Happy Halloween!

What do you think of my pumpkins?

Autumn is just around the corner

This morning I decided to make the most of the sunshine and autumnal colours that are starting to make an appearance in our garden. Autumn is, for the most part, my favourite time of year. I know that it means summer is over for another year and instead of wearing shorts and tshirts you have to dig out your winter woolies, but I can't wait to wear my new scarf and winter boots and for the leaves to change colour and start falling off of the trees. I also love it because it is a beautiful time of year for photos!

Pretty Flowers

These flowers look so colourful in our garden at the moment...

Summer is on its way

I'm once again behind on blogging, I took these photographs a couple of weeks ago. I feel very fortunate because these fields are just a five minute walk from where I live. You can't beat a blue sky with fluffy white clouds against the yellow of rapeseed flowers. It feels like summer is finally on its way!

May Day

Another blossom photo but I can't resist! I hope everyone is having a lovely May day weekend :)

Bursting into life

I finally got out to take some photos of the beautiful blossom in our garden this morning. Spring is well and truly here, and it's about time! I'm loving how everywhere is bursting into colour. Now all we need is some warm weather.





And the grape hyacinths in our front garden looked great close up too...

The End

..of my 365:2010 project. On Friday 26th March I completely forgot to take a photo, I don't know how I could forget :( I didn't even realise that I had missed the day until I woke up on Saturday morning - I was not happy! I am quite disappointed, I was pleased with my project up until this point.

From now on my project will be a photo every so often for 2010. It has been quite nice not being under pressure to find a photo every day since then, I was beginning to take uninteresting photos for the sake of taking a photo. After a little break I hope to start this project again.

Here is my last photo, Day 83 - 25th March '10

Carrot and cake. Who would have thought that combining the two would result in something so tasty! Home made carrot cake muffins with topping are my absolute favourite. Happy Friday everyone!

Feels like spring

Today has been an absolutely beautiful day. The sun was shining and streaming in through the window onto my desk. The skies were clear and blue, the temperature reached 9 degrees celcius and the evenings are drawing out; it was daylight until well after 6.30pm. It feels like spring is on the way! Yay!

Yesterday and todays 365:2010 photos are of spring flowers. I can't wait for the daffodils to start flowering!

Burning Heather

Since moving to North Yorkshire the burning of heather on the moors has been something I have wanted to see. I was really excited when I noticed the smoke rising from that area on my drive home from York, so I headed up there with my camera. This fire was right next to the road...

Day 67 - 8th March '10


In order to provide a perfect habitat for grouse, the gamekeepers carry out rotational burning. Every year around this time (when there are no birds nesting and when the ground is damp) they set alight small areas of older heather to encourage it to grow new shoots the following year. It creates a mosaic of heather growing at varying heights. The taller and older heather gives the grouse a place to nest, and the shorter younger heather provides them with food.





The smoke was making a beautiful cloud pattern and a pretty colour cast in the sky...



Here's the rest of my 365:2010 photos from the last few days.

Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

Just a quick note to apologise for neglecting you over the last couple of weeks, and to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you! I've been busy, but from now on I will devote more time to filling your pages with my photographs and stories.

Today I have a quick update on my 365:2010 project. Hardly any words for now, but plenty of photographs.
