'Bump' by Me

I never feature pictures of myself on here (apart from a couple of photos of my feet I believe) but after thinking hard about it I decided that perhaps I should share a picture of my pregnant belly, after all it's such a big part of my life right now. Motherhood also has such a huge influence on my blog and on my photography so it feels right to share this side of it as well as numerous photos of the back of my daughter's head! Little bit nervous about it but here it is - here is me and my 33 week pregnant belly. The more I look at it the more I think it's actually a rather cute little bump. I just can't believe it's making me feel so heavy and achy. Oh well, not long to go now!

Oh I am so jealous of the people in this photo. I wish I had a place like this to go when I want to just sit, be peaceful and contemplate life. I love places with breathtaking views like this. Having something like this nearby would be fantastic. There are lots of places round here that are gorgeous of course but somewhere with a view from up high like this would be wondeful. Failing that I'd love to have a special place of my own that I always feel is calm and pretty. You know like in films where someone gets upset and goes missing and there's always someone who knows just where they'll be. Anyway, I think this photo is beautiful. The tranquility and gorgeous sunset has been captured perfectly.

Another weather related post tonight I'm afraid as it rained a lot today. Seems like we're experiencing spring weather again just this time it's the wet kind. I wish I could say it was as breathtaking as this but it was just cold and miserable. I think this photo is stunning though. I love the lighting and the rain has been captured perfectly. I wonder how long the photographer stayed in here before going out to face the rain.

I am posting this picture tonight simply because this is how cold it felt today. Seriously, what happened to the spring weather we had last week? It was the icy wind that was particularly horrible. Brrr, I'm getting cold just thinking about it.

I think this picture looks really bleak and cold but in a in really artistic not depressing way. It makes you wonder what's going on in it. Did the woman make the snowman? Is she walking away leaving it unfinished? Or is the face on the other side? All in all a fascinating and very atmospheric photo.

'You can never have too many' by Me

My Converse habit seems to have got rather out of hand as I now own five pairs. They are rather cool though and I do wear them all. I think because I'm pregnant and missed out on wearing all the fabulous sparkly skyscraper heels that were about this Christmas I am filling the void another way. At least Converse are practical and do get worn practically every day.

Converse shoes also make a great subject for photos. I've seen so many lovely photos by other people and I love taking pictures of mine too. This one shows my whole collection. It was fun trying to find different ways to arrange them. Oh and in case you were wondering, I think I've got my sights on a navy blue pair next!

I thought this would be a perfect photo to share with you tonight considering how many sweet treats we've had in our house over the past couple of days. My daughter and I had friends over to our house on Friday so I got some gingerbread men and dinky doughnuts in as a treat. Thing is other people then turned up with cakes too so we also ended up with two swiss rolls and a fresh cream victoria sponge! Yum! And the sugar rush didn't end there. We had friends come and help us with some stuff at home today and to say thanks we got them a 12 pack of Krispy Kreme doughnuts which are definitely the best kind!

Anyway, if all that talk of cake hasn't made you hungry just check out this yummy photo. I bet this doughnut didn't last for long after this picture was taken. My favourite thing about this though has to be the light as it's so bright and beautiful and so well captured.

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

'Droopy' by Me

Well it's the first day of March and as far as I'm concerned that means it's spring time now! And the weather backed me up on this one as it was such a beautiful day. I just wish I wasn't feeling so achy at the moment as it would have been a perfect day for a lovely long walk in the sunshine.

I did make good use of the weather though by using the lovely light to take some pictures of the tulips my husband bought me the other day. I love how they go all droopy when they get a bit old so I thought I'd try and get a really beautiful droopy tulip picture. I'm really pleased with the results.

Happy spring everyone!
