Sorry for the multiple posting, I kept forgetting something!!
Starting to become a habit now, this posting and snapping, and it's wonderful. This past week was really wonderful, and a little bit sad, and I'm glad to have something to look back at. I hope that you are enjoying checking out my pictures as much as I am enjoying taking them. A bit of a process really, deciding what to shoot, how to shoot it, and which light is better, which shadow is too dark, which green is too washed out compared to the other colours around. This week I am going to research a new photo technique online, and I'll aim to have something to spotlight of it by the next time I post for the week! Enjoy...
This handsome (if a bit drooly!) guy is my littlest Godson, baby Nate. Now he's not so much a baby anymore... he hit his first birthday a couple of months ago and now he walks, he babbles, he coos and charms, and he screams like he means it, but he's aaaaaaaaaaall wonderful.
If you have read any of my posts in the last while you will already know that I really am a summertime girl. I like Spring (because winter's over!), I don't really like Autumn, and I hate, hate winter. One particularly cranky morning I decided to get out of the house and go for a drive-then-walk in the foggy morning air. I ended up walking a familiar path down by the river, and was greeted by this beautiful, little bit haunting, morning view. Despite its' heralding of winter, Autumn really is lovely.
I rescued these happy heart stix from the side of the road yesterday when I was out for my crisp-aired walk in the rain. Really, I actually rescued them because I thought they would look beautiful in a photo, and it was WAY too windy for anything productive (as opposed to because they were in any kind of danger!). When they're all dry I'll take them outside so they can spread their little seed pods for spring. But for now, they adorn my window sill!
Candles.
Light.
I am looking for the light in life, to learn more about it, to understand it, to know it.
I am light.
I am lit from within.
This little guy was tucked into the grass, hiding out while I stalked him and his sister with the camera. Unlike those folks who like to hunt and kill, I just like to hunt and snap... pretty little baby.
I love, love, love, love LOVE perfume. I love to wear it, and I think it's wonderful to catch a yummy scent in the air when someone walks by, I adore it. Not to mention that the bottles are often so, well, pretty... (and who doesn't like pretty)
I love the fire. I love to sit next to it, curled up like a cat, warmmed from the outside in and back out again. Sometimes watching the embers are the best part of a fire, as the light sneaks around the logs in fits and starts. Just looking at it makes me feel warm inside.
once again, totally loving your photos... can you guess which is my favourite?? umm, heart sticks! yay!!! and this photo that i'm seeing to my left, in your sidebar, the one that's attached to your blog about the everyday, the one of you walking... love that too... i want to learn some new photo stuff... any website suggestions for me??
ReplyDeleteI absolutely thought of you when I posted that photo, haha, you're inspiring me to see hearts EVERYwhere I go!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally have some thoughts on websites, but being away from my computer for the long weekend (on a shoddy dialup connexion) they've escaped me... when I get back on Wednesday I'll totally pass a few of my faves your way, there's SO much out there!
