R - Can you imagine the joy when I stumbled across these bad boys in the grocery store. All I need now is some Irn Bru!

Week 68
L - This photo kinda sums up the week for me and the pets last week. It rained and rained and...um...rained. Although safe from the floods...the last week of my holidays were mostly spent cooped up at home and watching for a break in the rain to get outside and do something in the fresh air. My cat took up residence at the front door...staring at the deck in a trance like state hoping for the same break in the weather. This is Missy...waiting it out! She celebrated the end of the rain by sleeping outside all day in the back garden. ;-)

Week 67
L - What a hard life, I spent last weekend relaxing down at the beach. This is me taking a break from reading the paper to look out at the beach from the deck of the boat shed where I sat.
R - We had 8 glorious, fluffy as a could, inches of powder last night that made me want to rent a 4x4, grab my board and head for the hills. Instead I donned by wellies and went to work :( but I am looking into options for day trips on the weekends before it all melts.

Week 66
L - Last Sunrise of 2010 - We headed to the mountains after Christmas for the first time in summer and were lucky enough to stay up on the mountain for a couple of nights. By chance, I woke up needing a glass of water and got up to see a beautiful subdued sunrise. The last for the year.
R - We went to a Mad Men themed New Year's Eve party in the Lower East Side, it was lots of fun but I didn't take many pictures. I snapped this just before we left to catch the train, it's a long ride home at 3 in the morning! There are so many graffiti covered bathrooms in NYC, I love this one with the brick and the effect that the urinal is in an alley. I struggled to choose between this photo and one I snapped where we had to change trains on the way home. The subway was a bit of a hot mess, I might have also nearly got in a wee bit of a scuffle because I also took a photo of some kid throwing up on the tracks while his friend held his hair back. His friends however didn't seem my artistic vision and made me delete it. I wish I had my SLR and not the point and shoot because the flash went off and everyone looked my way. It was really amusing you'd have laughed!

Week 65
L - Boozalicious - Well this small collection of alcoholic beverages and related items sums up the last week or so. Festive cheer aplenty!
R - similar to one I took last year but more snow and less dirty! The snow really was crazy, and in the distance you can see the wind whipping it up and around which buried people's cars, so happy to be car free in NYC. Also it was hard to choose between this photo and Diego who came a close second. He was very tired after Christmas Dinner.

Week 64
Another festive post this week, both including our pets...
L - Well I'm super late this week....sadly I have been doing boring stuff like painting and that is why I took so long. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to include a photo of me (and my cat - can you see her?) for a change with a festive spin! Here it is my bauble reflection.
R - it took a few tries and a toy on my head to get him to stay still. I mostly enjoy his greying beard, Little D is getting old, he'll be 5 in January and finally older that me (in dog years). Shame I couldn't capture him launching himself at my head to get the toy!

Week 63
L - Candy Canes and Christmas Lights - Super late in posting this but I did take it last week. I love sugar canes for some reason - really festive I guess. So you can't beat a bit of Candy cane and bokeh action to capture the festive season.
R - Find the Broken Bulbs - it's that time of year to dig out the "holiday" decorations, the tree lights were a little bit broken, but nothing a scientist can't fix, but can you see the broken one?

Week 62
L - Retro Sunday - I was down at the beach on Sunday and this car was in the car park...wonderfully retro.
R - Twilight on Saint James - I struggled this week and had to play around a little but got this shot on my street (Saint James) that I'm happy with. I did a little lomo and tilt-shift effect processing for the effect.
