Weather.

I took these photos in the car on the way to school. Instead of using my camera I used my mum's phone.

The weather kept changing and at one point we spotted a rainbow.

More photos!

Janice Ashworth has sent me two photo's. One for my sky theme and one for my music theme.

The first photo is her sky picture which was taken on the Maldives. It looks a very dark and stormy sky!

I love the drums in this photo and wish I could hear what they sound like! I wonder if they make as much noise as Noah....

Thank you to Janice Ashworth for sending in these photo's.

Lots of circles!

Swirlyarts sent me a photo for my circles theme of a costume she made for her daughter of Joan of Arc with lots of chainmaille circles.

Thank you to Swirlyarts for kindly sending it in. I just have one question, are all the circles hand drawn?

More Photo's On My Music Theme

Clare (LittlemouseLilly) very kindly sent me an email a few days ago with some photo's and some information about how music has changed both with sound and how we buy it.

This is what Clare said about her CDs

'While I was growing up CDs started and it took a while for them to become the popular method from their very first mentions on a program called Tomorrows World (I am sure that your Mum and Dad will remember).'

'My friends and I used to make mix tapes for each other, and the only real way to hear new bands was on the radio, TV, through magazines and from friends - we had no internet. My next musical leap was the Mini Disc but they didn't prove to be that popular and were competing against the early days of the iPod.'

This is how Clare feels about listening to music on her iPod now

'It took me a while to come around to the idea of the iPod - for me part of the musical experience has always included the booklet/song sheet that you get with a CD, Tape and LP. But now I have embraced the digital age and even have an iPod connection in my car.'

Thank you for all the nice comments and especially thank you to Elaine, Ellie's Treasures who sent me a picture of 7" Single she took for the Circles theme. I had to ask my mum and dad what a 7" Single was!! Now I know what an LP is and a 12" Single is.

It would be great if other people could sent a picture of the theme I'm doing as well.
