Redundant

You know when you're in trouble when your cat has learned to turn your alarm clock on. Previously she has sat on the radio on/off button and we have been treated to night time radio, thankfully muffled by her furry bottom. But sadly the first alarm clock setting you get if you manage to press the right button by walking on it with your claws out is 6.30 am so we were awoken rather earlier than necessary for half term. And to make matters worse the cat snoozed through the event.
Three good things:
1. Quite a few jobs ticked off including collecting Rachel from the station (hurrah - though she's off to a karate competition for 3 days tomorrow and then heads back for a couple of weeks).
2. One offspring's exams finished - I cannot believe the first year is over bar the partying.
3. No hosepipe ban.
PS Thanks for the lovely comments yesterday - I was out last night and have a mountain of ironing but will crack on with viewing and commenting later this evening.
Great shot! Awesome focus and pov

Wonderful focus - love the title.

A very suitable shot for us too here in north Essex! Can't believe how bad it is. I have those pegs too! Raindrops and all!
May 29th, 2013  
@tishpics Just bought some new ones so they are finally fit to photograph!
May 29th, 2013  
One more good thing -- it was raining so you didn't have to hang up the wash!

Cool perspective and DoF
My parents dog has turned the burglar alarm on, she jumps up and nudges the buttons ha ha. She hasn't managed to set it off yet, but that is just a question of time :D
May 29th, 2013  
Like the point of view and dof.
May 29th, 2013  
love the shot and you really should get a contract with a womens magazine to do a weekly column :) i love the way you write

Well we do some funny things on 365 Judith but buying new pegs to photo is like cleaning up before the cleaner comes....I would do exactly the same he he!!
lovely wet pegs with drips on...god for photos no good for washing!!
That cat is very intelligent!!!
May 29th, 2013  
Love this! Our cat has done something similar several times, except that it results in the alarm not going off!
May 29th, 2013  
I think it seems to be raining everywhere! Love that single raindrop hanging from one peg! Clever cat - clever Jinks - slept in our bedroom last night....
May 29th, 2013  
what a creative shot. Love the dof and rain drops and edit. That is a smart and frustrating cat. I had to wake with the alarm at 4:30 this morning so Jim could go off and kayak with our son before work. argh!
May 29th, 2013  
Great shot! Pity it's a May shot!!
May 29th, 2013  
I agree, it is a great shot, but such a shame its raining again!
May 29th, 2013  
A very clever shot for today. So simple yet very effective and perfect in B&W
May 29th, 2013  
Wonderful DOF. A suitably grey shot for the grey weather xx

Love the rain bokeh in the background and the wonderfully sharp peg in the foreground. Great shot and very apt for the past couple of days. Where did summer go?
May 29th, 2013  
You need to have a soft ball to throw at her when she does this! I do like these neat looking pegs and it makes a different photo!
May 29th, 2013  
Fab shot, perfect of the day.
Hilarious cat action you've got.
May 29th, 2013  
@ditto44 Oh I'd love that!
May 29th, 2013  
@nanalisarocks Yeah that's not good either!
May 29th, 2013  
This is really cool, Judith. Love it.
May 29th, 2013  
What a great shot, lovely dof and those drops just say it all about the weather. You need a shelf for the clock!
May 29th, 2013  
It looks as though you have the same wet weather, no point in pegging out the washing.A good picture for the theme
May 29th, 2013  
I just love an arty clothespeg, me!
May 29th, 2013  
Very nice variation of that theme.

Lol, I know its no laughing matter being woken up early but I have a wonderful vision of furry bottoms, slumbering cat and you two wide awake. Love the shot btw, I also took one of dripping pegs but it wasn't nearly as good as yours.
May 29th, 2013  
Wonderful narrative. I always enjoy your posts. Lovely shot. Perfect DoF and processing.

Loved the story, laughed at "furry bottom".....! Nice shot, even if it is raining yet again ...
May 30th, 2013  
Fantastic shot! Amazing focus with this very cool composition. Love it.
Darn cats...why can't they learn how to accidentally do the laundry or dust the baseboards. :)
May 30th, 2013  
What a lovely way to portray a wet day. Beautiful composition and focus! I suppose you can fill your hosepipes yourself with all that rain... Fav, by the way.

Cool idea. Like the lighting here.
May 30th, 2013  
Cool shot! Love it in B&W, too.
May 30th, 2013  
Lovely pov Judith, your life always sounds so busy. I did my mountain last night!
May 30th, 2013  
meant to sat, funny cat story
May 30th, 2013  
At least the rain is giving you plenty of practice with water droplets. Love this focus, Judith, the creativeness of subject matter and the b&w.
May 30th, 2013  
Great portrayal of a wet day, the b&w works really well. But, we now need a pic of the cat sitting on the alarm clock :)
May 31st, 2013  
Nice one, but agree the cold and rain has well and truely gone past its sell-by-date :S
June 1st, 2013
