Day 54 In the Details

Well so far today we don't seem to be having the predicted heatwave but spring is certainly trying to raise it's head.  Last night as Peter was coming to bed he heard the frogs croaking away in the pond and when he opened the curtains this morning the pond boiled as they all dived for cover.  This of course has kept the cat amused as he is fascinated by all the movement so I had to include these photos of him looking into the pond.


 My photo for today probably doesn't show as much detail as it could but it celebrates the fact that today is the first day I have put washing out to dry.  Rather than show the whole washing line I chose the tiny detail that we always miss, the peg that holds it on the line.

 I have two cameras one SLR and one compact.  I use both but have always struggled with the macro lens for the SLR.  Just trying to turn the macro on from the zoom settings always defeated me.  Thanks to using it so much on this blog I have now learnt the sequence of actions to turn it on /off.
Just had to add these 2 photos of a cat who pays no attention to detail.  This afternoon while I was scraping he came and sat on my shoulder.  Just now while I was looking out the widow he launched himself onto my shoulder, let me go and get my camera and take these photos in the mirror. Not the best pics but the only way I could think of capturing the moment. Is he a cat or a parrot?

  1. Lovely photos. Our cat used to bring frogs in to see us. I didn't know they could scream until then!

    Great idea about the peg- it's lovely enough to have put the washing out here today. Must get the rotary line sorted.
