Painting Clouds

This blip is dedicated to Yearofhappy and all her wonderful Contentment and Giddiness, with a tip of the hat to Jack Lloyd and his inspirational Jackology.

I've been forced to blip this out of petty spite and jealousy. Here is Yearofhappy's secret weapon! She lives under this giant cloud paintbrush that is cunningly disguised as the chimney at Salt's Mill. Come the evening, whenever she gets a bit desperate for a blip, she summons up this device to start painting her clouds to order. Personally, I'd call that cheating, but I have to concede that she works them up into cracking good blips. As for the Lloyd, he tows one of these devices around with him. I'd call that cheating too, but he deserves the stars he gets from me for sheer audacity!

It's been very hectic since my major software update. It's gone pretty well but there are always minor niggles to be addressed. Just about got all those sorted now. Heading off this very minute to lead the A ride with the cycling club. Volunteering to lead is my way of ensuring I don't get dropped. Mind you, I'm still going to adopt the strategy of leading from the rear. It's getting to be very hard work on the front of the bunch.

PS Take a look at Appertunity's blip from yesterday. Awesome at every level mate - and nice one for getting second dibs on Yearofhappy's clouds from last night!

Technical note: There is no technical note! This is straight from the camera, not even any cropping involved. All a good blip requires is a bit of patience and getting on the right side of the Gods!
