TUM - Week ??? - Machines

We all managed to take photos for this theme...Mariette admitted to struggling a bit with the theme, because she over analysed what a machine is, but eventually just decided to go with it...and produced a very good picture...

Next Claire - also went with a picute of a MACHINE that is more a women's domain then a guys ----- oooooops is that too sexist - I must just tell you once again the Claire's husband Lance makes a stunning cup of coffee, so perhaps in the McGeer house the kettle is UNISEX...

Interesting (and I have only just noticed it) how both pictures hold reflections

Pam and I both went with earthmoving machinery...Her's first - taken whilst they were doing some grading at home last weekend...

I took mine (last minute rush) out of the car window whilst on the way to work last Monday...Must admit - I did expect a pretty blurred picture, so was very surprised that it came out quite nicely...

Well done to all four of us for getting it together....Let's try and keep it going.....if not for ourselves then for each other....
Our pictures of Sunsets were due on Friday last week - Mariette sent a lovely picture on the weekend, I am going to have a look at what I can send out once I have finished this post - Claire has promised to send something through this evening - we have not heard from Pam, so assume that she is having another hectic week - Miss you Pam, and love it when you have enough time to join us... :-)
Due on Friday  - is GROWTH - I have a few ideas - (does that mean my creativity is sticking around - you betcha - it doesn't have much choice, as I have tied it very firmly to my bedside table - it ain't goin' anywhere...), so until Sunsets - Lots and lots of love....

I'm Back...

I hope...It has been a while hasn't it....All my creativity has been MIA (Missing in  Action)-except there was no action where it went, but becasue my TUM buddies missed me more then I missed my creativity, I am trying to re-capture it and make sure that it never goes astray for that long again - I mean a long weekend is all very nice BUT almost two months - I don't think so...Anyway, I did not even take photos for TUM and eventually I knew that the girls were getting really, LIKE REALLY worried about me, so here I am ....when I started realising just how much I had missed, I started panicking, now when you have that much catching up to do - you can get pretty frightened and I was wandering how on earth I was going to manage...and I thought of a phrase that I use often....You eat an elephant a spoon at a time, but still how many spoons would I need - then wonderful, Mariette suggested that I don't try to catch up - just start from the next theme - I grabbed at this suggestion with both hands, and so I forgive myself for what I have missed (I hope everone else does as well) and without further ado ---- our theme for last week was "Machines..."
