I've Lost The Plot

[Lesley Jones]

My husband is going to kill me. With apologies to Paul, I really wasn't trying to copy. In fact, we were rushing to get the animals finished early yesterday evening. I had to go into the utility room to get some clean towels for our very elderly cat - you don't really want to know why...

I've always loved the light coming through the window at that time of day, but yesterday I just stood. And thought it would make a nice photograph. I told myself not to be so silly and carried on. By the time I had Flossy installed on a nice, clean bed, I had decided not to waste the light and I grabbed the camera.

My husband is still going to kill me...

Glad you decided to take this. Not only is the light wonderful but you have captured an element of 'home'. I love it Lesley!

 

[Lesley Jones]

Cheers Pete! Actually... two years ago I couldn't have taken this. Whoever extended the bathroom and utility room over the very large cellar, did so using chipboard. Many washing machine leaks later and things were decidedly dodgy. My husband redid the floors while I was in the Dales for three days. He wasn't finished when I got back. Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night literally meant walking the plank while carrying a torch. Putting the cast iron bath back between us was interesting too...

Nice light - but what is that strange looking device on the wall?

 

[Brian Moore]

That really is nice, Lesley.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Lesley - didn't know you also did extreme ironing - very cool!

I think it's good that people's work on the forum then encourages us all to view things differently, and take that photo we might have passed over before

Great idea and lovely light

Nice light - but what is that strange looking device on the wall?

No idea Dave. I haven't used it for several years. I take my stuff out of the machine and hang it in front of the Aga...

 

[Pete Askew]

You mean the ferrets have to sleep on wrinkled sheets. I'm shocked Lesley!

 

[Lesley Jones]

The ferrets have a Pooh Bear child's sleep sac amongst other things. Actually, that reminds me. They had a Peppa Pig one for alternate weeks, but it wasn't fleece and they trashed it before the end of the first week. I have to look for another one made of fleece. I like fleece. It doesn't need ironing

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's a GREAT shot, Lesley! I love shots like that. It really does give an insight into lives being lived. And it has a stillness which is beautiful. No wonder you were stopped in your tracks by the light. More like it, please!

 

[Paul Lange]

You were right to take this one, the light is sublime.
