'Greendoor' by jimj0will

Greendoor, a photo by jimj0will on Flickr.

This photograph is a great reminder that there are beautiful photo opportunities all over the place, you just have to look for them. This is a gorgeous shot and very well spotted. I love the green and I especially love how the colours of the door match the colours of the plant beside it. A would describe this as a vibrant yet subtle image.

Well what a difference a day makes. Over the past few days I've been feeling so emotionally and physically drained. Everything's been achy and I've just been feeling really down. Today, however, was a good day! The sun has been shining (a bit anyway), my daughter and I had a lovely day with friends and generally I'm not hurting as much. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be a good day too. It seems like such a cop out to blame hormones but seriously these extra little buggers floating around (or whatever hormones do) don't help make pregnancy a smooth ride.

I love this particular picture because it's been captured at exactly the right moment. It's great how the photographer has managed to get this shot just as the curtain is blown away to reveal that stunning wooden door. I think all the vibrant colours are fantastic as well. It can't have been the most beautiful of days weatherwise if the wind was blowing this strongly but that doesn't stop this being a fantastic photo. I have to remember to think like this photo if I'm having a hormonal moment. There are often blustery grey days but behind that life is still beautiful and the sun will come out again tomorrow.

Happy Monday everyone! I was meant to post this weekend but we were so busy with various friends and family visiting I just didn't get the chance. Not to mention I didn't have the energy. Entertaining is a tiring business, especially when you are 19 weeks pregnant.

This is just one of those photos where I can't really say why I like it - I just do. I love it when people can see beauty in the every day things around them. And this also demonstrates how you don't even have to see the sky or the surrounding area to know that it was a bright sunny day when this was taken. Well it looks like it was anyway!

Hope your week has started well. If not then don't worry, only four days until the weekend!

'Summer dress' by Me

Summer dress, a photo by PhotoPuddle on Flickr.

A few months ago I told myself it'd be the summer of the dress but unfortunately it's not kind of happened. I've been wearing skirts and dresses if I'm out of an evening so a big pat on the back for me there but during the day it turns out I'm still and jeans, leggings and shorts type person. This photo is of a dress I bought in April which I've only worn once. I blame the weather, I'm sure I'd have been more up for dresses if it'd been warmer! I like this photo because it was a random one. I just saw the dress hanging on the back of the door and though it would make a nice shot... and I think it did!

'tulips framed' by penwren

You may remember in a previous blog post that I was talking about how tulips used to be red. Read it here if you haven't seen it already and want to know what on earth I am going on about! Well anyway, today I came across this gorgeous photo which totally describes what tulips looked like to me when I was a child! Big, bright, bold and red! This is what comes into my head when I think of tulips.

I like this photo because of the great flowers but also because of the frame the door makes. It's like taking an illicit peek through the window and catching a glimpse of someone's gorgeous home. And a simple thing but I just love the table cloth!
