“The heart’s seasons seldom coincide with the calendar. Who among us has not been made desolate beyond all words upon some golden day when the little creatures of the air and meadow were life incarnate, from sheer joy of living? Who among us has not come home, singing, when the streets were almost impassable with snow, or met a friend with a happy, smiling face, in the midst of a pouring rain?”
Myrtle Reed, Old Rose and Silver
Best is a relative term – meaningful is that place in our memory jogged by the split-second of a photograph. See the year in pictures at Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Your 2012 Outdoors and Nature.
It’s all relative, isn’t it? One might surmise that the things that make us happy are pretty much the same all around – family, pets that think we are the centre of the universe and pets that know they are the centre of the universe, nature in all its glory, a tasty treat, good book or place to put up our feet, simple things all… but when it comes to down to “a few minutes out for (ourselves) and … a place of happiness”, as Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things that make you Happy would have it, right now and usually once a day, this is it.
The blog – in this universe it is one of a few things that we have almost complete control of, it is what makes the gears turn and gets us to be creative – and therefore happy…

Find all kinds of horizontal and vertical this week at Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Lines!
It is not hard some days to feel a certain kinship with this very angry simian high atop his perch – for whatever reason irks us be it the world in general, a constantly ringing telephone or a pesky string of holiday lights where only half still illuminate after three hours and the replacement of every bulb… It’s beginning to feel alot like Christmas!

Who’s been eating my snacks?
Everyone loves a little treat – something sweet or savoury, sour or salty – that little nibble or large nosh to quell a craving or calm a catastrophe. Indian snacks take indulging our tastebuds to the next level – a mason jar of bhel puri is the exotic equivalent on the satisfaction scale of a cheesie (without all the unpronounceable additives)!
This week images are predominantly one colour at Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Colorful Monotone – Have a look at the range of hues, shades and variations displayed there!
Hello and Good Evening, Alastair Puppy here…
Finding a groomer whose idea of doggy beauty matches one’s own is no easy feat it seems. A routine nail-clipping wound up more than a little off the top, some off the ears and an eyebrow trim, leaving our fuzzball looking like a muppet version of PBS host Alastair Cooke or an extra in the classic Monsterpiece theatre. Good thing he doesn’t look in the mirror…

Kiddie colour chart (please excuse the FOD)
Across the Bored realized we had not been quite politically correct after purchasing the gigantic box of “full of peanuts” treats for Halloween. Here’s hoping that all this candy will have disappeared by the time this post for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Orange goes out. Anyone for a Reese’s piece?
The ocean off Victoria serves as inspiration for this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Water. Stand like a child at the ocean’s edge, peer into the shallow pools and dream of tiny mermaids riding seahorses amid the kelp…
Not just a bunch of little flowers…
Hydrangeas used to be in that class of flowers grown in grandmother’s gardens – not any more! With a head over a foot in diameter, this variety is the perfect candidate for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: A Single Flower. More than four species of this bushy plant and enough shades to rival a watercolourist’s palette give gardeners a wide range to choose from. They can be temperamental, the colour deepening or fading with the ph balance of the soil they are in. Having a less than green thumb, I buy them, plant them and hope that they will reappear the next year…
