'Spring snail' by Me

Spring snail, a photo by PhotoPuddle on Flickr.

Today was an absolutely beautiful spring day. I have two vases of flowers in my house at the moment so the lovely sunlight meant I just had to take some photos of them. My daughter and I also got up to all sorts today where photos were taken including a trip to the park, painting, eating ice cream and playing in the garden. I also had a good photo day with my polaroid camera and took lots of pictures with that too. But when sorting through the images tonight I found that this is actually my favourite shot! We had lots of fun watching this snail make it's way across the patio. I've never really studied a snail up close before. It's quite fascinating! Hope you had a lovely day today too.

'Balls!' by Me

You'll be pleased to know that yesterday's bad mood was gone by this morning. The lovely weather helped of course! I was hoping for a paddling pool day as it was so sunny but a bit of a chilly breeze turned it into a ball pool day instead. As you can imagine a toddler with paddling pool full of balls did mean lots of throwing them about. No matter, it just made for a good photo. I like this one because it looks a little bit surreal in a way. Probably because I took it from so low on the ground. I also like it because it will remind me of happy summer days in the garden.

'My girl in the garden' by Me

Feeling a bit more excited about my own photos today after a bit of a photoshoot with my little girl in the garden yesterday. I am sure she must groan to herself when she sees me coming with the camera. She just wants me to play not follow her around the garden hoping for her to do a really cute smile or something!

Here is one of my pictures from yesterday. I love it because I think it makes her look really grown up (she's only 19 months old). And it makes me curious about what she was looking at on the floor. Also I am very impressed she was keeping her sun hat on.
