It was a quiet weekend here, not much going on really, although we did go to Richmond Park for a walk yesterday.  We're trying to make a point of going out every Saturday or Sunday morning for a walk somewhere, with the children, so we all get a bit of exercise.  I can't say I enjoyed this walk much as I had new trainers on and they were pinching and rubbing my feet like crazy!  It's blister city today, lol! Still, I got a shot of the deers and some of fabulous trees and logs.  You know I love my trees!

  

 

Don't you think this one looks like a fish?

I've uploaded lots of my photos to Flickr, which you can access via the little widget on the right here.  I still have hundreds to go, but it's good to have them all in one place to view, and I'll be sending the link to family members once everything's there. 

I decided to start joining some groups, and imagine my surprise when I was looking at other members photos in one pool and came across one of my own!  I couldn't believe it, it had been directly lifted from my blog, complete with the smudge spot (my lens has needed professional cleaning for about a year now!), and the view of a sunset from my back garden!  Arrgghhh!  What's with people that they think it's okay to steal?  Copy my scrapbook layouts using your own materials, fine, I have no problem with that.  Let my photos inspire you and then take a similar shot yourself, fine, I have no problem with that either!  But to just steal a photo and claim it as yours, that's not on at all!  I haven't contacted the person because I figure they must be pretty sad to have done this in the first place, but it is sooo annoying!

I don't think the copyright sign I was putting on is helping much, so I've given up with that and just hope I've managed to compress these images enough that they won't be worth stealing! 

Anyway, just a short post today as I've got heaps to do!  I hope you all have a great day.
