Layers by maggiemae

Layers

Today was Book Club day and as usual we met at one of the member’s homes. The topic seemed to be Churchill and his impact on World War events. Various books read by some and remarked on.

Three good things:
1. On the way home I took this photo in the country looking across fields to the rain clad hills. There were several golden fields that were the result obviously of spraying prior to ploughing.
2. My published book was greatly admired by the book club - ‘fancy knowing a real author’ they said! ahem!
3. I’m back on track looking for a new photo each day!
What a view Maggiemae -- the colours are so surreal !! So good to be recognised as an author by your own Book Club !

This is gorgeous country side maggiemae. I just posted Williams Christmas parcel today so was thinking of your area. It's good to see the type of countryside. William lives at 303 Kaik Road do you know it at all?

A published author!! How cool! Congrats, Maggiemae. This is so great with the patchwork colors!

@amandal Its not at all so grand as it seems - I paid for the publishing, Amanda but it is nice to see it in a book!

@maggiemae I was published back when I was in 5th grade...the whole class was. I still have my book. One day, I'd like to be really published. Anyway you do it, it's cool. Is it available for purchase? Where can I find it?

@maggiemae I thought it was about that distance, I think he comes into Oamaru plenty of times for the Fire thing. He's been on lots of outings with the fire brigade.

Lovely layers in this serene landscape... how great to be a published author, even if you had to do some "self help" to get there. :) We were just in Churchill's underground war room, from where he directed the war effort... fascinating!

No, I don't see it.

@amandal It's called "A Mothers Memoirs", Amanda and my name as the author is "Margaret Jessie Munro'. Available on Balboapress.com.au and Amazon too. You have to wiggle your way through to the right bookstore!

Great view, love the variety

@grammyn Nope, Katy - they didn't even ask if they could buy one! Guess if I had a book signing and launch they would but I'm to nervous of being in the limelight for that! And better in the cough department but now my back has gone out again! Ah woe! There are others worse off!
December 3rd, 2015  
@rosiekerr Now that would have been interesting! I hope there was a lot of stories to go with this visit!
December 3rd, 2015  
Such pretty colors too.
December 3rd, 2015  
Beautiful layers! I am enjoying your book Maggiemae! So interesting! I have been a bit distracted these last few weeks with buying my new laptop and too tired to read when I go to bed which is when I normally read. Hopefully now I have the computer I can stop thinking about it and get back to my reading!

Fabulous views. Very nice to be appreciated by your book club but it would be nicer if they made an effort to buy your book!

@salza I do agree - they didn't even ask how much it would be!

Gosh, these layers and the rich tones work so well together!
December 4th, 2015  
I really love the layers of colors in this.
December 4th, 2015  
I feel as though I am sitting on the crest of that hill, my arms wrapped around my knees, hugged against my chest. There is little breeze and the distant sound of birds is hypnotic. This is the perfect place to sit and write for a spell. I'll join you.
December 4th, 2015  
Lovely capture and I like the colours of the various layers. FAV
December 4th, 2015
