{I needed my sunglasses at 9pm}
Beautiful evening walk, last night. Just me, Ed and the camera. Well and 3 other walkers, who also brought there DSLR cameras. The lady was taking a picture of the two men walking down the path, turned to me and said, I know I'm sad. I pointed to our camera in the bag and said, yes us too and we laughed :)
I love taking photos, of anything and everything, it is even better when you get some shots you weren't expecting to. Shame that beautiful bird flew low just as we put the camera away. There will be others...

Some sad news yesterday though. Some of my work colleagues' cat passed away. It lived to a great age though at 21. I know how upsetting it was when Arnie went in for his operations, so I couldn't imagine how they must have been feeling. I thought it might be nice to make them a card, beings as they are such a kind and generous couple. The thing about making your own cards is they don't have to be like the average shop bought card; as they can be your own creation any image, any greeting, any age or name on them can even have as much or as little on them as you please. I wanted a simple, fresh card, just to let them know that we were thinking of them.
They seemed to of really appreciated it. I'm glad :)
