Hugh’s Photo Challenge | But I Smile Anyway...

I thunk and I thunk… It’s actually easier to write, using one word inspiration, for me, than to think of something to photograph…

The word… Isolated… Thanks Hugh!

But then I remembered a photo I took, a few months back, on a family walk out at the prom. There is a lovely park on the bank of the Thames here in Gravesend, and in the spring and summer, it is a pleasant place to stroll with the family.

Lil Man takes every opportunity to get out there and kick a ball about so that day was no different… Except there is always that danger of losing your ball when playing close to water…

And lose it he did! His brand new bright orange ball… Bobbing away across the Thames, possibly in the hands of a little Essex boy now…

Though Lil Princess was convinced it would float out, into the open seas, cross oceans, and land in India, where my in laws were at the time. And that they would bring it back, obviously!
So here is my take on Isolated…

Destination – where?

I am so late getting this on e in this time… Sorry Hugh!

I racked my brains, to think of something I could take a photo of, or of a photo I already had that would show something that really scares me or freaks me out, but it was so hard!

Can I be so blunt as to say not an awful lot fazes me… I don’t get as scared by things, as I used to. In fact the biggest fear of mine, nowadays is actually the thought of losing my loved ones, family and friends, not other things. I was so unsure how to capture that in an image.

However, as they do freak out many, even I am not a lover of arachnids… those 8 legged creatures that like to roam, and are around, everywhere, inside and out, especially now!

So, here is a lovely specimen we found in the nursery garden sat swimming in a bucket!

He’s a big un, stretched out, the size of the palm of my hand!

Sorry Judy I tried to be more original but couldn’t get my head around anything else!
