It's Easter Time!!!

Really sorry for not posting for a while but I've been really busy and there was a mini drama with my camera, but oh well, i'm back now and here are some Easter themed photos for you to enjoy. I shall be sharing more as the easter celebrations continue :)

Just a basket

Like a lot of women, I have a weakness for a beautiful basket, i'm not ashamed of it. I was sat next to such a basket in the fireplace recently and accidentally took this photo without even looking through the view-finder (I was playing with my new battery extension pack). Anyway, I stumbled across this while reviewing my photos and loved the textures and colours. so here is a lovely wicker basket for your enjoyment :)

'Photo a day' in February week four

Day 23) This is where I relax!.... my bed :) nothing more to say about it apart from the fact that I love it.

Day 24) Half.... i'm a glass half full find of person.

Day 25) Cut.... fresh cut flowers, bringing life and colour into the house.

Day 26) Light..... playing with copper wire at a night shoot.

Day 27) My view today..... standard british weather, a bit of rain and hail to brighten up your day.

Day 28) Reflection.... a simple but effective tree reflection in the lake.

'Photo a day' in February week three

Firstly, I am sorry it's a couple days late, I had an awesome but very busy week, so here it is :)

Day 16) Create..... as i've said before, I love crafts so love to create, here is a couple of my materials for making.

Day 17)Vegetable.... my little rodents love to eat their vegetables, here is one enjoying some green beans.

Day 18) Magic..... (pretty loose link here) when i think of magic, i think of cards and I recently made a queen of hearts costume which involved alot of cards (apologies for the quality, taken on my phone)

Day 19) Feet.... i personally can't stand feet, even my own, so here are my lovely slippers :)

Day 20) Peace..... i think the seaside is the most peaceful place in the world, i'm lucky to live to close to it.

Day 21) Funny...... the funniest man I know (slightly bias as it's my boyfriend)

Day 22) An act of kindness..... a surprise tea party in bed for my boyfriend (again apologies for the awful quality)

'Photo a day' in February week two

Firstly I need to apologise, I know it's only week 2, but i've had such a manic and busy week that I didn't get to take many photos so some of these are old photos that I took and edited.

Day 9) Details..... I instantly thought of Macro, I sometimes work in a little boutique which sells gorgeous pieces. This is a macro photo of a keyring which has gorgeous reflections.

Day 10) I am.... Creative. Every single day of my life I have been doing creative things. I've made most of the things in my home and make most of my presents to loved ones.

Day 11) Mistake.... the many spelling mistakes that I make daily. I think the delete key on my laptop is going to give up soon :s

Day 12) Out and about.... The countryside, I grew up in the deep dark depths of the countryside and lived there till I was 18, this is from a lake right next to my house where my family live. I love visiting it and taking as many photos as I can.

Day 13) Perfect..... receiving unexpected gifts from loved ones.

Day 14) Heart..... Some of my valentines goodies :)

Day 15) My drink of choice..... A glass of red wine. My absolute favourite :)

'Photo a day' in February week one

Day 1) You..... anyone who knows me, knows how I feel about selfies. However there is no denying that they are taking over the world, so even if it makes me a massive hypocrite...... I gave one a go.... here is the outcome, (done on my Iphone in my bed-room in true selfie style) :p

Day 2) Favourite....... Tea!!!! I love drinking tea and anything related to tea waaaaaay too much. I own far too many tea-pots and tea-cups, but I love them all!

Day 3) Something Orange...... Oranges! I am aware of how un-original and un-creative this is but we are on a bit of a health kick at the moment so there is fruit everywhere.

Day 4) Childhood...... Crochet (and all crafts really)! I adore doing crafts, my passion definitely comes from my mum, we would do crafts together all the time when I was younger and she taught me how to crochet. Every time I do crafts now I think of my childhood and the many hours spent with my mum.

Day 5) Square...... I know this is rectangle but i'd never tried this effect before and wanted to give it ago.

Day 6) C is for....... Coast, living in Portsmouth I see the coast regularly and I love it. It offers so many endless photo opportunities.

Day 7) Utensil....... Baking, I've been getting quite into baking recently, there have been a few disasters but they always make for good stories.

Day 8) Water....... Again, living in Portsmouth offers lots of chances to take photos of water, this is one I took while I was in uni and i've always loved it.

I hope you've enjoyed my round up of week one of 'a photo a day' in February. Next saturday I will post the photos taken from the week previous.

A photo a day for February

I thought i'd have a go at this. Sometimes I get so distracted and busy with work, organising lesson plans and general day-to-day life that I don't get the chance to actually take as many photos as i'd like. So I am going to stick to this and actually plan, take and edit at least one photo a day. I shall post a round-up of the week each saturday of the photos I have taken from this list. I hope you enjoy. I know it's saturday today but I will include today's photo in next saturday's round up :)
