Leaf
At first glance I thought that this was a butterfly wing but no, a leaf blown in from the garden. It must have missed the occasional floor brushing I do and lodged itself under the dresser. Now if I'd swept thoroughly it wouldn't have been there and I wouldn't have had a happy half hour taking photos of it.
The older I get the more I believe the saying "show me a tidy house and I'll show you a woman/man with a wasted life" maybe that's a bit harsh but then again, maybe not ;)

:)
I spent today taking photos around the Ruby Country Market in Hatherleigh, Devon. It's great to see how many talented people there are in the South West.
Crafts, food, drink, you name it and it was most likely there.
I must admit that I rather fell for this sign :)

Ahhh warm...
I've been having a problem getting warm lately even with the central heating on all day so it's good to get the bathroom warm and steamy. Fortunately we have a large hot water tank so I can have the shower/taps running for quite a while. :)
Have a lovely weekend everyone - keep warm!

Mabel
We belong to that strange section of people who name things - pets of course, toys, cars, computer/tech equipment, plants...... So let me introduce you to Mabel :))

Wool
I braved the cold, got out of the car and took this photo of sheep's wool.
It's a bit early for sheep to be sheared but there was a fair quantity of wool lying around in this field pen and I can't think of another reason it'd be there.
It was so cold I wasn't out of the car for many minutes.
Oh for Spring and some warmth.

A Rose
The cold is getting into my poor old bones and so I didn't venture far today.
Good job I have flowers in the house. :)

Smile
This lovely lady was at Rosemoor today and agreed to pose for a photo.
I was with Camera Club members setting up an exhibition in the Education Centre. We have been lucky enough to be given a gallery there until Christmas and will be showing sets of photos for 6 weeks at a time. It's a great place to hold an exhibition and it'll be interesting to read the visitors book.
This lady was hoping to have a look in the gallery but we had frames and prints all over the place at the time. I hope that she comes back for a proper look.

Hellebore
These brave flowers bloom through the worst of the weather being winter flowers.
They are starting to look a bit scruffy now but still good enough to be admired.
As with the Euphorbia I took a photo of earlier in the week these Hellebores are poisonous and
best not touched unless you wear gardening gloves.

Leaves
I had to take some dying leaves off a house plant and, waste not want not, I used them for my
PaD. They look a bit alien, interesting but alien.

Me & Hat
I'm not sure that it would have been a good idea to wear this outside today.
For one thing the rain would have spoiled it and for another I'd have been chasing it all over the place as the wind was very strong at times.
Have a happy and dry weekend everyone!

Determined not to look.
Some friends came round today with their lovely little girl Ysabel. She "posed" for me for a while but then
decided that enough was enough as any sensible nearly 3 year old would do!

Euphorbia
Common name Spurge with poisonous and caustic sap (latex) it's not one for a family garden but is very striking.
Some of the common names of various Species give a hint at just how unpleasant these plants can be - Rattlesnake Weed, Medusa's Head, Firestick and Devil's Backbone to name just a few.
That said it's a lovely plant to look at - just remember to keep your distance!!
