Several shades of blonde LOL

You might have seen this email...love the blondes of this world!

 

 1st Shade:
>
> A married couple was asleep when the telephone rang at two in the morning.
> The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the telephone, listened a moment,
> and said, "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up.  The
> husband said, "Who was that?"  The wife said, "I don't know; some woman
> wanting to know 'if the coast is clear."
>
>
>
> 2nd Shade:
>
> Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the
> pavement and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the mirror,
> and says, "Hmm, this person looks familiar."  She hands it to the second
> blonde.  The second blonde looks in the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's
> me!"
>
>
>
> 3rd Shade:
>
> A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys
> a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the door,
> she finds him in the arms of a  redhead. Well, the blonde is really angry.
> She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, she is overcome
> with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head.  The boyfriend yells,
> "No, honey, don't do it!"   The blonde replies, "Shut up, you're next!"
>
>
>
> 4th Shade:
>
> A blonde brags about her knowledge of American state capitals. She proudly
> says, "Go ahead; ask me, I know all of them."  A friend says, "OK, what's
> the capital of Wisconsin?" The blonde replies, "Oh that's easy -- 'W'."
>
>
>
> 5th Shade:
>
> What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was pregnant?
> "Is it mine?"
>
>
>
> 6th Shade:
>
> A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she
> managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch. "Wow!" the
> trooper gasped. "Your car looks like an accordion that was trampled on by an
> elephant! Are you OK, ma'am?"
> "Why, yes, officer, I'm just fine" the blonde chirped.  "Well, how in the
> world did this happen?" the officer asked as he surveyed the wreckedcar.
> "Officer, it was the strangest thing!" the blonde began. "I was driving
> along this road, when from out of nowhere this tree popped up in front of
> me, so I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to the
> left and there was another tree! I swerved to the right and there was
> another tree! I swerved to the left and there was...."  "Uh, madam," the
> officer said, cutting her off as he looked inside the car, "There isn't a
> tree on this road for 30 miles, that was your air-freshener swinging back
> and forth."
>
>
>
> 7th Shade:
>
> Returning home from work, a blonde was astonished to see that she had been
> robbed. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime.  The
> police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels, and a K-9 unit
> patrolling nearby was the first  to respond. As the K-9 officer approached
> the house with his dog on a  leash, the blonde ran out on the porch,
> shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, and then sat down on the
> steps. Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, "I come home to find all
> my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They
> send me a BLIND policeman!"

MONDAY PHOTOSHOOT:SHADOWS

I quite like the way the shadows(or rather..silhouettes) highlight the sun and the car with its unatural light sneaking attention from the natural light of the sun.Quite by accident...no skill involved here :-)

Holiday at Hogsback

We have just returned from a week long stay in the mountains.As you can see it is a beautiful place.We were hoping for snow,and although it was bitterly cold at times, we even had rather warm weather.South Africas' winters are like that...you never know what to expect.Hogsback is part of the Amatola mountain range in the Eastern Cape in South Africa.It is named after the three peaks which look like a Hogs' back.

Hogs' back peaks

It was a precious gift to be able to spend time together surrounded by Gods' awesome creation.

Day at the beach

We are all on holiday at the moment YAY...two weeks of relaxing and spending quality time together!!!! We went on a fishing trip but came back sans fish....I did get some photos that I thought I'd share with you.I love lighthouses! This one is at Cape Receife (South Africa) and was built in 1851...with more buildings added on over time.

ps...for Guido :-)

Pretty Venus ear (shell of abalone)-from the phyllum mollusca

Meat of the abalone (in a bowl)

My son adopted a Hermit crab and named him Jeffery...(no crabs were

hurt in the taking of this photo :-)

That's my husband flying his kite (LOL...do they ever grow up :-)) Carrie...remember this kite ?LOL

The day was spoilt a bit by perlemoen (abalone)poachers.They are such a BRAZEN and ARROGANT bunch. A policeman rode onto the beach and waited on the side of the shore.We knew he was waiting for the poachers to appear and sure enough five men emerged like crabs from different areas of the surf. They were so rude and the language they used was awful.They had obviously left the abalone in the sea to avoid being caught.We spoke to the cop and he said they are fighting a losing battle...these poachers get millions in this illegal trade and they are doing an awful amount of damage to the ecosystem! The love of money truly is the root of all evil!

But despite that, we had a lovely day and that is what I love about holidays....we get more time to spend with those we love!
