'big wheel of fun' by BeliM

I meant to post this fabulous picture last night but incredibly I fell asleep at about 8.30. I can't believe how shattered I am at the moment. Actually, that's a lie, of course I can believe I'm tired. I have a new baby for goodness sake. Well newish anyway, he's almost eight weeks old. Where has time gone?

Anyway, enough about me. Let's take a look at this great picture. I love photo taken at fairgrounds, especially ferris wheels. I think you know that already though as I've posted so many on here! What makes this one stand out is the angle it was taken at. It makes the wheel look huge. Of course I love the colours too.

Hope you are all having a fun-filled weekend!

I would apologise for my absence from my blog this past week but I'm sure you'd probably be more surprised if you'd seen me posting lots. Life with our new arrival is wonderful, if rather tiring. I'd forgotten just what the nights with a newborn were like. It's a good job I'm not the sort of person who needs a full eight hours to function properly.

It's also quite amazing how many jobs I start doing but don't get finished. In fact I've been trying to write a to do list for ages but not got any further than writing 'To Do' at the top of the page. I am therefore hoping I get as far as pressing publish on this post.

I thought I'd share a photo with you today that I just find really pretty. I love the vintage feel, the soft colours the interesting composition. This would look great in a frame on the wall.

Bye for now, I'll post again really soon, promise!

Today is the summer solstice. This means it's the longest day of the year and as of tomorrow the days are going to start getting shorter. I know it will take ages for the evenings to get dark again but there is bit of me that finds it rather depressing that the longest day happens so early in the summer. And especially this year because June has been so rubbish and there have been no opportunities for sitting outside in the evening and enjoying the light.

And talking of light, here is a photo that features wonderful sunlight. The sun has just been captured so beautifully. I also love the angle that the big wheel has been taken from as it makes it look so huge. I'm not sure where this is but I bet there is a fantastic view from the top.

Happy weekend everyone. Hope you have lots of lovely things planned for the next two days. The beautiful weather is still here and I'm hoping it can manage to stick around a while longer. I think a trip to the beach or maybe a barbecue might be in order.

I wanted to show you a photo tonight that was colourful and summery. I like this one because it is indeed colourful and summery. I also love how it manages to have subtle vintage tones whilst at the same time being having bright and striking colours.

'Everthing but the ferris wheel' by Wunderlusting

Here is a photo of possibly the prettiest ferris wheel in the world! I love the pastel pink and the shape of the cars. I wonder what the bottom of this ride is like. I like this photo because it looks so dreamy and I think the clouds in the sky actually make the photos work even better than if it had been a clear day. I like to think that the rest of the fairground would have been just as pretty and full of girly colours and candy floss.
