Photo a Day - Day 5

I've decided to be liberal about when I post my Photos a Day. Since I'm Australian, I figure I can post using Australian or British time :)

So Day 5 - Something I smelled. Parfum of course. Can you tell I have my favourites?

 

Mystery Solved... Richard III found!

It has been rumoured for a little while but today archaeologists confirmed the skeletal remains found under the Council carpark in Leicester is missing, disgraced King, Richard III. The skeleton shows severe trauma to the skull and an arrow in the back!

More news about this seriously cool story can be found here: http://news.sky.com/story/1047231/richard-iiis-remains-found-in-council-car-park

What an awesome find!!

Photo a Day: Day 4 - Hope

So day 4 asks for a symbol of Hope. My first thought was to capture a picture of Great Britain, Land of *Hope* and Glory but then I spotted my daffs. A symbol for the fight against Cancer as well as a bright sign that Spring is on the way.

 

Something Beginning with E

So Day 3 of the photo challenge brings us something beginning with E and immediately my Ewok-looking puppy came to mine.

Presenting Georgie Porgie!

 

My Not So Secret Crush

is of course Richard Armitage ever since "look back...look back at me" in North and South but the loving went up a notch or five when he sang in The Hobbit. He sings! *Thud*

In true geek style, I have downloaded it to my iPhone as a ringtone. Don't judge...

Photo a Day: February - Day Two

Ok so I *meant* to start the February Photo-a-Day Challenge yesterday with much gusto and gay abandon. Then I forgot.

But I'm backkkkk and it's only Day Two. Today's theme? Pattern.

 

I love this challenge.
