Day 269: Bright Lights

I actually had to Google what to call the thing I took this photo at - it would seem funfair is the word, but around here we just call them The Shows! ;-p  They're here just now and those of us who are slightly older avoid it because there are too many teenagers about and we occasionally talk about how there used to be so many more rides!  This year, however, I have been twice, briefly, to get candy floss :-D

Day 172: White Poppy

Spent most of today pouting and nursing a burn to my neck (note to self: curling irons are evil and impossible to use and who wants to look like a girly girl anyway, unruly-dragged-through-a-hedge-backwards curls are fine!).  I did catch this while I was outside briefly, and not holding something frozen to my neck, (also, did you know you can make yourself woozy holding frozen things against the spot where blood goes up to your brain?) and the sun was cooperative - I went back to try and redo it and the sun had gone behind clouds - total part timer.  So there is a fuzzy edge which annoys me but it's so dramatic and shadowed and textured and I love it.  I'm surprised it is so good actually because it was done on the compact camera and it seems to have handled the contrast really well!
