Day 188 - Henry and Milly

Henry and I had a fun little photo session this morning in the yard. I took so many that I love, but I keep coming back to this one because it gives me a laugh! It somehow reminds me of the painting American Gothic by Grant Wood. What do you think? I don't know how I managed to snap Henry and Milly standing still together, because Milly really doesn't sit still much. I love how they both look so serious!

Day 187 - TV Dinner

Dale is away at the moment on a 5 day trip on his bike... no doubt you will be able to catch up on his blog when he has a chance to put up some pics. I have enjoyed the last couple of days with Henry a lot and I have tried to make our evening routine as easy as possible... therefore I let him watch a little television at dinner tonight (foregoing The Project!) He enjoyed watching The Night Garden and I somehow captured one of those moments when he looked at me as if to tell me that part was really funny!

Day 186 - Giggles

After a few days of Henry not feeling his usual cheery self, this afternoon he was back in his usual fine form. We visited Sarah and Cooper in the afternoon and with Peta, Olivia (Ava was sick) and Sue there, he chatted away - even more than he usually does when we are out visiting. Back at home later, he giggled away at a video he found on my Facebook page. You may have seen the one with the little girl, soap bubbles and the snappy dog. He thought it was hilarious and played it over and over giggling along. The boy is back!

Day 185 - One More... Two More

I took a photo of Chocolate Freckles for the Photo A Day challenge (today was "fun") as I thought they would make a pretty cool photo. Henry and I did share a couple as well. He did surprise me though when he grabbed my hand and led me to the kitchen to ask for another "coclet". I said he could have "one more". His reply? "Two more!"

Day 184 - My Favourite Part of the Day

I haven't taken a lot of photos today so I turned to the photo a day challenge for some inspiration. After a few days of Henry being sick, it has been a relief to have him sleeping soundly in his bed. So although I love spending my time with him, on a day like today when he has had a rough day, I am happy when he is resting and I can relax! Here's to Henry feeling better and to getting out the camera a bit more since I am on holidays!

Day 183 - A Sick Day

Poor Henry was a little miserable today. I caught him in a quiet moment watching some tv with Little Ted in the picture, but on the whole, he was one unhappy chappy! After a visit to the doctor this afternoon, we had a very painful visit to the supermarket and chemist which included Henry throwing away all the grocery money, waving a $50 note around and then having a very spontaneous nosebleed resulting in half a used up box of tissues and me driving home with blood on my hands, clothes and shoes and Henry with it spattered all over his clothes. What a sight we must have looked!

Day 182 - A Self Portrait

Today's photo assignment was to do a self portrait! As this has come up before as a photo topic, I decided to try and do something a little different. Most self portraits are of the obviously self taken, arm outstretched, face to camera variety, so I decided to get out the remote for my camera and refamiliarise myself with how to set it up to use it. We have used this before, most recently my photo of the day from New Year's Eve last year. This time I set it to manual focus and it worked out better. I love to learn something new! Oh and no, I didn't spill a drop of polish :)
