10 August - Friday Challenge SP

I can do miserable today coz I'm worn out after 3 days with 3 kids and two nights of 3 hours sleep! AND I've lost my tripod so this was really hard to set up!! ;o)

Note to family and friends: I'm acting! I'm not that sad, so stop worrying!! ;o)

"It's Too Late"
Written and Performed by Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too
Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

You had me worried from the thumb - but all is not lost just the tripod, sleep, patience etc etc. Great series. Chris

Misery loves company! You may be miserable but those eyes are stunning! This could be a cover for a cd.

Excellent SP. Glad you're not really down. :^)
Ian York10-Aug-2007 20:09
you do look totally hacked off.
I feel the same way, I lost my car keys whilst we were away so had to hire a car to home,
and will pick up my car from long stay on Monday with a set of spare keys.

On a positive note the rental was a Xara Picassa, which I found to be a great car..
Sharon Rogers10-Aug-2007 18:50

So sad, about your tripod I mean.
Guest 10-Aug-2007 10:57
I can guarantee that a camera club judge would hate this 'cos of the burnt out white areas but I really like it. And my vote is for the colour version. Nice processing.
Guest 10-Aug-2007 10:46
Excellent composition
