Yesterday I gave my Old Camera a good talking to about sustainable farming and how every one must pull his weight and be useful on the farmy. How we are in a cycle of give and take and cameras have to give, give, give. I told him that he is an important camera because he carries your eyes in his lens and without his help, all of you, my readers, are blind. Old Camera has relented and promised to Carry On.
So, yesterday morning the Old Camera and I went out into the freezing fog. Freezing Fog is an insidious mist that reaches out its gentle wistful misty fingers and coats everything with ice. It looks so pretty but it carries a brittle melancholy that is contagious.
So to cheer Old Camera up I am planning a Giveaway of a signed mounted 8×10 Print or a package of Postcards. Chosen by you all from the Kitchen’s Garden Blog. I am desperately trying to talk Daisy OUT of doing the signing but you know how she is! Everything is about Daisy! Because she is the pregnant cow!
So on the day after we reach the 40,000th HIT I will announce the Giveaway. And on that day you can make a comment either here or on the Facebook page letting me know which pictures you would choose. I am giving you time to prepare, because I would love for you to tell me which image you liked the most.
You don’t have to give me numbers and dates. Though that would be very useful. Just describing a shot and the season, will often lead me to it. Now I know that you all cannot win. The winners will be randomly chosen from the PomPom Hattie. But every comment will count because I will note and collate the info from your choices for future reference. We might make a calender for 2013. Plus of course your choices will help me choose the Postcard Collection. 
And Old Camera and I would love to know what images attract you. 
I am not sure whether to offer a print or a collection of postcards for a Giveaway. So maybe today you can help me with that decision. 
SO: Do NOT choose the images yet. This will be done when you hit 40,000 clicks. For now just think about it and help me decide whether to offer a print or a wee collection of old fashioned postcards-the type you can put a stamp on and send.
The choice of image will be hard as you have from July 2011 to make your selection. Keep in mind that not all photos are printable, due to clarity, or size issues. But that is OK we can sort all that out later. The good news is that the image on a web page is at half strength, so a printed image will be so much better!
I hope you like this idea because I am feeling excited about it!
We have the fog again this morning but it is not freezing, just damp. TonTon is grateful. He hates it when the hairs in his ears gets frozen! 
Good morning!

PS. Of Course I will send the package anywhere in the world – As long as you have a Mail service!! c

I love the idea of postcards. If you can’t bear to send them they can also be framed……
I love your misty shots. Maybe you aren’t choosing yet, but they ought to be considered…..
That is a good point. I have been known to frame postcards before! c
Poor cold doggie ears 😦 So many shots to chose from, this ought to be good! t
Morning Miss T, I know TonTon and his frozen ears are so funny! c
Good morning, Cecilia. I like postcards, too, and would prefer a postcard collection to a print. What a lovely giveaway.
Thank you Sharyn, it will be great for me too. I am looking forward to the selections! c
good morning!! postcards for sure 🙂
Morning Mimo. Thank you for letting me know! c
Oooo, postcards, yes. Although a print would be nice…Hard to decide, but my gut says postcards mostly because they offer multiple images and the chance to share you with friends… Choosing only one from so many stunning images would be too hard! Hopefully the postcards would include the link to your blog…Extra-lovely images and beautiful haunting vivid words today. “…gentle wistful misty fingers and coats everything with ice. It looks so pretty but it carries a brittle melancholy that is contagious.” Sigh…
Thank you Maggie. It is time for me to get printing again, so i thought why not share in the fun. c
I cast a vote for a collection of postcards also – a bit of beauty to share with others, or to mat and frame, or a little of each. As for today’s photos, I sure do love that old green pick-up in the fog. You and Old Camera do very nice work together.
Can you see Daisy’s big ears in the background? She is mooing at us.. Breakfast! Breakfast!! c
Oh I do now! And Cecilia, I LOVE this photo!
Lovely idea, difficult task for all your readers!

Might be a bit of fun Christine. Do join in though as they have Mail out your way I am sure. Everyone has a chance.! c
Postcards, definitely. It is work that should be shared with others.
That is a really lovely thought, I shall tick the postcard column for you! c
Good Morning dear Cecilia, I loved this idea, Postcards! Sounds so exciting… There are so many beautiful shots of yours… and I love them all. Thank you, have a nice and enjoyable weekend, with my love for you all, nia
Evening Nia. I hope you had a great day! Postcards certainly look popular! c
They are all beautiful. I would love for you to do a calendar. I have this thing about old barns, so I’ll have to vote for the barn.
I will certainly do a calender later in the year. I will let you know when the voting starts then you can start influencing the calender as well as this months Giveaway. c
Postcards or a calendar…or maybe a free week with you on the farm. I´m easy! What a wonderful idea. And poor little TonTon with his frozen ears…. 😦 What a fantastic and generous idea. You have so many fans out here that it won´t be long now!
the calender I will probably make (with all your help) at the end of the year.. What a fab idea to give away a week on the farmy.. ha ha ha I need that little writers cottage with the outdoor shower! Poste Haste! Mercy, Our Johns list is getting LONG! c
Another vote for POSTCARDS! The frozen fog on Ton Ton’s ears – and the “Oh, the misery!” look on his face are just priceless….so much expression in that dog!
He was told to sit and freeze too, as in do NOT move a muscle, it is his least favourite command! c
Yeah postcards! (And Daisy Daisy Daisy…. reminds me of the Toby Keith country song “it’s all about me, it’s all about I, it’s all about number one oh my-me-my!”) 🙂
Oh that is her for sure!, maybe they need some country out there is the barn! c
Your images are stunning and postcards are my favourite. Your description of freezing fog was spot on. 🙂
Thank you. Freezing Fog is quite a phenomena! Another tick in the postcard column! c
That’s a great idea C!
I love all your pictures, so when the day comes is going to be very difficult to choose.
And thanks for the anywhere in the world clause… I never get to participate in these giveaways ;b
Well, we are a global bunch. And I could not bear to cut anyone out just because they are not in America! There is so much world out there! Thank you Giovanna.. c
