This has the potential to become my all time favourite summer photo. (I'm not going to commit to giving it that title just yet though as there are just too many wonderful summer photos out there)!

The funny thing about it though is when I saw it first it was a miserable day and to be honest it didn't really capture my imagine that much. But then when I took a second look it the sun was shining bright and I instantly fell in love! Watermelons are the ultimate summer fruit I reckon (close second is strawberries) and even though you can't see the blue sky or the sun you just know this was a perfect summer's day.

'I am a mother...' by {life through the lens}

I am a mother..., originally uploaded by {life through the lens}.

The power of the blog is amazing. I wrote a post yesterday about how blissful it would be going to the beach with my daughter and after I posted I agreed with myself. It would be lovely to go to the seaside with my little girl so we went to Brighton for the day today and had a fabulous time!

I totally love being a mother and every day my little girl becomes more and more my little best friend. Only eighteen months old but she can be so kind and caring, and she has a brilliant sense of humour. She also shares my love of shoes! (Of course I am writing this post through rose-tinted glasses and completely ignoring any of the training she's currently undergoing for the terrible twos!)

Anyway, I thought this photo would be perfect to go with this post tonight. It's so simple but I think very powerful. Mother is in capital letters as it's so important and the flower lies next to it showing the beauty of motherhood. More excellent work from very a talented photographer.
