Second pic: my first Honey French Bread. Here is where I got the recipe from: Sweet Honey French Bread. I added more honey and cinnamon to the dough he he...And I sprinkled some powdered white sugar on top, too. I baked it for around 20 minutes at 190'C. Hubby didn't like it, but apparently my parents-in-law did. I brought some slices there yesterday and they were gone in no time he he he...
Plus I got to see two squirrels in my parents-in-laws' place. It was hard to get a good pic of them. I only managed to take a pic of one of them 'coz the other one ran away. The one that made eye-contact with me the other time was a bit bigger than this and CUTER, too he he he...I managed to videotape it, too, but sorry I couldn't really hold on to my camera pretty well. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO windy (as you can see for yourself later from the video tapes) and my fingers felt like freezing already even though I wore gloves. It was only 5'C yesterday but the wind made it feel as cold as, if not even colder than, last's week's -0.5'C. BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Here are a few pics of the squirrel first:
I found that the best way to get a clear pic of the little fellow was to actually come near it VERY slowly...and then stop. Then move one step either to your left or right or even move closer, 'coz then it would jerk its head up and be alert. Then I should snap some pics of it while it was standing up like that he he he he...I should learn more about my camera's features. I know that there's a feature for taking pics of things or animals that move fast. Oh well...
Now here are the two videos I took. Sorry it shook a bit he he...but I hope you still enjoyed them.

ReplyDeleteCanon A560? I'm actually not too familiar with different camera types, but it looks GOOD to me. ;-D My friend uses a Canon, too, but an older one, and she's been pretty happy with it. ;-D
Amel,
ReplyDeleteSorry, it has been awhile since i have been to your blog.
The Santa was cute. I collect Santas and Snowmen. I show some pics of the inside of my house when it gets closer to Christmas. You will see how many I have and it is a lot.
The bread looked really good.
I loved seeing the squirrels. I like to watch the squirrels outside my window when I sit at my desk.
