Photo A Day: Taking a moment
Posted under Photo A Day 2011
I was suddenly, out of nowhere, seized by a burning desire to learn how to make an origami peace crane late this afternoon. The dogend of a piece of wrapping paper, a quick YouTube moment and VOILA! A crane was born.
Diggy drew the eye on because ‘birds without eyes can’t see’, a point which is hard to argue with. Diggy was all about ears today. MrSpud tried to get his attention this morning but was pushed back with a very firm and not just a little bit whiney, “But Daddy, I can’t take my ignoring ears off!”. Later I blew his perma-runny nose for him which must have popped his blocked ear. He clutched his hand to his ear in surprise and said, “Oh! When you blew my nose, you turned my listening ears on!”.
Here’s my crane having a little rest, recovering from his traumatic birth. Five minutes later he was being zoomed through the air to test his air worthiness/aerodynamic qualities. I don’t think he has long for this life.
Ahw bless! That’s a gorgeous photo Mrs Spud, some of my favourite flowers and perhaps the only origami creation I can still do from memory… :)

I love your blog J. Just wanted to say, it is one of my absolute favourites. I don’t comment often, but I read every post.
And that’s it really. Much love xxxx
Your mind works differently than mine! I have been given one on one instruction, watched utube videos, bought the book, still my cranes are not cranes….Very impressive Spud.
Always love hearing megaboyisms…you’ll be glad you’ve written them down!
The orchid is amazing…what a color! yummm…that’ll brighten up a winter day…think I need one too!
Lovely… can’t say the urge to origami has ever landed in this head… urge to ignore, yes… origami no.
Oh how beautiful! I ADORE your photos! And how funny.. “make a crane” is on my to do list too… was thinking of vlogging it ;-)
Beautiful photo and how quickly did you learn to do that?! Blimey
