We went to do our grocery shopping today and stopped off at the library on the way so Sandra could collect a book she had reserved. The library and its surrounds are a constant source of enchantment and fascination to me. I always seem to find something that inspires me, and today was no exception. I was fooling around with my iPhone camera and snapping photos of myself reflected in the car wing mirror...seedsower has started me on something with the whole selfportraiture thing! Anyway, these are the two I snapped...

The first one, I didn't know that the flash was still turned on before I took the snap, so you see a flare in the bottom corner of the mirror. I like to pretend I caught a fairy. LOL In the second one, I turned off the flash, but I actually like my facial expression in the first one, better.

Then, something amazing caught my eye...or met my gaze or... looked my way and I was out of the car in a flash to snap a photo of it!

I think this is a tree spirit! She was looking right at me and I had to take a photo. Isn't she beautiful?

So that was my adventure for today. Hope you enjoyed seeing into my day for a moment or two.

This weeks challenge was one that I suggested to Seedsower and the theme is clouds. The photo has to either feature clouds, or depict the person with their head in the clouds. I think I managed both with the following two pictures.

I am a week behind on these, and managed to miss doing challenge 4 so here is my take on 'motion.' I admit, I borrowed from seedsower on this one as I liked the idea of trying a 'twirling' photo. Here are my two results. I like one better than the other as it is clearer, but posting both anyway.
