Don't you wish you'd thought of this one?

In my Google homepage quotes of the day:

I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top.

Windflower
Originally uploaded by Debbie G.

It was a lovely spring afternoon, and I was given an unexpected afternoon off from my usual meeting with friends for dog walking, so I took my beardies and the camera into the garden. I spent some time weeding, though the ground is still mostly too wet to do much. The boys came and snuffled at me companionably and padded all over the beds with their big fat furry feet.

I then spent a happy hour or so on my stomach, photographing the blooms. The results are behind the cut, except for the one you see here, the windflower, which is my favourite shot of the day.

Various early April Fools things

That LJ news post really had me going for a minute... phew.

And Flickr seems to have their cats on Explore thing again. At least, the last time I checked, all my cat photos were suddenly in "Explore" so I suspect we'll see that again. It's worth checking out, if so - last year it was hilarious to see 500 cat photos in the "interestingness" pages.

Edit No cats, this year, but "Scout" (the app that lets you see what photos of yours are in "Explore" at any one time) is showing ALL your photos, in order of "interestingness" - so I as of today have 435 photos in Explore, with my Robinson on Mountain as number one.
