I’ve really felt like I’ve had a bit of cabin fever so far this late autumn. It’s dark when I’m not at work and I’m running in the dark mornings. Life with the girls is as busy as ever too so evenings are full on. Just getting a daylight walk in the country air with the […]
My Sunday photo this week is one I think about a lot. During our holiday there in 2011, I made this shot of a valley in Snowdonia. I’m calling it – A Snowdonian Vista. I remember the day I made it. We were driving around the mountain road, up and down the valleys and taking in […]
It’s Friday again, and its time for My Photo Friday. My Photo Friday is a place to post and share your favourite photos, whether that be from your local area to your adventures we want to see them all. Adventure Brown and I are your hosts for My Photo Friday so if you want a […]
Last Sunday was Remembrance Sunday. It was also Armistice Day. Furthermore, it was 100 years since the end of World War One. It was an important day, it always is and I shall ensure that our girls live their lives knowing why it is so. But, in commemoration of the 100 years, something special happened – a […]
You may have noticed that I like photography. Scratch that – I LOVE photography. It’s a passion. I love sharing my photography and I love checking out others photographic creations too. Now that my favourite photo sharing linkup is closing down at the end of the year there is a gap in the blogosphere for […]
I’ve always been in awe of photographs of stars and particular the Milky Way. Some of the photos out there are simply amazing, a simple Google search will show you far more amazing photos than I achieved a few nights ago. However, after being inspired by Lewis over at Adventure Brown with his Milky Way photography […]
Back in September, we were on the beautiful Island of Kos in the Aegean Sea. We were there to see our niece get married and I was tasked the wedding photography. As a former wedding photographer, I was more than happy to oblige. But, it’s this photo I shot from the venue at sunset that […]
Photoshop is, of course, the name of the Adobe graphics editing software that has been around since 1990. The word Photoshop has become synonymous with the manipulation of images and used predominantly as a verb in the English language. In many ways, Photoshop has become a household name because of the negative press surrounding the […]
Saltburn-by-the-Sea is somewhere that, until yesterday, we’d never visited. It is sandwiched on the Cleveland coastline between the headland (that separates it from Skinnigrove) to the south and Redcar and the mouth of the River Tees to the north. As we had a rare Sunday free we decided to tick off another little seaside town. […]
Don’t call this a trumpet, because it’s not. It’s a cornet, and Verity and Delilah have just taken them up at school. I think about the line from Brassed Off whenever I mistakenly call it a trumpet and I’m corrected: it’s a bloody euphonium!”. I only recently realised that trumpets are used in brass bands, […]
