Between rain showers, I took my little Isetta out to play.

During the Seven Days of Black & White Challenge there were a few comments about how various shots would look in colour. Well, here they are.

Both Elsie at Ramblings of a Writer, and Lucile at Sights and Insights invited me to join the Seven Days of Black & White challenge. The rules are simple:
“Seven days. Seven black and white photos of your life. No people. No explanation. Challenge someone new each day.”
If you haven’t already taken part, please consider it — especially if black & white is not your usual “thing” photographically.
Ooh shiny: distractions, diversion and delicious detail

I’m in need of distraction at the moment. The last few weeks have left me feeling adrift in a slightly leaky boat, buffeted by the waves of others’ moods and problems. So anything that provokes a smile is very welcome in my life. I just didn’t expect it to come in the form of tiny plastic Smurfs!
One of the petrol chains is obviously doing some Smurf-related promo, and is handing out these little toys at the checkout — one for every forty dollars spent on gas.
I know it looks like I must drive an awful lot, but yesterday my (very) modest Smurf collection got a huge boost when the attendant made a mistake with my transaction and handed over some bonus toys by way of apology. Yes, I had already admitted that I was collecting them!

The little people are currently engaged in a road-trip photo shoot round an out-of-date calendar. And not entirely enjoying themselves by the look of it.

Wordless Wednesday: nobody’s gonna slow me down …

I’m not sure why, but in my mind this picture needs this music.
Enjoy … at the very least a wry smile!
