Poppy by judithg

Poppy

Up early to send Adam off to school - not sure why I bother as he sorts himself out and I barely see him but somehow I feel I should! And anyway I then had to get Monty to the vet sharpish to sort out his poor little suppurating feet. That gave me the day to don my decorating clothes and crack on with the downstairs loo. All went pretty well until I opened the shower cubicle and realised that it needed a very good scrub and in the process of doing that I scratched half of the paint off below the cubicle and had to do it again. Half way through the painting process I managed to let out a plaintive yell which brought Rachel running and she wasn't best pleased to discover that in the process of reaching up from the skirting to dampen a cloth I had run cold water up my sleeve and then - somehow it ran all the way down my back!
Three GT:
1. The room looks brighter and fresher.
2. I don't have to do it tomorrow (plenty more jobs lined up though!)
3. Monty is home and fine - sore looking toes which have to be bathed for 10 min daily - that's going to be a laugh and a half.
PS A poppy from yesterday - too painty to get the camera out today.
Beautiful poppy capture.

The sun on the poppy is so beautiful, poor Monty 10 minutes is a really long time to bathe a paw! Good luck!

Lovely shot of this poppy. I took one today which was a little forlorn. I'm glad I didn't post it after seeing yours!

Stunning, gorgeous light. I find poppies hard to photograph as the shine is sometimes all wrong.

Love this single poppy - nice POV! Are mites the same as ticks? Poor Monty - hope he doesn't get them again! You are very good to do that painting! I have never even tried and don't intend to start!

I love poppy shots and this uses light beautifully, with great dof.

A really effective shot, so simple and elegant. You have captured the fragility of the poppy perfectly.

Lovely poppy - ours are long gone. Put the tub in the garden and tell Monty to stay out of it. Tie a hoop over it just out of his reach.
September 5th, 2013  
Stunning!!!

Delightful poppy shot! Get well soon Monty - even eating dinner doesn't take ten minutes for a dog, sorry can't think of anything helpful to distract him.

Just looking at trains for next week. Are you still up or meeting? What suits you best - evening of the 12th or afternoon of the 13th. I probably need to leave about 4pm I think. Last time I escaped by lunch although I haven't heard from them with a time for the meeting.
September 5th, 2013  
@fueast Afternoon of 13th best for me - I can be in town in about 20 min if you don't know too far in advance.
September 5th, 2013  
@judithg OK the meeting looks set for 10am so I should be done by abut 12. We could go to that nice cafe for lunch? Or any other nice cafe?
September 5th, 2013  
@fueast It's a date :0)

great poppy shot - poor old Monty - bathing dogs is never an easy job...you end up getting more wet than the dog!!
September 5th, 2013
