My number 45 of my 52 week B&W photo challenge:

I don't think I need tell you what and where that is...

(And it's hard to believe there only seven more weeks to go. )

Do you still think it's a "great" view?

Could be worse ... a trash tip

So what should we expect after the seven weeks are up?  The 'yay' is for the picture

I'm not sure yet.

This challenge is one that my camera club organises most years. It normally costs €5 to enter, with the winner getting a prize equal to twice the total collected from all of the entrants (the club pays the extra out of its own funds). With the fact that the monthly meetings are not in person, but via Zoom (*spit!*) for the foreseeable future, meaning that collecting the entry fees will be difficult, it may be a while before the next challenge starts...

Actor Christopher Plummer dies at 91

Plummer starred in the Sound of Music alongside Julie Andrews in 1965 and went on to earn an Oscar, the oldest actor to win an Academy Award, for his role in 2010′s Beginners. 

Plummer starred in a number of box offices hits following the Sound of Music including The Man Who Would Be King.

In 2010, he received his first Oscar nomination, for the Tolstoy biopic The Last Station leading to a late resurgence in Plummer’s career. He would go on to star in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Knives Out.

He subsequently broke another age-related Oscar record as the oldest actor to be nominated, when he secured his third Oscar nod in 2018, aged 88, for All the Money in the World.

I have.

In 2017 and in 2018.

And also in 2019, but that challenge was only for 24 photos (2 each month for 12 months).

I have entered every one of these challenges since joining the club in 2013. Seven challenges in all.

Well, it's 1:00 am, so cocoa and bed.

Catch you all on the morrow! Goodnight, all.

Here's a little known offering, but one that I quite like. And maybe it fits in well with some of my comments in here tonight:

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious. ❤️

Have you spoken with your veterinarian?

No. She'll just tell me what I already know. My mare is coming to the end of her life.  I'll try to keep her going, but she has earned her rest.

I think you said she's coming on the 29? While that means she can no longer be considered a young horse, she's certainly not super old either, and hopefully could still have a good number of years left.

I said she soon will be in her twenty-ninth year. She turns twenty eight next month. Same age as my youngest son. That's pretty old for a mare. Geldings tend to live longer, but thirty is a stretch for them. Ponies, of course, live longer. Stallions are usually early twenties... to maybe twenty five. Any mare that lives past twenty seven is doing well.

Still nice... off in the distance.
