This week in iphone pics and a Freebie :)

 

Here are a few photos caught by my iphone this week:

Yup, uh huhn… I’ve been waiting for this day to come.  My first pair of glasses. Ever.  Well, other than some dollar store reading ones which I used for tatting.  That tatting thread is tiny don’t you know?  Only it seemed to be getting tinier and even a little fuzzy at times.  Or perhaps the lights in the house were failing.  Or…

I need glasses for reading and I need them for “distance” when driving too.  I wound up buying these online from clearlycontacts.ca.  Excellent service and had them to my door via courier within a week. And your first pair is FREE.  Really.  If you decide to try them, let me know, they have a referral rewards program and I’d love to be your “referrer”

I felt honoured to have held this beautiful little sparrow.  It flew into our front window and stunned itself.  I let it go after it had a few moments to recover.

Here is a small series of lupine photos – I culled these out of about 20 that I took upon the urging of my Mr. a few days ago when the conditions were perfect.

Notice the BIG FAT blobs of pollen Mr. Bee has collected on his legs!

  8. Love the sunglasses photo.

    Can't cope with the bird photo though - I have a bit of a phobia about birds and feathers!
