wondering–breadth or depth

I’ve been thinking about learning new things – how many courses and workshops are available and how to choose (I’m signed up for 2 in February that I’ll share mid-month). 

and it got me to thinking about the choice of knowing ‘something about everything or everything about something’.  I’m definitely on the ‘something about everything’ side of the continuum – what about you?

totally unrelated photo but it makes me smile – public sculpture in Dundee – penguins because of the city’s connection with ships that explored Antarctica (OK perhaps there is a link – I like to know something about all kinds of things!)

Zoom in on the waves

more shots over the Firth of Forth today - looking towards Edinburgh this time. I was fascinated with watching the waves form as the hightide hit the sand which is full of birds at low tide

while I was zoomed in on the waves a flock of birds flew back an forth just skimming the water so I've used them for a second pair - zoom and double zoom (on the computer)

Looking forward to another lovely range of subject matter from all of you lovely ladies who are sharing this meme - I smile each time I see another link added - thank you.

smile magic

I can’t help but smile when I see a rainbow

I remember, a long time ago, when I lived in Liverpool – I was going home on the bus on one of those grey days when everyone feels subdued and the bus turned the corner and bang in the middle of the view out of the front window was a big rainbow and you could feel the whole bus smile and perk up.

I had thought of using this for zoom in, zoom out.  But, mindful of all the media chatter about the Mondays of January being the most depressing of the year, I thought I’d share the smile magic for the last Monday of January.

choose

One of the ‘entertainments’ we organised for Christmas was a sheet of pairs where you had to choose one.

Some were very specific to family interests and knowledge – Warhammer : lego

Some were the least worst -  sarcasm : anger

Some were straight forward – sweet : savoury

here is part of my sheet – I highlighted the option that I prefer.

What about you? which would be on your bucket list of things to see northern lights or solar eclipse ?

would you rather read the book or see the film?
