365 day sixty four

There are pen pots and then there are pen pots!

 

365 day sixtythree

Turn up the music and just dance……….

Trying to find the brighter side of the constant rain.  What do you think?

Hello, anyone out there?

Well its good to be back and I rejoice in the rays of sunshine currently peeking through the clouds!

Apologies for the long absence, I took a little timeout and visited sunnier shores,  then been catching up on all that stuff that just piles up when you are away, both personal and professional – not to mention the washing and the junk mail!  Depressingly it has rained every single day since our return and I have to say that has magnified the ‘post holiday blues’ by 100%!  I do however have loads of images to share, even thought I did not upload my 365 images daily.  In order not to swam the post I have decided to just to put up some to show you that I have not just been twiddling my thumbs and normal daily posting will resume tomorrow.

I know I said I was doing this just for myself and was not even sure anyone would find this interesting, but it is surprising how many people from the real (non-virtual) world have approached me in the street,  at the school gate, in the local cafe,  at parties or even in meetings to comment on the images.  You maybe a quiet bunch on-line but I am glad to know you are out there!

365 day twentythree

Playing again today with some new techniques, these of the top poles of a teepee structure bound with nylon rope.  I was looking for a shot that I could add impact in the computer – still learning but I quite like this one.

365 day twentytwo

This is a shot I have been thinking about taking for a good few years, don’t know why I took so long to get round to it.   This image is called ‘father and son’ for obvious reasons.  I think this would make a good Fathers Day card image.

365 day twentyone

Just love the light here on my favorite tree with my favorite boy.  Sorry not much narrative at the moment as struggling with a virus!  GGGrrrr.

365 day twenty

Today I revisited the little copse where I shot the motion images to capture the low sun glimpsing through the trees, something profoundly peaceful about this place.

365 day nineteen

I think there must be some sub-conscious message in this image….to trying to have an orderly start to the week.  You know….everything lined up and ready to go!  Love the idea but the reality did not quite pan out that way – spent the day battling with phone companies, insurers and quite a few annoying sales people.  Anyway tomorrow is another day.

365 day eighteen

Mothers Day, had a wonderful time and was very spoilt by my lovely family.  We headed out to capture my 365 image together and came up with the idea of movement.  I have uploaded three images here to show the theme fully.  The wonderful red bundle of colour in each of the images is my son running between the trees with the camera on a long exposure.  I love this so much we are going to have another go later in the 365 challenge.  Let me know what you think.
