All I need is a moment

Photography is all about the moment. Freezing a moment in time to be looked at for years to come. I first came across this idea on Narrelle's blog (http://www.njoythemoment.com.au), and wanted to take part myself. The idea is that photographers across the world take a photo at exactly the same time (in each of their time zones), and we can see what that moment looked like through another persons eyes. I have wanted to take part for a few weeks but for one reason or another I kept on missing the time.

This week I finally did it!

The theme is an "Ant's Eye View" on Wednesday 28th October 2009 at 4.22 pm, and here is my photo:

Summer

I always feel like summer has fully arrived when there are bails of hay in the fields. North Yorkshire has a lot of beautiful fields that are full of them. Last week I took a few photos in the field behind our house...





Even though it was quite late in the evening the farmer was still very hard at work harvesting:

LOVE

We have been living in Yorkshire for over five weeks now, time really does fly! My new bedroom is at the front of the house and I get the most amazing views of sunset (weather permitting!). It is so different to the view I had from our house in Essex, I am very lucky. This LOVE sign sits on my window sill and it looked lovely in the late evening light...

Yorkshire

Wow what a couple of months! We have moved from Essex up to North Yorkshire so I am now based near Pickering. It is such a beautiful area. Here's a few photos taken not too far from our new house - I am so lucky to live here!

Yorkshire

I spent a lovely few days in Yorkshire last week, and took a few photos!

The first thing we had to see with my Dad was a steam train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. It was actually a special week on the railway and this train, Tornado, does not normally run on this line.


Mum and I then found a gorgous pathway with wild garlic growing everywhere. I was very pleased because I haven't managed to find bluebells in a wood so garlic made up for that!


This is totally out of focus (deliberately!!!) I really like the effect :)


Bridlington is somewhere I remember from holidays when I was younger. Here is a view of the harbour where we had lovely chips for lunch!


We walked from Bridlington up to Sewerby


On Sunday Mum and I went to York for some retail therapy - it has such a good shopping centre! I can see myself spending a lot of time here lol. It's a lovely mix of oldy worldy buildings like here at the Shambles, and modern shops.


I only took my 50 mm lens with me and I couldn't get the whole Minster in!


Pretty Yorkshire scenery


I love lambs so had to get a couple of photos before driving home
