My friend, who hosted the Bible study, was absolutely over the top about this particular study & invited several of us to join in. Gotta say, it was good - but I must not have been in the right place for this study to have a deep affect on me? There were parts that were good, but as you said - her enthusiasm sometimes just doesn't seem real (to me at least).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989147951807102134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-16205672280818773112014-01-09T21:22:02.039-06:002014-01-09T21:22:02.039-06:00I watched only a couple of the first episodes of t...I watched only a couple of the first episodes of the first season and never got back to it..

That's a great little lens, isn't it? <br />I scrolled back a few posts to read a few of your chatty musings and noticed how popular "Downton Abbey" is over there!! In England, it's been having mixed reviews because it's so slow-moving and the dialogues have been criticized. Oh well, not everyone can be pleased all of the time! I'm still enjoying it here in Switzerland where I live.<br />Looking through friendly comments on my blog, I can see very nice Christmas greetings from you and I'm not sure if I returned them, so now I've come in to wish you a wonderful 2014!<br />My favourite 50mm shot is the one of your dog wanting to play ball inside. Your focus on his nose is spot on and I love his eyes and hair in soft focus!<br />Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-7663739151235627602014-01-08T21:59:41.620-06:002014-01-08T21:59:41.620-06:00I like quiet thought provoking like the spruce in ...I like quiet thought provoking like the spruce in the snowy landscape . . . inspiring.

Sounds like you had a full day, I watched Downton but thought it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. I don't know it seem so go on a lot about nothing. I did enjoyed Anna and Mr Bates interaction and also Edith new roll but the fact that Lady Cora went ahead and hired the new Lady's Maid just didn't seem like it fit in right with me especially not consulting Mrs Hughes. I don't know it just seemed like a strange plot for the most part all the way around. <br /><br />I love the bird on the fence shot and the show images are awesome.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396511308261929211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-84120989009069461442014-01-08T19:34:04.051-06:002014-01-08T19:34:04.051-06:00Love your honesty here.
