Yes, we do. I should called her 'Stretch' then they would have been stretch marks.

They've been harvesting the winter wheat today. Apparently the combine driver saw a fox with two cubs in the field first thing but luckily they escaped - the man with the shogun is the farm owner - he wasn't after the foxes. He had a few shots at pheasant which were lifted as the harvester went along - while I was there he didn't manage to shoot any!

The harvested wheat is made into corn silage in a sort of giant sausage - had never seen it being done before -clever piece of kit to see in action. In the final photo you can see this years new product on the left and the one on the right is last year's which is in use now.

It's funny how cats choose their owners like that - it's happened to me many times over the years. I have a great affinity with them. My oldest cat, Teo is now 18 but still in quite good shape -she's given up climbing trees but she still keeps her eyes open for birds when she comes out to sit with me.

Jen, as Dianne said she would like to see your lady in the train in Sepia......I have done a conversion. I have also done one in monochrome too.
With your permission I will post them...or if you wish I can e-mail them to you for you to post.

They have both come out very well, but then the starting material was very good.

Some pics from todays adventure to Snowdon, not what I`d hoped for, weather was pretty bad and visibility was zilch from about half way up. Some are a bit out of the order they were taken as they were taken with my phone.

This is Pasha..our elderly moggy.
Taking these pics has made me realise that the windows need a good clean.
Pasha's lovely! What magnificent whiskers :)

These are Jen's pics. The ones that Mobertol wanted to see in either Sepia, or Black and White. I have edited them with photoscape so that you can have both and see which you like best.
I have also cropped them a bit too to make the lady more central to the theme.
Hope you like them Jen....and Dianne.

I think they are all good. Misty and Moody.
I especially like the panoramic shots. They are fubulous.

i like them both Margaret ... well done!!!

Glad you like them Jen. I think your shot of this lady was great in colour, but in sepia and black and white it has more drama. It is more 'of the era', so to speak.
As I said the initial material to work with was good.....so it was easy to do.
