TALKING ANNA

Anna has taken to talking a lot. She does it a bit during the day but her very favourite time of the day for a conversation or monologue is 4am :-( I'm sure what she's saying is very interesting and I can definitely see the beginnings of language in her lip positions. She herself is definitely very serious and passionate about it, but I haven't a clue what she's on about!

If you can't see the attached clip (I have been having a problem seeing flickr videos in Internet explorer, though Mozilla Firefox is working fine) then click on this link.

UPSIDE DOWN

Dad got a new lens for his birthday. I took a whole series of Thomas playing with Anna till I got this cool shot. You can see just how much fun she was having with this daring game! ;-)

JASON LEE FLICKR PHOTOGRAPHER

Check out this photographer! Not only are his little girls cute as hell - his photos are so full of imagination. I guarantee a smile! I particularly like his coffee photo. Anyone who has ever lived with little kids will relate to it!

This goes to show - real photographers never ever run out of things to photograph, do they?

A SCENE FROM AN UPCOMING HORROR MOVIE?

Flickr never ceases to amaze me. You upload pretty photos of yourself (well as pretty as you get at my age), your kids and your family and in the first 24 hours you get 2, maybe 3 hits. You upload something as horrendous as this - but which contains a small scrap of human flesh covering everything you would cover at the public beach anyway, and even though it isn't tagged as being in any way naked, you get over 200 hits in the first 24 hours. Odd. Firstly how do people find it? And secondly, why on earth do they want to see it? I must say it has me puzzled, though also amused. Maybe I should try walking down the beach at the moment wearing nothing but a bikini and a face mask to see if it provokes the same reaction?!

STILL ON FLICKR

Mummy, what's daddy doing to you?

I came across this - they aren't shy, are they, these bugs ;-) I particularly like title the photographer chose for it.

Shropshire Star article
Originally uploaded by Chris Brookes.

Since joining flickr I have made a few new online buddies, we comment on each other's photos from time to time. Of the 4 or 5 most frequent visitors to my flickr site is a bloke called Chris who lives in Shropshire. He likes to take wildlife photos and has a self-portrait thing going too - but his latest upload caught my eye - it seems he's made the local paper. I just had to read the article, given the headline!

NYC

Was looking through flickr just now and I came across this amazing set of shots of Manhattan taken with an 11mm lens - wow!
