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.

Travel Theme: Animals
http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/10/05/travel-theme-animals/
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! 
This Mornings Window View
Not a bad start to the day.
The 8.10 from Belfast arrives on time.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy
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.
Photo Challenge: Thursdays Windows
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!

Cee’s Foto Fun Challenge: Contrasting Colours
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/
Sunday Post: Favourite Spot
It shouldn’t take too many guesses to work out that my favourite spot is the river Exe! From north of Exeter, through the city and anywhere down to the estuary at Exmouth, I love it.

Music in Pictures Contest: A Whole New World
Elisa at Autumn in Bruges has chosen a sloppy song this week! Pop across to see the video from Aladdin and maybe join in with the challenge! I’ve chosen the fur babies because they are off on an adventure, desperate to chase rabbits in the New Forest, a whole new world for them, with lots of scents driving them crazy.
Travel Theme: Foliage, Return to Rosemoor
Ailsa has highlighted that as we in the Northern hemisphere are entering autumn, those of you down south are enjoying spring. If you follow me you’ll know that I would rather be in constant summer. I’ve chosen to revisit Rosemoor to show you some of the pretty foliage to be found there.
