2012 - 52 Week Project - Week26 - June 25-July1

[yellalablady]

Half empty or half full that's what we have here. Halfway through 2012. Only 25 more shopping weeks til Christmas. Better get shopping for my present times running out.

[byteme]

I've already got your present Monnie.
Next year you can do this 52 week project again, all by yourself
There...... Now I've gone and spoiled it..............

[mishlove]

Monnie.......I will double the amount I spent on you last year.

This should be week 26...not 25 methinks. Too much Christmas cheer I guess! ~~Peg

.....it does go back a year or so.....with awesome memories of days gone by of people left behind....and yes, life goes forward...

Peg, you are so right. I was excited I was a week early. I knew it was week 25 when I started the thread, but forgot by the time I went to write this post. Can we say BLONDE MOMENT.

The weather in the UK is....... *cough cough* ...... "rubbish" (unless you are a duck!)

In the UK we have an institution named "The National Trust" that maintains some of the heritage of the country. Around the UK there are old estates they acquire and maintain in their previous glory.
Killerton House is one of them, originally built in 1779
So I sheltered from the rain, entered and took this.
No flash allowed, you get seriously told off if you do! (kinda tempting eh!)

John, that's a beautiful image. Love the light coming in through the windows. Gorgeous home too. ~~Peg

Polly once told me that Italy did not have peaches and wanted a peach pie when I mentioned I had made one. This is especially for Polly. ~~Peg

[byteme]

Keep it warm Peg, I'm on my way over.............. *yummy*
Great shot as well, perfectly presented in every way

John

[yellalablady]

John, nice B&W treatment. Lovely room.
Peg, oooh peach pie. I'll have mine with vanilla ice cream, please.

[yellalablady]

Liked this shot of Kaitlyn at the water park. Love her eyes.

[yellalablady]

OK, you guys are messing with me. Peg, it is week 26. See even you had me believing it was week 25. The 25 weeks left is for Christmas. There's a week after Christmas to make it 26 weeks til the end of the year.
Willard, here's the thread. I was sure I had stickied it. Maybe not.

[Edvins]

Oh boy...have missed so much of your posts here lately that I don't know where to begin but am happy to be taking some pics again and trying my best to get out of the funk I'm in and catch up with you guys.

All y'all pics are just great

Here's a crepe myrtle tree bloom just outside my front porch.

[yellalablady]

Nice capture, Ed. I love Crepe Myrtles. I have two in my front yard.

[willard3]

Nice tonal range in the b&w, John. You got all the grays.

If you haven't cut the pie, yet, save me a piece, Peg.

I will hear no bad-mouthing of chipmunks......this one had his eye on Booker T and me....

[Ima Hack]

All y'all pics are just great

Looks like you learning the lingo down there Ed. Nice flower shot.
Peg that pie looks scrumptious.
Really nice b&w image John.
Monnie your grandaughter looks like one happy kid.
Willard I will withhold any and all heinous remarks about your little rodent friend.

John-love the B&W of Killerton.

Peg-Mmmmmm,can I have cream please?

Monnie- a lovely natural portrait.

Ed-beautiful colours

Willard-I don't know enough about Chipmunks to badmouth them and this one looks quite cute IMHO.

Paul- no other word but Wow! We live in a beautiful world don't we.

[Kiasmum]

We've had such an awful Summer so far, and I can't remember the last time we had such a beautiful sunset, so it would have been a shame not to have captured this one from Monday evening.

Just like riding a bicycle, Paul...the lingo is coming back from when we lived here in the 80's

Peg, Monnie, Willard...I agree with what Paul said...good shots

[Edvins]

Good night Irene!!!

Your grandson looks just like Winston Churchill
