I didn&#8217;t realize that I still had the aperture set at f22, so the motion blur was a kind of pleasant mistake!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5361323823\/\" title=\"24:365 Skates by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5127\/5361323823_0d441b1dc4.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"24:365 Skates\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lucas and Katie were both pretty happy to help me by posing for this shot.

The child is not yet three, and he will sit and do one jigsaw puzzle after another.  Not just the toddler puzzles either, but the 100 piece ones for 5 to 7 year olds.  It&#8217;s quite endearing, until you have to clean the floors!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5368041565\/\" title=\"26:365 Puzzling by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5283\/5368041565_e1d400c6cc.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"26:365 Puzzling\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Homework time, through the viewfinder of my Duaflex.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/5370799045\/\" title=\"27:365 Homework TtV by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5048\/5370799045_4228bf9cfc.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"27:365 Homework TtV\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I found these berries out on one of my Manotick walkabouts.
