Bradley's photography

This is me and Connor. Bradley's getting quite good at taking photos. Yes, using my camera ;). Not bad considering he's 4 years old.

I promise I have taken a photo for today, it's here.

Compass

My dad went to China on business recently, and he got this old Chinese Feng Shui compass as a gift. It's in the most beautiful leather box with 2 dragons on it. And the inside of the box is full of chinese writing.

Graffiti on Monkor

This is on Monkor Ave in Kelland. I stopped on the way home from work today to get the shot. This is much more artistic than the last graffiti photo that I took.

I'm going to be on the hunt for more. I've seen some lovely examples, I just have to stop in dodgy places to get those shots.

Raindrops

I really enjoy taking photos of raindrops around the garden. So, I couldn't resist going out while it was still raining to get some shots.

Stable mates nuzzling

The ground was too wet for Bradley to ride today, so they learnt about grooming horses ears today. While the kids were busy, I took Connor for a walk to see the horses.

These horses were next to each other in the paddocks, waiting for their turns to get groomed. I was very lucky to see El Gitano (right) lean over the railing to give Malawi (left) a nuzzle.

They're both still quite new at the stables. Malawi is a SPCA rescue. He's been at the stables for just over 2 months, and is looking fantastic now.
El Gitano is a thoroughbred who was living in very bad conditions. He'd been without water for ages and was barely fed. He's nearly 20 years old, and Melody doesn't expect him to fully recover for another 2 years (he's been at the stables for about 6 months). He was extremely under-nourished (which you can still see in the next photo), and had bad colic. He's also allergic to maize, so he's on a special diet.

Being the big brother

... means helping baby brother learn how to walk.

Brushing the dog

Bradley decided to give Robbie (my parents' laborador) a brush. He loves doing it, and Robbie really enjoys the attention.

Robbie's really enjoying it now.

Wordless Wednesday - Echeveria

Action in the pool

We had a lovely day at my mom's house today with friends and family. It was a scorcher again, so Elaine (my sister), her boyfriend and his cousin ended up in the pool playing with the Wazooka. The kids were swimming too, but I thought these pics would be nice for a change :) (even though Elaine is going to kill me for posting the last one).

OK, who's next?
Not me, not me!!
