I'm almost forgetting how winter felt like, originally uploaded by sma_kee.

I don't really have much to say tonight except to say that tomorrow is the first day of June which means summer is here properly now! Come on nice weather, please don't let us down. I think this is a lovely summer photo and the title of it is very fitting too. My favourite thing about this picture is the colour. I love the contrast of the bright pink and the blue of the water. In fact the water colour is just so beautiful. Perfect photo to start the summer with.

'Strawberry picking' by Me

It's Monday night which means the end of a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. Yesterday we went strawberry picking with friends. I'd not been fruit picking for years and it was also the first time my daughter had been. I was a bit worried that she wouldn't enjoy it or understand what she was meant to be doing but she absolutely loved it! She was getting really stuck in and was great at picking the ones that were ripe. She actually had very high standards when it came to choosing which ones made it into her tub! It's funny how it's the little moments like this that make you so happy. We've all had so much fun this weekend but this was really the highlight. Can't wait to go back again!

Oh and this photo was taken by me yesterday. I was pleased that even though it was generally a cloudy day the sun did make a quick appearance so I could take some summery photos!

There's a rather big football match on television tonight - Champions League Final between Manchester United and Barcelona in case you were wondering. Anyway, I'm not particularly interested in it but it made me set myself a challenge of finding a really good football photo to show you. I think I stuck gold here as this one is amazing! The composition is awesome. I can't believe the photographer managed to perfectly capture the ball in front of the sun like that. I love the little details of the silhouettes such as the person's big hair and the shape of his hands. The colour of the sky and the clouds are also so beautiful and I think the black border at the top and bottom finish this of just perfectly.

Well after being all talk for a while I've finally gone and done it - I'm going to try selling some of my photos! I've had lots of my favourites made up into postcards and am selling them in my brand new Folksy shop, AprilWishes. I hope you'll come and have browse.

This photo is one by me that I really like but not had to the chance to show you yet. It's not for sale right now but it might just be one day!

'Soft, Spring Rain' by Darrell Wyatt

Do you ever find yourself smiling so much your cheeks hurt? Well I was a bit like that today. It was beautiful weather today and my daughter and I joined some friends for a picnic in the park. It was just so nice sitting in the sunshine, chatting with my mates and watching my girl and her little friends playing together so nicely. I realised at one point I was was grinning like the Cheshire Cat!

The colours make this such a bright and happy picture. It makes you want to sit outside in the sunshine. However, you will notice that the photo is called 'Soft, Sping Rain' and you can see perfectly captured raindrops falling from the sky. If only all rainy days could be as pretty as this!

I love ice cream displayed like this. Sometimes it looks so nice it's a shame to have to dig into it to sell it to people. The ice creams in this photo all look delicious. I'm not sure which one I'd pick. I'm especially wondering what that blue one is. I like the angle this was taken at as it's a bit more creative than taking it directly from above. I also really love the dreamy processing of this image. It makes me feel like there is nothing else around and I am really focused on choosing which ice cream to have. In fact it's rather bugging me that I really can't choose. I'll let you know when I reach a decision!

'Beach huts' by ania115

I am so tired today. Unfortunately I can't blame a child waking up or a crazy night out - I just went to bed too late last night and when I did I tossed and turned for hours unable to sleep. Usually I'm OK with late nights like that but for some reason I'm wiped out today. Anyway that means I shall be posting this then heading off to bed.

I still have so many things to do but they'll have to wait until tomorrow apart from tell you how lovely this photo is. I love beach huts and beach hut photos and this one is really intresting. I love that there are only a few colours in it as they all work perfectly together. I love the vintage tones - it makes it feel like it was taken in the 70s. My favourite thing though is all the shapes and sizes of the beach huts. I am so fascinated I want to go there right now and see what they look like in real life. Unfortunately I'm a little sleepy so maybe I'll got another day.
