Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I like cars but I worked in the motor trade for twenty years and had my fill of them to be honest. These days as long as Sadie gets me there I’m happy. I do like to photograph them though and here are some of my favourites. 
I’ve no idea, perhaps there are some enthusiasts out there?
Classy but . . .
This is the best! Here I am getting into this sexy little number near Milan – in my dreams! Have a look at Cee’s stunning photo’s here and get some ideas about vehicle photography.
Do you remember my solitary post about Fifi the Black Swan ? Well I just wanted to report that she is still on the river and looking healthy. 
I realised today how much smaller she is than the white mute swans on the river, they would easily be able to pick on her. It seems they leave her alone now that they are no longer nesting, let’s hope it stays that way.
I wonder how many similar photos to mine there will be this week! I have just been for a walk by the river and decided to finish with a hot drink in the Coffee Cellar on the quay.
They always have divine home made cakes, but I managed to resist this time! Inside is lovely, they have comfy sofas and dogs are welcome but today was just warm enough to sit outside and people watch. Another other nice thing about the Coffee Cellar is that when they make you hot chocolate the put the bit that won’t fit into your cup into a little jug. My friend had the full works with cream, for me it’s just the marshmallows.
Thanks Jake for your DELICIOUS challenge!
I nearly missed this week because following didn’t work, Eat, Travel, Photograph, didn’t appear in my reader, but then I saw Elisa’s Challenge on Livvy’s Blog So this is my entry for Chasing the Sun, the Exe really is a great place for it.

Ailsa has chosen Animals to mark World Animal Day on Thursday, 2 days ago. I was very privileged to be able to visit Sepilok, Borneo to see the orang-utans, really high on my ‘do before I die’ list. I hope you like this beauty! 
Not a bad start to the day.
The 8.10 from Belfast arrives on time.
Shiny Happy People! I hardly ever take photos of people except for family so I’m pleased to be able to display some of the ones I have taken. If you would like to join in, visit http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/weekly-photo-challenge-happy/ where there will be lots more happiness.
Have a Happy weekend.
http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-3rd-week/ Sandra has shared memories of windows in American schools, which apparently were the same all over back in the day.
Mine is in Topsham, just down the road, this florist always has a great display.
Will you join in this week? I’m sure you have some great window shots!
It never pays for me to think very much. The more I think about contrasts the more confused I become, but I think I have a good eye for colour somehow. I’ve chosen three shots, hope they work and happy to hear if they don’t.
A crazy plant that I have forgotten the name of.
I’ve posted this image before, it’s one that I created from a black and white photo of a large sculpture, so cheating really!
So for this one I have only cropped out some excess green on the left.
Come and join in, there should be some stunning colour to be seen at http://ceeslifephotographyblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/cees-fun-foto-challenge-contrasting-colors/
