Basket case by judithg

Basket case

I'm in a grumpy mood today out of proportion with the reasons to be grumpy (including leaving the card of my camera in the computer again). It's beautiful weather - I think probably the warm sticky nights and resultant disturbed sleep are catching up. Anyway - iPhone to the rescue and I'm looking forward to seeing friends I haven't seen for ages. All their kids went off to a different school to mine so although we used to see each other all the time in various places (cubs, sports, play dates etc) now we arrange time especially.
Three good things (all the more important when you're grumpy!):
1. Friends who still remember to invite me out on their shindigs.
2. Plants planted.
3. A G&T promised later...
great composition

Marvelous composition with wonderful light. Hope that G&T helps with the grumps! :)

Like the shadows in this.
I always leave an old spare card in my camera bag for when I do that. ;)

Love the neutral tones. Fantastic bike photo!

I love just the two tones in this shot and the way the bike has been left directly under the bell. As soon as I read your comment about forgetting your card, I whipped mine straight out of the computer as I have been caught too many times as well. Good idea @humphreyhippo - not sure why I didn't think of that before!

thanks you to your phone. This is wonderful even if taken by a good natured grump. Like the tones, the light, the shadows
July 9th, 2013  
@humphreyhippo I used to but I only have a 'slow' one - I need to buy a spare.

Oh dear a large G&T is called for me thinks!!! I often wonder why sometimes we wake up out of sorts & I have theory that it's to do with any dreams we have in the night. If ever I wake up & do remember what I have dreamt about ...which is rare ..I do think it colours your outlook on the morning....ah well that's my theory for what it's worth!!
Tried to read the notice , something about ringing the bell but the tones & textures are so restful & serene in this mad world!!
Could be the 1940's....as for the camera card well...........!

Love the tones here.....most annoying to be grumpy for unfathomable reasons and especially when the sun is out!!! Do hope you had a pleasant outing and a G and T later to put a better slant on things!! Sorry for the absolutely useless commenting....

Love the light, perfect Cambridge shot.
July 9th, 2013  
Oh cheer up. It could be 32 degrees and you could be staying in a hotel run by the Adams family frequented by late night door slammers. Anyway enough about me... Enjoy your G&t I like the symmetry of it being in your 3 gt's gosh that was long from a phone.
July 9th, 2013  
Oh yes I like the bike too.
July 9th, 2013  
@ruthmouch Oh it's not as bad as mine - too much nice weather to grasp while we can!

@judithg I've just bought a couple of class 10s from mymemory.co.uk as back-ups for my X100. They seemed fairly reasonable. :)

A Fav from me - I think it is the simple neural tones that work so well together that makes it so pleasing. I have a spare card and a spare battery in my handbag!!!
July 9th, 2013  
@annemary You're a pro!! Thanks for the fav.
July 9th, 2013  
Subtle colours, lovely light and shade and a great bike basket!

Put a spare card in your purse happy days. I keep one in my wallet and needed it today. :D
Cool shot
July 9th, 2013  
Have to make this a fav as it is so quintessential YOU! Chin up, this, too, shall pass.
July 9th, 2013  
Yes that is so annoying, I can imagine it not helping the grumps! Still clearly it didn't hinder you in any way, this is completely up to your high standards. Great shot with wonderful earthy tones.
July 9th, 2013  
As I am posting this later in the evening I hope you have had your G&T and feeling much more mellow. Love this bike shot, lovely light. You always do these well.
July 9th, 2013  
It does not sound like you being grumpy Judith, The light has been really good for taking photos , you can almost feel the heat in this shot
July 9th, 2013  
classic cambridge :) ...nice light and shade judith ...eye phone to the rescue
July 9th, 2013  
Great fall back though...Must be the heat!
July 9th, 2013  
Good shot. Enjoy the G&T, sounds like you need it
July 9th, 2013  
Love the repeating colours in this
July 9th, 2013  
I have a cord which connects directly from the camera to the computer and I leave it in the computer all the time! It came with the camera. I can't read the notice but I like the overall picture so much!
July 9th, 2013  
Well done iPhone - super sharp image. Nice follow up to yesterday's.

Nothing wrong with a good grump. Keeps the good moods in context.
July 10th, 2013  
Nice bike shot, love the tones.

A basket case
July 10th, 2013  
Love these kinds of baskets nice composition.
July 10th, 2013  
This is a typical Jusith-esque shot. None the worse for having to use the i-phone although I'm always leaving the card in my laptop too ;o) xx
July 10th, 2013  
Wonderfully cropped composition.
