Hi and sorry i haven't been on here for a long time now.  This photo is of a teddy bear i won when i was in my late 30's.  Its the first teddy bear that i have ever had.  I know this sounds odd, but its so true.  He's so soft.

I have just used this bear photo (in its origanal size) and edited with words in my site where i am trying to now sell my photo.  Well you never know i may get lucky.

I have now taged ellamia, tadpole, vonny and August88.

On friday I was looking around my garden.  Most of the flowers now have died off. 

Is it funny that all though we hate weeds in the garden and we all want to get ride of them, each in there own way have a inner beauty.

Here is two photos of Dandelion weeds I took.

Half blown away.

  Matted together by rain and wind.

Do you agree?

Today when i signed in i had received many gifts and to that person (you know who you are and so do i) thank you so much.

I would also love to thank the anonymous gift i also received, so thanks from the bottem of my heart.

Yes we do have very nice friends here in minti.

so THANK-YOU

Well we are defenitly still in magpie swooping time. 

As l was walking home from the shops, (i have to walk up hill all the way and it can be a very hot and tiring walk in summer because there is no shade) a magpie flew out directly in frount of me, i was walking up on the right side foot path.

On the other side of the road was a man and his son on a double push bike riding up our steep hill (i dont know how he was doing it), when the magpie that flew in frount of me flew across the road and pecked the man in the head.

Lucky for him he had a bike helmet on and so did his young son.  I dont know if the colour of the helmet made the magpie swoop as it was white, or the bird flet his young was in danger.

Magpie swooping starts here in late September and runs until the first week or so of November.

So, never stare at a magpie.
