We had a cold night, and the water in our water barrel froze and created beautiful art. These photos have not been edited, this is what the camera caught…

Detox from the computer
I’ve spent six days at my summer-house, this time was spent with out a PC with me, as I got a new one yesterday. Actually, it was good to be away from the net, and social media. I spent hours outside, taking photos, spending time with family and relaxing. I also got a new cat a week ago. Tinka is a lovely little kitty,12 weeks old, she is so sociable. I’ve also spent time getting her comfortable in her new home. No is time to get back to business :-). It is a wonder what you can discover from the nature when not in a hurry. Here are few of my discoveries of the wonders of spring and Tinka and Oliver

Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Yellow
I find yellow a challenge to photograph, mostly my yellows are flowers. These are from my archives, as yellow is not available in the nature at this time. Here are few OK shots, in my humble opinion, at least they are yellow.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold
How to get this in a photo, with no explanations is going to be hard, so I’m not going to try. These boys tried and tried and succeeded in staying up on as the surfed. I spit second of time was captured, Re-surfing from under the wave
