't had any time much to think of a subject & pursue it to a satisfactory conclusion.

We went to see Gone Girl today at the cinema ....glad I had read the book because you could get a little confused although my friend enjoyed it without reading it.
Two unpleasant people who deserved each other I thought & still think.......the main guy was not as I imagined him but the rest was OK.
We were bumped in the rear on the way home unfortunately but not much damage & hopefully will be repaired without any problem without an insurance claim.


Three good things:
1. Richard is going to win Bake Off!!
2. Caught the slug in the sitting room that was coming up from the flag floors leaving silvery trails......tried to catch it when I came down in the night but to no avail. Slug pellets in the end!
3. Thre B&B in all week & only one wants any breakfast !
Pat, I feel you lead a charmed life! Like the sticky burrs and the lone ladybird and glad he didn't get caught in the web. Good news re the slug - ugh!!!

Well I love this - spikes and cobwebs and a bonus ladybird. Looking forward to Gone Girl although the ending really annoyed me. Come on Luis!
October 8th, 2014  
This is great. Love the contrasts in light and texture.
October 8th, 2014  
Great autumn colours. Glad I'm not the only one invaded by slugs. Maybe I should resort to pellets. Horrible things

Love this photo, and I love reading your little 'diary entries' the one on Padlocks site I found particularly amusing and true (many brains/no common sense) as it rings very true about how highly intelligent maths geek son. We went to see Gone Girl last week, I really enjoyed it (apart from the constant f words. Sorry about the bump, you are safe which is the main thing :( and Louis is going to win tonight!

@quietpurplehaze @judithg @macromover @fueast
Well I must admit we were lucky today...no whiplash & I was t driving....the traffic was terrible & stopped suddenly to let a car turn into a drive . We stopped but the guy behind didn't!
Sorry it's a filler...raining & the sea wasn't visible in the rain. Slug pellets are the thing Alison .......I tried salt , no good.
Richard will win Judith!

@fueast @happypat I've used some wool pellets on my pots - it stinks but it works!
October 8th, 2014  
@judithg wood pellets.....must ask about those.....better perhaps with pets around. We haven't been in the sitting room to sit for over a week because of Lily's little problem....keeping in the kitchen with the hard floors for obvious reasons. Will be able to light the wood burner at the weekend as all is well with her now.

Beautiful branch with the great addition of the ladybug
October 8th, 2014  
beautiful capture Pat fav
October 8th, 2014  
Great shot ... poor lady bug picked the wrong plant to go for a walk on.. must check out that movie..
October 8th, 2014  
love it with the ladybird and cobwebs - Fav. I haven't see hardly any ladybirds this summer
October 8th, 2014  
Great texture and focus.
October 8th, 2014  
We can all do with fillers at one time or another! This is a worthy one. I've been feeling uninspired - like -I've done it all before! Then along came Mr Moon!
October 8th, 2014  
@busylady thanks for the fave Judith....we weren't in my car today thank goodness but I still felt guilty even though it wasn't our fault!!
October 8th, 2014  
@anazad511 @julzmaioro @rosiekind @kwind thank you all lovely comments for an uninspiring photo!
October 8th, 2014  
@gerry thank for your generous fave Gerry!
October 8th, 2014  
@maggiemae I have been getting a bit behing with looking at photos these last few days...feel it's all getting on top of me a bit! Must look at Mr Moon.
October 8th, 2014  
@happypat I have the same feeling - I'm not so keenly looking for photos!
October 8th, 2014  
A wonderful capture Pat of the little ladybird on the burr and the delicate web in the background
October 8th, 2014  
Great photo! Love the inclusion of the ladybird ... very autumnal! Interesting thoughts on the film ... I wasn't a fan of the book, but may still see the film!
October 8th, 2014  
These burrs get everywhere but mainly on Saski's ears and then they stick to themselves like Velcro! Wonder if this ladybird is hibernating already.
October 8th, 2014  
@helly31 the film followed the book pretty much....I did enjoy it but if I hadn't read the book I might have been confused! The ending isn't that brilliant of course but worth two for the price of one on Orange Wdnesday!
October 8th, 2014  
@lucypics they stuck to me too Lucy....while I was blackberrying...very itchy!
October 8th, 2014  
@beryl yes the ladybird was a bonus I didn't see to start with Beryl.
October 8th, 2014  
Nice shot

Sticky burrs seems to go with seeing a depressing movie and having a little accident. The photo of them is really good.
October 9th, 2014  
That's a movie I want to see too. Rave reviews here
October 9th, 2014  
Love the lady bug in there
October 9th, 2014  
Firstly so sorry to read about the bump.
The ladybird looks all snug but precarious in amongst those spikes. Lovely shot
October 9th, 2014  
A neat shot - there's so much to see in it - cobwebs, flower spikes, ladybird… Just lovely. Pity about your car, but pleased you weren't injured. @julzmaioro and I saw Hip-Hoperation today - lovely film about a Hip hop dance troupe aged 66-94… NZ movie.
October 9th, 2014  
Excellent detail on this shot and love the ladybird and the spider web.
October 9th, 2014  
Are you sad he didn't win? I thought it'd be Louie, soon changed my mind when programme started. Nancy worthy winner on the day.
October 9th, 2014  
Used to get those all over my trousers as a kid
October 9th, 2014  
@newbank I agree Richard totally blew it ...Nancy was a very well deserved winner.
@dide wasn't my car thank goodness Dianne!
October 9th, 2014  
Such a nice shot - it seems to capture autumn perfectly. Glad you posted it. Fav.
October 9th, 2014  
Lovely ladybird capture. Yay for B&B's who don't want breakfast!
October 9th, 2014  
Great autumnal capture
October 9th, 2014

I got all into Bake Off this year - I would never have called it but Nancy pulled it out of the bag at the end.

I like this actually - the detail is so sharp.
October 17th, 2014  
Great detail.
