'London' by september's bliss

London, a photo by september's bliss on Flickr.

What's not to love about this photo? For a start it was taken in London and I love London. And just look at the beautiful blossoms - although I admit I actually thought it was snow when I first saw it. I also adore the burst of red in an otherwise colour-free photo. Telephone boxes like this are such fantastic subjects for photos and it's such a shame you don't see them around much any more.

Anyway, it's getting late so I'll love you and leave you now. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

'Instagram roses' by Me

It's going to be another Instagram photo from me today I'm afraid simply because I've not been taking a lot else at the moment. I am still finding the whole Instagram concept a fascinating project because I only have it on my iPad and not my mobile phone. That means I am only really able to take pictures around the house. It's making me look really hard at every day things and try to find beauty in things around the house and things we get up to at home.

Here are some beautiful roses my husband brought home for me the other day when I was feeling down. I was feeling rubbish so he surprised me by taking a half day off from work to look after me. And he came home with pretty flowers and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Seriously, he is the best husband in the world.

'Invasion of the green Chairs' by -p-a-u-l-

I have chosen this photograph to share with you today for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I love the colours and shapes. I think repititive pictures like this are really fascinating and so well observed. And I also love the bright green.

I have also chosen this today as it kind of sums up in one word how things are around here at the moment. Waiting. These chairs look like they are waiting for their audience to arrive and I am just waiting for this baby to turn up. It's so frustrating. I usually like to be all organised and have dates in my diary and things perfectly planned so this just messes with my head. It's funny waking up in the morning and thinking, you never know I could have a baby in my arms by the end of the day! Hurry up baby!

I am a sucker for a pretty notebook. In fact I love notenooks so much I am always saving them "for best". Who know what "best" is meant to be though. I have therefore decided to start using all my notebooks whether they're for something special or not. After all shouldn't everything I choose to write down be fabulous enough to have a pretty cover.

I love this photo. It's so bright, clean and also rather subtle. But most of all I really, really, really love that book on top with all the cameras on it. I want one. And if it was mine I'd write in it every day whether it be best or not - promise.

'Cupcake Papers' by Creature Comforts

This is possibly the most pretty and delicate photo I have ever seen. I don't have a lot of words to say about it but I am really mesmerised even though it's so simple really. I think it's a perfect combination of gorgeous paper cake cases and stunning lighting. I love the way that the cases almost seem to disappear into the background. Really clever work. I would love to see how pretty the finished cakes were!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

'Instagram tulips' by Me

Well I've finally done it - I've entered the world of Instagram thanks to a super awesome birthday present of an iPad. I've been wanting to join in this craze for ages as I love the concept - micro blogging through beautiful photos - and the photo effects are fantastic. As you obviously know by now photography and blogging are my two great hobbies so I'm pleased to be able to get involved with this.

Here is one of my Instagram pictures. I never get bored of playing with the effects and finding new and interesting things to take pictures of in my everyday life. I'll no doubt post some more of my photos here in due course.

Well what a difference a day makes. Over the past few days I've been feeling so emotionally and physically drained. Everything's been achy and I've just been feeling really down. Today, however, was a good day! The sun has been shining (a bit anyway), my daughter and I had a lovely day with friends and generally I'm not hurting as much. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be a good day too. It seems like such a cop out to blame hormones but seriously these extra little buggers floating around (or whatever hormones do) don't help make pregnancy a smooth ride.

I love this particular picture because it's been captured at exactly the right moment. It's great how the photographer has managed to get this shot just as the curtain is blown away to reveal that stunning wooden door. I think all the vibrant colours are fantastic as well. It can't have been the most beautiful of days weatherwise if the wind was blowing this strongly but that doesn't stop this being a fantastic photo. I have to remember to think like this photo if I'm having a hormonal moment. There are often blustery grey days but behind that life is still beautiful and the sun will come out again tomorrow.
