I have been mucking about with my profile picture for a while. This one l did in photoshop last week- l added some effects to create the moon's reflection on my face. I really liked it but unfortunately when l tried to upload to Blogger the file was far too large and when l downsized it the quality was just not there.
Ironically the next day l was at the beach and my son of four years snapped a photo of me relaxing by the water- it was just perfect.

This photo is of an old church at Croc-an-rear on the Isle of Bute.
On talking with one of the locals here is the story l heard:
It was bought in the 1970’s under the assumption that there would be a renovation. Unfortunately the new owner took off the roof to make a profit on the lead slates, he then continued to ransack the place- obviously made enough profit and so the place stands in ruins now- what a pity.

This was sent to me by a lovely lady friend. It made me smile.
See below:

You may not know this but all nonliving things have a gender.

Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything
in, but you can see right through them.


Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it
takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective
reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed,
but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.



A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often
over-inflated.



A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go
anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of
course, there's the hot air part.



Sponges are Female, because they're soft,
squeezable and retain water.



A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting
hit on.



A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old
lines to pick people up.



An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the
weight shifts to the bottom.



A Hammer is Male , because it hasn't changed much
over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have
around.



A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'd
be male , didn't you? But consider this - it gives a
man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he
doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he
keeps trying!
