Not a bad view for a Saturday evening :)

 

 

It's been a pleasantly busy sort of week- You know those kind of weeks where you have no option but to just work your way through stuff- ticking things off as you go along. Well it's been that sort of week.

 

a) and f) The sunrise pics were taken at Sutera Harbour in KK. Coffee and sunsets- what a great way to spend a Saturday late afternoon.

 

b) Magazines! One of life's little luxuries that we can all do without- but makes life a little more pleasant if we have them- I was lucky this week as I'd had some magazines passed along to me (We do that a lot here- share mags, books and dvds!)  But I also managed to buy a couple of ones that I like, that were not a month out of date or way too expensive- which is usually the case- So I was happy. Saying that- they will probably sit waiting to be read for a long time!

 

c), d) and e)- School always makes me happy- I have a great job with lovely staff, great pupils and in a beautiful part of the world- so that makes me happy- Even more so this week- as we had some fun times making volcanos in science club, practising athletics and our whole school swimming gala. Good times!

 

Hope you had a Happy Week too :)

Saturday Snaps

Saturday Snaps- Summer in Skye

A photograph, each Saturday- Quirky or Serious?, Fun or Interesting?, Real or Abstract?

A comment or not, a thought, a quote or whatever-Let the pictures do the talking!

 

 

One of the hardest things about taking lots of photos is trying to decide which ones to keep. Now, as I may have already mentioned in some other post, making decisions is not one of my strong points. I am a ditherer, never really wanting to chose anything- just in case it's the wrong decision. Well, when it comes to chosing photos, I am just the same. So this week I had some hard decisions to make in the photo choosing stakes- for I had to choose 5 to make into postcards for my Liberate your art Postcard swap. This was one that was left out- Too 'postcardy' and not 'arty', but I love it anyway.

 Taken at dusk, on a camping trip with mum, on the Isle of Skye. A total contrast to where I am now, which is why I like it. Hope you do too!

 

I'd just like to say a big hello to all my new followers too, I still find it strange that anyone would want to follow my blog - so thank you:)

 

Until next time :)

My New Point and Shoot

 

Now don't get me wrong- I love my Canon DSLR, but I am very happy with my new purchase! To keep things fair in the Canon v Nikon camera war- I went for a Nikon- not for any other reason except it does what I want and it was a lovely turquoise colour!

 

I take an awful lot of photos with my 'Big' camera, but since my old point and shoot went to the great camera shop in the sky- It does get a bit cumbersome lugging it around all the time. Hence the need for a little camera. Now I have both, what more reasons does a girl need to take more photos!

Aside from the purchase of my new camera, lots of things have made me happy this week:-

a) A very nice glass of grown up's pop! Chilled Rose!

b) A great day diving off Gaya Island.

c) Even at the crack of dawn, heading for the shower, these ducks make me smile.

d) A new haircut- It was so desperately in need of a cut!

 

 Hope you had a good week too :)

One of the things I like doing on a weekend, is to wander down Gaya Street. It's one of the original streets in KK and was, and indeed still is, the hub of the Chinese community.

 

But this week it looked decidedly different- a bit empty- and then I realised why. The red lanterns that had been strung up since January for Chinese New Year, had been taken down. Despite the bright shop fronts and people milling about the street- it looked a lot less colourful without them.

 

So for this week's Saturday Snap- I'm posting a picture of Gaya Street complete with lanterns, just to keep the colour a little while longer.

 

Until next time :)
