Sky-watching Sunday

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/reason-to-believe/

Apparently yesterday, while we were out and about getting wine and going to the grocery, I was fascinated by the sky.  Didn’t take pictures of anything else.  Don’t know why.  Well wait.  That’s not true.  I did take pictures of our clematis vines that look like they’re budding.  I think they are leaves, but Kevin is convinced they are flowers.  Seems a bit early, but we shall see…many other things are blooming away convinced it’s already February or March.

Anyway, those pictures are at the bottom under all the sky shots!

Colour Your World: Brown

Today’s Colour Your World is Brown (http://jennifernicholewells.com/2016/01/17/color-your-world-brown/)

You can’t fool me.  Brown?  That’s too easy!!  I just know there will be more colours that I’ll want to use pictures over for because they are more “Burnt Sienna” or “Chestnut”…arrrrggggg

I think this will do just fine for, oh, so many reasons!

Sleepy Saturday

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/learning-style/

And it was a sleepy Saturday.  Our guests were leaving in the afternoon, however, so we did get ourselves out and about for a walk downtown for lunch and a little shopping.

Lunch was curry and chai

Shopping was for tea and trip to Mountain Equipment Co-op.  And then a walk back home, via ice-cream.  Hey, it was a nice day!  Even sunny and warm enough to feel like ice-cream!!

Then our friends packed up and headed out to catch the ferry back to the mainland and their journey back to Saskatchewan.  We fell asleep on the couch, much like kitties…

Late Saturday Random Post

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/b/

It’s been a busy week at work, and spending evening time with friends visiting from Saskatchewan.  It was nice for a Friday night to get out and have sushi – it’s not just the “I love sushi!” thing, but also the “I don’t have to cook or clean” thing!!  I even remembered to take some pictures BEFORE all the food was gone 🙂

And now, for some real randomness.  The number of unread email messages on one of our visiting friend’s phones…  Yes, you see that number right…

And happiness again as our espresso machine returns from repairs.  Yay!!!

Colour Your World: Blush

Today’s Colour Your World is Blush (http://jennifernicholewells.com/2016/01/15/color-your-world-blush/

Ah, walking out of the realm of blues and greeny looking colours into the realm of pinks and reds.

Ok, where’s the #$^$& Sort by date function for inserting my images in the new editing window!!!  Why Why Why would they take that away????  WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY???????????

Suddenly, out of frustration, I click on a bunch of things and, voila, I find the backdoor to the old editing window….Yay!!

And now, here’s blush!

Is it the end of the day yet?

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/morphing/

Well, I guess I am now forced to use WordPress’ new editing interface.  It’s all over now.  Change?  On a Friday??  When I haven’t had nearly enough sleep???  Come on guys…

One another topic, here is what I saw when I left work yesterday…the end of a long, tiring day.

Another walk on high

A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/ripped-into-the-headline/

Hard to believe it’s January when you’re out and about here.  I was at the other campus yesterday and was able to take my favourite hill walk – I haven’t done this walks since September I think.  And it didn’t rain!!

Here are some of the sights along the way.

Moss-covered trees

Lots of water, but in places its supposed to be.

Covered bee hives

Lots more moss…

About halfway there.

Couldn’t quite get a good picture of the droplets of water on the twigs.

Colour Your World: Blue Green

Today’s Colour Your World is Blue Green (http://jennifernicholewells.com/2016/01/13/color-your-world-blue-green/)

Now, I’m sure I already posted pictures with this colour in it.  It’s all blue (or sometimes green – depends on the light) to me!  But, here we go…

There’s a little blue, a little green, a little blue-green…
