Autumn arrived today. How do I know this? Not just because it was March 1st, but because I could barely walk to the mailbox without being blown away and I debated making Penny walk herself. Actually I made the kids walk her. Mean Mum.
It's been a long day, I'm a tired Mum as well as a mean one, I was awake all night listening to the heavy rain knowing my baby was trying to sleep in 3 person tent on school camp. I picked her up today and was able to ring the water out of her pillow. She was soaked. She's asleep already.
March 1st has also bought the start of the photo a day challenge and I know a lot of people are doing this along with me.
Today's prompt was 'up'.
I could have done a pile of different things today.
* The time on the clock when I got up this morning.
* The amount of umbrellas up as the kids walked to school this morning.
* The price of fuel (seriously, the most I've ever paid, or perhaps the car was extra empty lol)
* The sky
* The cicada up in the tree trying to pretend it was still summer.
* Penny (growing up so fast).
I chose to wait til the rain stopped and lie under the tree and take a pic. Some of you might argue this leaf looks questionable and I might have chosen it for my 'up' prompt because it looks suspiciously like it may get me high. Um no. It's a maple. It's in my backyard and I lay under it and took a pic.
Not the best pic but I'm not a photographer and I had nil idea on how to take a photo with a glary sky behind. Doesn't matter. That's not what it's about, right?
How'd you go?
Laters

I'm here in the US (in Utah), and it is just a little after midnight. (I figure you are about 20 hours ahead of us, according to the little clock on the side of your blog.) I could take a picture of the clock and say that I am still "Up" at this late hour. Also, you said that it rained in your neck of the woods today. Well, it snowed on us. (I shouldn't complain. It has been an unusually dry winter so far. We could use the moisture for next summer.) :)

Cool pic! I choose a view of Dunners from the top of the carpark building for my 'up' pic. Have thoughts of a mini album for my pics when the month is done.

The geese are heading north here in central Pennsylvania, USA - a sure sign of spring. Yay!

If it's any consolation, I would worry all night too if my little girl was on a wet school camp! They start them young at your school don't they? Ours don't go to camp until Yr5 (then it's only 1 night camped on the school field!).
