'Untitled' by Heartbeatbox

This photograph is a perfect example of minimalism. At first you might look at it and think there's not much to it (and you'd be right) but I bet it took a lot of thought to get the angle right. And it's not an obvious colour combination but the orange and turquoise just work so well together. I'm actually wondering what this is a small corner of. It looks to me like a boat but I'm guessing it must be a building. Any suggestions?

Well the weather forecast was right and the sun shone lots this weekend. It was such a nice change to see blue skies as I was beginning to forget what they looked like. Let's hope the nice weather sticks around for a while. Dare I check the weather forecast for the coming week?

I am posting this photo today as I feel inspired by the lovely weather. I love the colours in this photo. The turquoise of the sky is just gorgeous and works so well with the yellow building (which I also think is rather cool - check out those patterns on the wall). I think this is a brilliant retro looking summer photo.

'Converse All Star' by Me

As I mentioned in a previous post I treated myself to a new pair of Converse the other day. That now takes me up to three pairs - purple, grey and now turquoise. I think I'd still love a green pair but the turquoise are just as cool for now. Yesterday, I did a bit of a photo session with the new shoes. I couldn't decide which picture to show you so here are my two favourites!

To all of you who've just had a long Bank Holiday weekend I hope you've had a lovely time. And to everyone else, I hope your week has started with a fantastic Monday!

It's Friday again. Hope you've all got fantastic weekends planned. And if you don't have any plans then that's even better because you can just be spontaneous and see where the wind blows you.

I have chosen this image to start the weekend as these contrasting colours are just so striking. It's definitely a work of art. The photo is also so crisp and clear which I love.

Happy weekend everyone!

'Pink Magnolias' by eRachel11

I get a huge whoosh of nostalgia when I see pink magnolia trees. As a child we had one in our garden and I have so many happy memories of it. Funny how you can feel so nostalgic about a tree. I remember the feel of the petals. They are so thick aren't they? I also remember the leaves being huge - or was I just small. My biggest memory though has to be the two lowest branches which for some reason had been cut off to stumps so I used them as microphones and used to sing into them! How funny!

I miss that tree so that's why when I saw this photo I just had to post it. It's beautiful and the colours are just perfect. Like in yesterday's picture, it's all about the turquoise. I love that light turquoise sky. And I love the retro tones as it makes it an even more nostalgic shot!

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who reads this little blog of mine and for all the lovely comments you've been leaving. It really makes my day to know that you are enjoying the pictures I am posting and I get especially excited when you say nice things about photos I have taken.

I would love to bake each and every one of you a delicious cup cake but not sure I could make them pretty enough so here is a cupcake picture I really like. It looks perfectly made and I bet it tastes great but what I love about it the most is the turquoise background. I have a real soft spot for the colour. I don't really know why but it always attracts my attention.

Happy Weekend everyone!! Hope you all have a fabulous couple of days whatever you get up to. Mine is going to be rather busy as our days are filled with visiting friends and family. It will be Sunday night before we know it.

I've picked this photo simply because of the beautiful colours. The picture is lovely for other reasons too but it's the colours that kept me coming back to look at it again and again.

You know the phrase 'Dance like no one is watching'? Well this is what this photo says to me. It looks like the owner of these feet is have a fantastic time. The light on the floor makes me think it's day time which makes the dancing look even more carefree.

Of course the colours are great too. The turquoise and red are a really vibrant combination. And everyone needs to own at least one pair of red shoes!

This is just adorable. The two colours just work so well together. I've not been to a children's party as gorgeous as this before. I hope the kids stopped to appreciate the beauty although I expect they just saw cake and jumped straight in!
