A larger version of one from the rainy days story board





Messing with my wireless remote over the weekend.









Something about this one reminds me of Olan Mills! LOL!

Homegrown stuff!



Nature stuff:

Lots of story boards!

So, this weeks 365 theme on ILP is sequence/story board. I was crazy enough to decide I would do a storyboard every day for a week. I think I have done well, it's Friday today and I have managed 6 of 6 days so far! Yay, go me!

So here they are:

My little man - 21 months!

I am reeling, I can hardly believe he will be 2 in 3 months time. It has gone so fast.... too fast. However, he is such a character, so funny and chatty, I couldn't imagine life without him, no matter how difficult he makes my days, lol!

So, to mark this moment in his life, I have spent a few days taking shots of just him. The first set were taken on a pleasant evening earlier this week. The older boys were inside playing a video game with their Dad, leaving Zack & I to play, lol! The "rainy days" collage / storyboard, was taken yesterday. Zack & I don't get a lot of one 2 one time with homeschooling the older 2. Thursdays they go to the MIL's and Zack & I spend some quality bonding time together.... alone! Yesterday mornings weather was vile, but it presented a perfect opportunity for puddle jumping!

Some wildlife, some life size, some macro!

So after a pretty unenthusiastic July, I am trying to get myself re-motivated. I enjoy wildlife photography as I can leave the kids at home with dh and just relax, so I thought I would spend some time, getting back to nature. I am also really enjoying my macro converter.

This sweet little fox (I know, I know, not everyone thinks they are!) got into a territorial scrap while I was there. The next shot I got of it showed a nasty bite wound to the eye and bite marks on the face :(

July 2010 - the month my mojo went missing!

LOL! July was a hard month. I didn't really feel like getting my camera out, but forced myself to carry on taking at least 1 - usually crappy - shot a day for my 365 project. I did get a few shots that I really liked though

Camping - July 2010

We booked a very last minute camping trip the weekend of 10-12th July. We went to Shropshire, near Church Stretton.
