Counting Crows - Monkey

I have nothing vaguely intelligent or funny in mah brainz today, so here, have some monkeys(!):

Yeeesss? May I help you?

It's a long way down!

Getting ready to pounce...

Lunchtime is my favourite time!

View my "Monkeying Around" set on Flickr to see more monkeys.

The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

I never cease to be amazed at how many different colours and moods the sky can be.

Here are a few samples from "1000 Acres of Sky", my set on Flickr. Enjoy:

Yesterday I Did A Cry.

But today, Chloedog found a hedgehog in the garden and we fed her raisins, water, peanuts and Pedigree Chum Schmackos. Chloe kept looking for the hedgehog every time she went out into the garden, she was sniffing everywhere for her. I took some photos, wrote some non-scary post and it was sunny.

Every now and again, I get overwhelmed by the amount of music there is in the world that I like, and that I can't possibly listen to All The Songs at the same time. This happened today.

I also want to travel to All The Places, but I can't and that is sad.

So instead, I have just spent hours looking at them on Flickr. I have come up with some ideas of stuff round here that I'd like to take photos of, which is good I guess. My photography course starts in 6 weeks but I've already got the DVD through.

Tomorrow I begin my last week of working 21 hours and I will drop back down to 9 hours again. Which gives me lots of time to do All The Things, but not so much money. Swings and roundabouts. Oooh, maybe I will go to the park and take pictures of swings and roundabouts.

This is not a very linear entry.

I have "Heavyweight Champion of the World" by Reverend and the Makers going round in my head. Be like everybody else, be like everybody else, be like everybody else,  just be like everybody else.

Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Stalk me on Flickr :)

I just bought a new DSLR (Sony Alpha A390) and I've never had one before, so I'm looking for all the tips I can get, please!

Jessie J ft. BOB - Price Tag

Helloey!

This is the obligatory introduction post, I guess. Which are inevitably boring and self-indulgent. Mine is no different.

My name is Emmy and I like taking photos of All The Things (and All The People and All The Places in the Woooorld), Lady Grey tea (with milk and sugar, I'm a heathen), playing with my doggies (a choccy Lab called Chloe and a black American Cocker Spaniel called Diesel), baking cakes and cooking tagines, the beach, the sunshine, tulips, sunflowers and orchids.

I like any music from Stone Roses to Tchaikovsky to Abba to Eliza Doolittle.

My photos are HERE and HERE and my Twitter is HERE.

I'll post something better next time. Promise.
