Mojo was out and about everywhere by the looks but Rosie was a bit more reluctant to venture outside into the screened enclosure. I have my theories on this. The fortnight we went away coincided with some pretty hot weather. Glenda is kind enough to air condition the indoors on those really hot days. Mojo loves the heat but Rosie, like me, struggles with it and prefers to stay in cooler temperatures. It really wouldn’t surprise me if she stayed inside purely to make the best of the cooler temperatures.

Thank you very much Glenda!

So of course, I went for my usual victim and I’ve started a new Macro Shots set on my Flickr stream. I took a fair few, love the rapid fire that I can do with the 40D. So if you’re bored, that’s where you’ll find the new macro stuff – the old stuff, well it’s just in the photostream somewhere to be sorted at a time to be arranged in the future. For the uninitiated, that means never.

Do you think she's flipping me the bird?

I took this one on my old Panasonic after about 50 shots in macro and to be honest, I can’t even remember what it was I was trying to capture. I guess I was feeling a bit fussy like Rah and wanted it to be just right. Regardless of what I was going for, Rosie demonstrated quite nicely that even a poser has her limits – no more photos today thank you!

I do like photography and fiddling on computers though, so it made sense to give digiscrap a try. I started doing a paper scrapbook for my mum’s 60th birthday – she’s 62 now and it’s still a work in progress so I guess you can figure out how well I did with that. I did like fiddling with the layouts and such but my main problem was that I tended to cut the photos out and such and then decide that it would have been nice to keep some of the background in as well. I know the whole saying about measuring twice and cutting once but I never seem to be able to do that. That’s the brilliant part about digiscrap – you can crop photos as much as you like, fiddle around, change your mind a billion times until you get something that you feel is just right.

I found a lovely free wallpaper from Digiscrap Depot and turned the photo I had of Mojo into a sepia and came up with this page. So what do you think?
