Oh, today has not been good. The pouring rain all morning didn’t help.
I decided to do an experiment – I wanted to film one of our garden poppies coming out of their buds because every time we turn our backs, one unfolds and appears. They are very beautiful too.
I had lots of memory on my phone and I set it to take time-lapse photos all morning on my makeshift stand – between three glass balls and prayed no one would phone me (the phone vibrates!) Not ideal, I know, but it did the job. I even put my headtorch light on the buds to get a better result.
I love taking photos of the poppies and was very hopeful. Six hours later, not one poppy bud had come out and my phone ran out of battery. I ditched the long and very boring film feeling very disheartened.
All I wanted was something a bit more animated but have now given up. I’m not doing that again.
But, as Daisy said, when I whinged on the phone as to the fact that I now had nothing for today’s blog, “all anyone wants to really see is the cat!” So here you are.
(Oh yes, I did have one win today. I had forgotten – I got a collar on ‘Bert and even managed to give him some painkillers.)

the photos are beautiful even if you had something else in mind. And I never tire of pictures of Monster, or any of the other animals for that matter.
Thank you x
I love your blogs and look forward to them each evening, no matter what the content – however Daisy does have a point …. a Monster photo is always the cherry on the top!
He is certainly something! (glad you like the blogs)
The photos of the flowers are stunning!
Always waiting for your flower shots – just as we’re heading into mid-winter in southern Australia so not much around here. (Although seasons are mad world wide, so we are getting amazing roses when they should be hibernating).
Yes, Monster is great, but we appreciate all the photos.
Okay, I disagree with Daisy only in the sense that everything is of interest because of your life & your photodraphy skills (sorry, Monster, this not a slam because your pictures are great). Oh the flowers! The first composition is exquisite! I wish I had a clue what those little flowers are. Then the poppies; geez, I love poppies because they look as if an artist decided that a spot of color was needed against the green background (of course, we can’t grow them here-they need some cold weather). And the glass with the light coming in! Monster & Pepper are great as ever & I am so glad collared Bert got some pain killers! Great day!
Thank you for the cat photos. But also the Poppies, most beautiful even if not time-lapse.
