No. 29: Cherry hurray!

The first month over, February done! Bring on March. Spring is round the corner and already the days are noticeably getting long (if only a bit). The sky was good today on my way home from work, some nice clouds lit by the setting sun, shame I was stuck on the M62. I'm quite pleased with how tonight's pic has turned out, cherries reflected on my shaving mirror.

'til tomorrow, a new month awaits.

No. 28: Apple of my eye.

Well the first month is nearly finished but if it wasn't for the pesky leap year it would have been complete. Not to worry it just means either a day off or a bonus pic, not sure which yet? (No doubt a bonus pic).

Well, I had more fun with my Macro lens, although the subject nearly disappeared when my back was turned. Ruth phoned me, so I went to answer the call in a different room and low and behold, when I returned a bite had been taken from the apple with Sophie sat at the kitchen table grinning innocently continuing to play Moshi monsters.

Well it made for a better pic I suppose.

'till tomorrow.

No. 27: Shot glass

Here's today's pic. Busy Monday so didn't have much time only had a window of an hour to think, shoot and edit, well tired after the fishing antics of Sunday, but at last I have it done. So as always;

'til tomorrow

No. 26: Sefton falls

Early start for me today, I went fishing early doors, (4:00am to be exact) over at Perch rock in New Brighton and had the added bonus of watching the sun come up. I wish I had my camera with me.

Later on I drove Ruth and the girls out to Sefton Park where Emily and Sophie could burn off energy running and cycling about the place. The Palm house in the park had a brass band playing which we could here from the car park, but, by the time we got there the band had finished; boo! Anyway, I took loads of pic's of said Palm house and then over to the old band stand, which I had to dive over a fence to get to as the gate was shut, I'll be adding these pic's to the Scrap book album as soon as poss!

The pic I chose was from the ornamental garden, and with the stream brimming with water, the landscaped falls  where torrenting toward the lake further down the park. I like how the water appears to be oozing over the rocks. As soon as my new filters arrive I'll be able to get some good long exposures.

'til tomorrow....

No. 25: On reflection, time for a bacon butty!

On a trip to town this morning, after dropping Ruth off at work, I found there was a good excuse to get some pic's taken before Liverpool One got too busy. Having so many subjects and sights (that all would make excellent pic's) I was really spoilt for choice. I had to keep one eye looking through the lens of my Nikon and the other on my girls who wanted to get in this water feature and have an out door bath! I love the reflected colours caught by the waves against the cold, white water and also the contrasting warmth of the wood which could be seen as a miniature sea front structure.

Soon it was time to grab a bacon butty and coffee for breakfast (juice for the girls, coffee is still a stinky grown up drink they're not keen to try yet) and then home before the masses showed up for a spot of retail therapy.

'til tomorrow.

No. 24: Bear with me.

Everyone say hello to Barnaby bear. He's staying with us for the weekend, Sophie's school has farmed him out for us to mind. I remember when I was in school you got a stinky hamster to look after, at least there's no chance of him gnawing my shoes if he escapes or leaving droppings everywhere, no doubt he'll be spoilt by the girls all the same. Barnaby has also brought his diary with him to jot down his adventures while he's here so I hope he doesn't get to bored and has lots to tell the teacher about when he goes back. Not sure how he'll write about his stay, as he has no fingers.

'til tomorrow.....

No. 23: Tom-hate-to

Busy night tonight, we had our eldest daughters school parents evening which dragged on a bit but well done Sophie for being clever. They had been learning about good and bad foods to eat as one of there projects, so this picture covers both good and bad food angles; good: because obviously they're full of healthy nutrients and general super-food-ness, and bad: because Sophie hates tomatoes!

'til tomorrow....
