Stories and Photographs of my travels, Tales of friends, family, animals and my life
This week the dictionary has fallen open at the word FACE. There are a few interpretations to face, to face the music, to face someone the face or side of something, to face materaial, to put a brave face on however the one that stands out is a persons face. I’ve taken a lot of potrature photos whilst travelling. Here are some and good luck with the challenge.
Looking forward to seeing see what you all come up with.
Once a week I dip into the dictionary and pick a word that the page falls open at, the challenge is to post a picture or use whatever genre you prefer to share what your take on the word is

Thought for the day..." Nature always sides with the hidden flaw" " Every solution breeds new problems"
" The attention span of a computer is only as long as its electrical cord".
Another New Zealand photo today, and Mount Aspiring which rises to 3033m. It is often called the Matterhorn of the South, due to its similarity. The first recorded ascent took place in 1909, although now it is frequently climbed as it is not too technical.
If you google this address because you are thinking of buying it let me give you some insight into the owner and having lived here for 2 years what needs to be done
Many of you have listened/read to the saga of my rental nightmare – well it gets worse. Having gone to auction once and refused an offer of 500,000 dollars the landlady instructed the agents to have open viewings for another month at the weekend – therefore every weekend for 2 months I had to stay in and oversee proceedings. We had enough and handed in our notice last Saturday. Monday – letting agent rings and tells us that new selling agent has taken over. Monday night 5.15pm old for sale sign is taken down and new one goes informing the world that there is another auction on 8 June. Again no one consulted us! We had already booked removal van and arranged – steam cleaning organised for the 8th – what can I say – was not happy. New estate agent comes around and tells us that we have to endure another 4 weeks of open viewings on Satuday and Sunday.
So for those of you who may be thinking of buying this property here is a low down on what needs to be done to this place from someone who has lived here for 2 years:-
Windows are single glazed and let in draughts. Glass in bedroom one cracked, hole in window frame in bedroom two. Just check the windows out carefully
The plumbing gets blocked on a regular basis and the plumber has informed us that they would have to talk to the neighbours and work with them to sort it out – ie expensive.
Cheap DIY job in bathroom and toilet and floor tiles are cracked due to poor levelling.
I had to use waterproof tape to stop kitchen sink plumbing from leaking.
Outside patio area concrete all cracked.
No wind proofing and doors have gaps.
No heating apart from lounge
dodgy gas fire
Mice problem
no lock on side gate – despite maintenance report being put in in January.
House has no real storage, needs renovating and repainting.
My advice – look around at the market and what you can get for the same price or a little more before you think of buying this place.
What? Did you say Mountain?
I started thinking about this and I have lots of mountain pictures, tons in fact. Most of the traveling we do with the family is in the Western and South Western United States...mountains AND lakes, for that matter, are everywhere. So here we go..

Reblogged from Faces and Places and Wide Open Spaces:
Thanks once again to Sue over at A Word In Your Ear for another great 'word a week challenge', this time with the theme - Mountains. The most beautiful mountains I have seen were in New Zealand, a country formed by the collision of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. This collision resulted in stunning mountain ranges and beautiful volcanoes. …
This week the dictionary has fallen open at the word MOUNTAIN. This one should be good for the climbers, amongst us. I tend to admire them from afar after my attempt on the highest mountain in Ireland. After picking my way across bog and fen and climbing 3/4 of the way before having to crawl up on hands and knees because it was so steep, the mist descended so the view at the top was obscured. Sheep bounded past me and goats looked perplexed when my knee decided to lock on the way back down and me and my companion contemplated calling out air rescue. We made it back eventually

Looking forward to seeing see what you all come up with.
