Learning New Skills

As I was contemplating the sunset a few nights ago, I started to think back to the promises I had made for myself this year. It was to be a year of action and a year of learning new skills as well as applying some of the old ones in practising painting or drawing every day.

Today I learnt a new skill. Today I learned how to do clay pigeon shooting. For a beginner I didn't do too bad at all. In fact, as you can see from our score sheets, I beat the boys!!!

  9. A great sky photo Simone. Good shot, with the gun that is! My Dad would be so relieved the pigeons were made out of clay. He breeds the real thing, and has enough trouble with deterring hawks! x
