Heacham Breakers

Heacham Breakers

Whilst on holiday in Norfolk we visited the lovely quiet beach of Heacham. As i was walking along the beach with Sarah & Bruce i stopped to take this photo. As i have very little sight i still think this looks like a snake! lol πŸ˜€

In Flight

A beautiful shot of a seaful in flight, flying from right to left with a green willow tree in the background.

Β Description

This photo brings back memories of patience for me. This is the longest Β had taken getting one shot. I spent 3 days going down to the local lake and sat patiently on a bench taking about 150 shots per day until Β finally got this one. I learnt that when you can’t see what’s in your viewfinder, don’t take photos of birds! lol πŸ˜€

Snettisham Beach

a sunset with fence

Description

Snettisham Beach Sunset was taken in Norfolk in September 2006 on holiday with Sarah and Bruce. It’s a place I wanted Sarah to see, as I have many happy memories of childhood holidays here. I love to go down to the beach, especially at sunset to capture the beautiful colours as the sun sinks into the sea. I’ve taken many since, but this is still one of my favourites. Β Β

The Sun on The Cross

The Sun on the Cross  PNG

Description

At the Lighthouse last year (2012) while walking into Hunstanton along the cliff top Β we spotted this cross that had been put there by surveyors and as it was only a few hundred yards from the lighthouse we thought we would try and get a nice photo whilst the sun was setting.

If it wasn’t for digital camera’s it wouldn’t be possible for me to enjoy photography and after about 50 photos later and a wait of a few days until i could get home and download the images onto my computer i was shocked to find this waiting for me. πŸ˜€ Β

Joke 4 2day! – The 3 Sons

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting together for Christmas, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.Β 

The first said, β€œI built a big house for our mother.”
The second said, β€œI sent her a Mercedes.”
The third smiled and said, β€œI’ve got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can’t see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He’s one of a kind. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it.”
Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks:
β€œDear Milton,” she wrote one son, β€œThe house you built is too huge. I live in only one room, but I have to keep the whole house clean!”
β€œDear Gerald,” she wrote to another, β€œI am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes.”
β€œDearest Donald,” she wrote to her third son, β€œYou have the good sense to know what your Mother likes.
The chicken was Dee-licious!”

Christmas Joke – Perfume?

After being away on business for a week before Christmas, Tom thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

“How about some perfume?” he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle costing $50.

“That’s a bit much,” said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.

“Thats still quite a bit,” Tom groused.

Growing disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15 bottle.

Tom grew agitated, “What I mean,” he said, “is I’d like to see something real cheap.”

So the clerk handed him a mirror.

The intruder!

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: β€˜Stop! Acts 2:38!
(Acts 2:38 (ESV) says β€œRepent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins.”)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: β€˜Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.’

β€˜Scripture?’ replied the burglar. β€˜She said she had an Axe and Two 38s!’

Mark 17

A minister told his congregation, “Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17.”

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the
minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, “Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”

The Student & The Professor

A student was sitting outside his university classroom, reading God’s Word, when his atheistic professor walked by and happened to hear the student exclaim, “Wow! Praise the Lord!” Intrigued, the professor asked the student what had him so excited. “Well,” the student replied, “I just read how God parted the waters of the Red Sea so the Hebrews could pass to safety.” The professor calmly explained that in actuality there was a mistranslation and the Reed Sea where the crossing actually took place was, at that time of year, only about three inches deep. Confident he had handled the situation, the professor went to retrieve something from his office. Upon his return a minute or two later, he again passes the student as once more he loudly exclaims,”Wow! Praise the Lord!” Interested, the professor asks the student what is so fascinating this time. The student responds, “I just read how God drowned the entire Egyptian army in three inches of water!”
