Hooray it's summer! I know techincally it's been summer for a while but weather wise it feels like it's finally begun. I have had a lovely few days in the sunshine and a quick peek at the weather forecast shows me that it's meant to stay nice this week too.
Weirdly though I've not actually taken any photos in the past few days so I'm going to show you one I took a few weeks ago down on the beach. It can be really hard to get a decent picture of my daughter as she's not one to sit still and pose. In fact this one sums her up really well, especially when we're on the beach. My favourite bit of this has got to be her pigtails flying in the air.

'beach huts' by Hamish1979
I generally like to blog something different each day but today I'm afraid I'm going to show you another Southwold photo because it's rather lovely. I love the beautiful light as the sunrises. It shines on these stunning beach huts as they are all lined up ready for a day of action by the seaside. They do kind of look like they are lined up ready for battle - except of course there can't be much of battle needed to chill out in a beach hut by the sea.
Happy weekend one and all. I hope it's a beautiful one.

'southwold suffolk' by plot19
I may get the opportunity to go to Southwold in Suffolk later this summer and must admit I am rediculously excited! Silly really but I've got it into my head that it's going to be just so pretty there. In all the pictures I've seen it just looks like the perfect british seaside town. And of course there are many lovely beach huts there. If I do go I will definitely be sure to take a lot of photos. Hopefully some of them will be as good as this one that was taken there. It's such a peaceful and beautiful image. I love all the soft colours with an almost pink hue. Yes, it definitely make me want to got for a visit.

'Summer dress' by Me
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!

'Orange Gerbera' by Rixoon
When I saw this photo I did just think "Wow"! It's really so striking. The colours are fantastic. In general I'm not a huge fan of orange but I love seeing it used effectively with other bright colours. The best bit about this is the water droplets though as they really add something to the picture. I think taking photos of flowers in the rain is a great thing to do. Hopefully, I won't be able to do it again any time soon though. The rain has stopped here and the summer appears to have arrived. Hooray!

'The view from Zetland' by Lyle McCalmont
I've had a bit of a stressful weekend - don't worry nothing major, just my two year old acting a teenager. So moody!!! Anyway, thought I could do with a nice peaceful photo tonight. Isn't this just so lovely? I'd love to be sitting there right now just relaxing. This photo is great because it's captured that tranquil mood just perfectly. The light and tones of this are lovely too and the composition is just right. Ah, I feel much more relaxed now.

'Bag of Popcorn!' by J-J-W
A bit of Saturday night nostalgia today I think. Don’t you just miss going to rent a video, especially on a Saturday night? I know the likes of Blockbuster still exist but it’s not the same any more now, in fact most of our local store is filled with DVDs to buy and computer games. But I remember many years ago when going to the video shop on Saturday night was actually rather exciting. It was always on a night when you would decide – shock horror – to stay in! It would either be with your friends for a movie marathon (once my friends and I did six films in one night!) or with your boyfriend or girlfriend for a romantic night in (often involving a chick flick!). And of course no trip to the video shop is complete without also purchasing a huge amount of chocolate, popcorn, fizzy drinks and ice cream – all at twice the price of the supermarket.
Of course I had to have a photo of popcorn with this post. This is the most creative and interesting one I found. What a great idea to stick the camera inside the bag. I wonder if that had been planned all along or whether it was a spontaneous thing to do. Whatever, it worked really well. The light is perfect and the photo is so crisp and clear. Great work.
