I am posting this today for my little girl. She is totally obsessed with Peppa Pig! It used to be all about 'In The Night Garden' but that's old news now. Now it's Peppa all the way! Seriously, shove an episode or two of that on and you have total peace and quiet!!

For those of you who haven't got a clue what I am going on about, Peppa Pig is a children's cartoon which is actually rather good! My favourite character is Daddy Pig though - he's funny! Anyway......

This photo made me smile! Anything Peppa Pig related makes me smile as I know it makes my daughter happy. I love the bright colours and how the shine has been captured so well on the the character's body. But most of all I love the speed. It looks like the toys have escaped from the toy box and are having a great time racing round the living room!

You know how I'd really love a beach hut - I know I may have mentioned it once or twice - well if I couldn't have one then this in my back garden would have to do! What a delightful place to relax on a summer afternoon. And you even have somewhere to hide should the rainy British weather strike!

It may still be April but it certainly felt like summer today. Therefore, let's get all summery with another beach hut photo. This is one of mine taken last summer in Littlehampton. I love the fantastic bright blue sky and I love the bright colours of the beach hut. Littlehampton has rows of identical beach huts like this and it's impossible to walk by and not take a few photos. I think I am definitely going to take another trip back there this summer.

I have just realised that I've not bought any flowers yet this week. And I was doing so well making sure I always had fresh flowers in the house. It's also a bit silly of me because it's been so bright and sunny I could have taken some lovely flowery photos. I shall make sure I go buy some later.

In the meantime here is a lovely flower photo not taken by me. This looks like it was shot on a bright and sunny day like today. I really love this fantastic combination of colours. They look so striking against the white interior.

Right, I am inspired and will definitely buy flowers later.

I love this. It's such a simple image but I really feel it's a photo bursting with love. And it's also annoying because it gave me one of those "Why didn't I think of that" moments! I guess I wouldn't have been able to take a photo like this anyway. It wouldn't be the same on my rather ordinary rotary washing line. I like the fact that this looks like it's the highest washing line in the world.

In a previous blog post, which you can read here if you fancy, I said I really wanted to take a fantastic picture of a peacock this summer. Well this weekend I was lucky enough to see two. One on Saturday and one on Sunday. I had the camera poised and ready but would either of them open up their feathers for me. Like hell they would!! Therefore I am going to show you this awesome shot of a white peacock. Isn't it just such a stunning bird? And this photo makes it look so dreamy and angelic. I shall, however, carry on with my quest for my own great peacock photo.

'Spring blossoms' by Me

It's been another beautiful weekend. At times I could have sworn it was the middle of August not the middle of April. We had a busy weekend. We went to the farm, a National Trust garden, did a little bit of shopping and a tiny drop of wine may have been consumed on Saturday night with some girl friends!

But of course all this sunshine meant the camera was out for most of the weekend. Got some lovely spring flower photos including the one above. Also got a few nice daffodil shots but I was amazed at how quickly they seem to be fading away.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend too and those of you with the photography bug got some fabulous photos.
