| Meet what will soon be my beautiful camera.... |
I am so happy and excited about so many things and all thanks to my two lovely boys and our love of photography and life. You see taking images and having fun is what me and my boys try to do when we are in each others company. So because it is something we all get a kick out of, Anders encouraged me to put a deposit on this Rolleiflex medium format camera and I just can't wait until I finally get my hands on it - am I lucky to have such a wonderful husband or what (the answer is of course yes). I tried it in the shop, and just fell in love, it is just so pretty and I am loving working with film again.
Yes shit happens e.g. Carly has hurt her eye really rather badly which we think may have been as a result of Marvin whipping her in the eye with the tip of his tail by accident, but the good news is it turns out our vet is the eye specialist in Scotland for animals!

| Medicine to help Carly's eye get back to normal |
The accident must have happened yesterday morning when we were all waking up and saying good morning to each other in the excited way we do every day, so we took her round and he checked her out and gave us medicines saying if she is not wanting to open her eye tomorrow and it doesn't show signs of dilating then bring her back in but otherwise bring her back on Wednesday. This morning, her eye is dilating and she is opening it, although of course it is sore for her, it would be for a human too. The key thing is the medication seems to be working, and how lucky were we to have our own vet to be the foremost eye specialist for animals in Scotland - something to be really happy about we think. So glass half full or empty? We think it is half full don't you, but keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way for Carly and her beautiful eye?
So with that, here are some other images that made me happy which I took using my i-phone!

That's great that you can share your hobby with your boys. The camera is wonderful. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI hope Carly's eye gets better soon! Poor pup.
ReplyDeleteHaving a interest that we all share is definitely reason to be happy Deb an thanks for leaving me a note.
ReplyDeleteChrissy, Carly is definitely getting better, hence why I am so happy. You can see she is starting to use it, and her pupil is dilating so Anders and I think she is going to be ok, and on that note, I am off to give her her second of 3 doses of one of the 3 medications she is taking for it!
Cool camera. Hope Carly's eye heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteCool shots today and love the soon to be new camera! I received a Xmas ornament of that same camera this year! Hope your pups eye gets better!
ReplyDeleteThank you (on behalf of Carly too) all for your kind wishes for her speedy recovery. Her eye seems to be taking to the medication so we think she is going to be ok. It is just so lucky that our vet is a specialist, not all vets are with regards to eyes (not that we knew that until we took her there).
ReplyDeleteYep, the camera sure is purdy!
Hello. Just 'found' you on Communal Global! I like what you see. And I see that you have a great taste for good cameras! That Rolleiflex will open up lots of possibilities for you , I'm sure. Have fun.
ReplyDeletePoor Carly, give her time.
Love the shots..."love" is my favorite. Love the camera too!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow great that you can share your passion with your boys! I'm trying to get my husband into the whole photography thing too :) Hope Carly feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim and thanks for leaving me a comment/complement, really kind of you. I am so excited about the Rolleiflex and cannot wait to get my hands on it. I just know I am going to fall in love with it as in the shop it just felt right.
ReplyDeleteJessica, I am glad that you love love too ;-) and my new camera.
Maddy, thanks for leaving me a comment too, didn't see it until after I had left a response to Jim and Jessica! It is great that Anders and Dexter too love photography, Anders and I were laughing today, think we could turn out to be like the Von Trapp's!
ReplyDeleteI love that camera! Hope your sweet pup gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope your dog feels better soon. Glass half full for sure. Lovely shots with your iphone. Love the soft focus.
ReplyDeleteHope that eye heals perfectly. Her progress seems encouraging!
ReplyDeleteAnd what fun to share your love of photography with your kids.
=)
Poor little one...speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that up and down shot!! So great. And I am thrilled to see you back in the phonography!
Congrats on the camera to be...envious here. Looks like an amazing thing just to look at...should be quite exciting to shoot with!! Cant wait to see the images.
This post made me happy. I love your wonderful attitude and outlook! hope your dog feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for all you kind wishes for Carly, I am glad to say, I have just given her her last eye drops for the evening and she seems to be doing really well. She is opening her eye and keeping it open so I think all is going to be ok :-)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you all like the camera and the photographs and that the happiness is spreading.
Poor Carly.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with the new camera.
Hope your doggy gets better. Love the camera.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...a new camera! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope that Carly is on the mend.
Can't wait to get my hands on the camera. Carly is doing ok. The medication seems to be working, but she also spent the whole of yesterday at the Vets getting plasma drops in her eye. The vet took a sample of her blood, separated to get the plasma so she could get the drops as this speeds up the healing apparently. She is still on medication and is going back on Monday. Thank you all for your comments and best wishes, really appreciated.
