Afternoon Peeps

Well today has been a little manic hasn't it. I am sure half the globe now have TL cold turkey as a result of the little blip this morning. Still its nice to see everyone was missing it as much as me :-)

So todays theme image, well to be quite honest peeps there have not been enough hours in the day this week. I am working on a big project at the momement and spare time is non existant. Whats new there then? lol

Last night I was rushing around having a fit as I realised I still had no image for the theme this week.

No time to get out and about and nothing on file. I decided to re position some of my pots and baskets in the garden under the window and have abit of fun!

If you look very carefully you might just be able to see my reflection in the window as I took this shot. I got the idea when i looked through the viewfinder and saw my washing blowing on the line as a reflection.

Anyway enough jabber for now. I hope your all having a good day and i will post details for next weeks theme to forum later.

TTFN regards Smurfie

Hi Helen,

Lovely addition to the theme! Beautiful flowers in your garden. I think flowers bring so much joy to the setting of a home.

I like the bright colors against the facade of your house. Of course the window itself is different from those in the U.S.....

Thanks always for doing the themes! They are so much fun....

Lisa :D

Yeah...the "blip" freaked me out this am...AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hello Helen,

Self portait and flowers combined to make an excellent, balanced sdhot!

What a lovely colourful flower image - those plants bring such a summery look to the scene.
I was very impressed with the flower baskets when we were in England in 1999, and yours are no exception Helen. And good to see you in the window too,
