'summer chair' by Grant MacDonald

Tomorrow is the 1st March! I believe the offical first day of spring is 20th March but to me spring starts when March does (and a quick Google shows that the Met Office agrees with me!). Therefore tomorrow I expect to wake up to gorgeous sunshine, not having to wear a thick jumper and lots of spring blossoms! Fingers crossed eh!

I have chosen this photo today as it just makes me look forward to summer. It's not a photo of anything spectacular but it is so summery! The light and the warmth have been captured beautifully. I just want to be sat in that chair watching the world go by and feeling the warm sun on my face.

This photo makes me smile. The colours of this house are so wonderful and happy. Even if you were coming home after a terrible day this house would cheer you up a little. I love the snow in this photo too. It's obviously a very wintery day but the pretty house still makes it feel like spring!

Due to lack of opportunities for nice photo sessions at the moment I have been digging around in my files and playing around with some old shots. I found a load of interesting photos I took in Paris a few years ago. Here is one of the Metro that has already had lots of positive feedback on Flickr since putting it up this afternoon. I hope you like it too.

Can post that lovely tulip photo I was telling you about now? I have not been feeling well and I need cheering up. Oh, yeah, it's my blog. I can do what I like so here's a photo which I adore!

As you may have gathered I am going through a bit of a tulip phase at the moment and this is just perfect. I love the close crop. It makes it so different from the typical tulips in a vase shot. And the soft colours are just divine!

Yep, I think I feel a little cheered up now!

This photo has totally inspired me. This summer I want to find a peacock and take a photo as stunning as this! However, I hope my zoom is working well enough as I don't really fancy getting too up close and personal with one! I love peacocks as they are just so colourful and total show-offs. They look good and they know it!

'Tea and coffee' by Me

This is one of my photos. I took it in Southsea last summer. I initially didn't put it on Flickr because I didn't really think much of it. However, after stumbling across it some months later and having a play with the colours on Photoshop I have become really pleased with it. I already liked the composition of this shot but now I really love the vintage look.

I'm not taking nearly enough photos at the moment so can't wait until the sun is shining so I can take lots of pretty shots in interesting places.

Go on, be naughty, it is the weekend after all. I think I am just looking for a partner in sweet stuff crime as I've just realised I have scoffed a whole bag of cola bottle sweets. Ooops! I'd been eating marshmallows before that. It's all my husband's fault for leaving them on the table next to me. He knows I have no will power! Oh well, didn't I hear something about there being no calories at the weekend.

I love this picture because it's yummy cakes in pretty pink cases! And I also love the fact that it's been taken, or looks like it's been taken, through a shop window. It makes the cakes seem even more exciting. I never realised you could capture temptation in a photo but it's been done here.
