The main road that runs south of Oamaru was closed today for repairs to a part and will be for a week. The traffic is diverted past our road which gave me practice for a panning shot. I need more practice! But way over there a mile away, there was a little cottage half hidden in the bush. Can only be seen as here using a zoom!
Three good things:
1. Made a delicious omelette sous vide. Will do it again!
2. The roar of traffic past our place was dulled by our double glazed windows.
3, I get all the News I want online nowadays but still like to do the puzzles in the real paper.
What a delightful cottage in amongst all those lovely trees and bushes -- quite a lot of work to keep them tidy , And I agree Maggiemae --I also prefer to do the puzzles in real papers !
Gorgeous framing of beautiful trees of varying colours. I think that looks a perfect place to live! I am surprised they have closed the road, we always comment how good you are about not shutting the roads for repairs. You just seem to cope perfectly driving slowly past !
lovely scene! panning is something I haven't got yet either. I live in a place at the mo that doesnt need double glaze windows but there has been many where I would have been grateful for them.
I like this peeking out from all the vegetation. Btw, I meant to mention in my previous comment that I'm so glad you are seeing and enjoying pictures of your new granddaughter!
@skstein You put eggs into a strong plastic bag, jiggle them around, add cheese, mushroom etc then seal the bag, place in a pot of simmering water for 13 mins. Take out of water and roll out of the bag on to a plate! Scrumptuous!
What a lovely little hideaway!
We're about to stop our subscription to the daily newspaper after more years than I care to remember. The news coverage and language usage has deteriorated to such an extent that I don't think we'll miss it. The one thing I really will miss is the crossword! If you ever find a good online site please let me know ;)
Love the way the cottage is framed by the trees. We still get a daily paper for the crossword, sudden and word circle. If I read too much news I either feel angry or depressed! Back to the shot. I love the variety of colours and textures in the garden
@olivetreeann I think this is the sort of cottage that a very old lady lives with her cats and antimacassars on the back of dingy old armchairs! And wears a cardigan that goes up at the back!
