1 Day 1 World Project

1 Day 1 World Project : 11.00- 12.00
Crimdon beach

Thursday is usually my Nordic walking day.  Sometimes there are just a few of us, like the happy band above.  The others missed a treat last week because, for a short while, the sun beamed and winked in the puddles left by the retreating tide.

I love the ruggedness of the landscape

Don’t you love the ruggedness of this landscape?

And the murky reflections

And the murky reflections that it creates

The strange shapes of the cliffs

The strange shapes of the cliffs

And the rocks beneath

The rocks below

With their seaweed frocks

In their seaweed frocks

And crooked seams

With slightly crooked seams!

I thought I had a good subject here for Lisa’s 1 Day 1 World Project.  We start walking around 10.30am, and I intended to use the photos in last week’s 10.00- 11.00 time slot.  When I uploaded them, I realised I hadn’t started taking the shots till after 11.00!  Too busy Nordic walking, and talking. (naturally!)  Well, I guess that’s what we’re there for.

It’s sad to see this project come to an end.  Even though I haven’t managed to take part each week, I’ve followed it’s progress.  Lisa promises one last round up next week, and as a grand finale I really have to have one more play with Lunapic.  Don’t I?

And because Thursday’s Special, and Paula’s home, I’m linking up there too.  She has the most delicious night time shot and if you have some spare time you can even enrol in her Portuguese classes too- for free!

I’m being a little bit naughty this morning, but hey, it’s Sunday!  I’m allowed?  I just have time to squeeze in two challenges before I go walking again tomorrow.  The forecast is wet so I’ll have to take the sunshine with me.

Do you have a favourite?  Or some leaves to share?

I’m contributing to Festival of leaves- week 3 and also squeezing in a last minute entry to 1 Day 1 World Project 9:00 to 10:00.  I should just get away with the latter because Lisa is all the way over in Seattle so way behind the UK in hours. I’ve been meaning to rejoin her challenge for weeks and time is just slipping away.  I took these yesterday morning, on my way to zumba, in the rain.

If you can squeeze some time, please join in with either or both of these challenges.  They’re so worthwhile.  Happy weekend!

1 Day 1 World Project : 12.00- 1.00am

Can you read the time?  It’s just after midnight and I’m feeling a little tired.  Can’t go to bed though, till I’ve found something interesting for Lisa’s 1 Day 1 World Project.

How about this?

How about this?

The cellphone is very old and battered so it needs a little spicing up.  It’s sitting on a postcard Viveka sent me from Istanbul.  I hope she doesn’t mind.

The watch?  Well, I only have skinny wrists so I often wear a child’s watch.  This is my current favourite and it too has an exotic location.  And the time?  Definitely, time for bed!

If you’re a night owl, Lisa would love your company.  She’s taken to late night visits to the icecream parlour!  Me, I just play with Lunapic.

It's squeaky clean time!

And I've brought a book

Or three!

And a nice glass of red

And LOTS of bubbles!

And LOTS of bubbles!

It’s after 11.00 and time for a bit of a soak.  I’m just about to climb in so you’d better go and see what Lisa is doing at this hour.  After the midnight hour I’ll probably be sleeping.  Even Restlessjo sleeps sometimes!

The 1 Day 1 World Project has been fun.  Follow the link to see more.  Oh, and I’d better say another ‘thank you’ to Lunapic.

1 Day 1 World Project : 10.00- 11.00pm
My favourite clematis

Just got time to squeeze this in, before another week takes over!  I wasn’t quite so adventurous this week, although it was another lovely evening and I would like to have been out and about.

I kept an eye on the time as dusk gently descended and just after 10.00pm, I went upstairs to look out of the back bedroom window.  There are a couple of spotlights in the garden that make it rather pretty on an evening.  Then into the garden for a close up.  It had rained quite hard at teatime and everything had a soft sheen.  Sorry I haven’t really managed to capture it for you.

From the window
And in the garden
A little closer

And very close!

Who knows- next week it’ll probably be the cup of cocoa!  I can’t remember when I had one last.

What were you up to between 10.00 and 11.00pm this week?  Lisa would really like to know. Follow her project on this link.
