August's Photos

August was a lovely month to get some great and un-expected photos. It wasn’t quite the hot summer we had hoped for, but none the less, it did provide a few great days which brought out photogenic butterflies and endless dramatic sunsets, and for this I’m very thankful! Again being in the right place at the right time proved successful, resulting in some very lucky shots – the butterflies and the photobombing swallow are two examples of this, I could’n’t believe my luck! These are the photos that I’m usually pleased with the most as I didn’t go out looking for them, they just seemed to happen, which I love…

I saw this & thought photos for July…

We’re already half way into August and I haven’t even shown you my photos from July yet! I don’t know where the time is going. July flew by so fast I did realise I hadn’t taken as many photos as usual. Why would I admit to this I hear you ask? Well I like to be honest with you guys and not pretend each month was easy to get images, because sometimes it’s not, but when I did have the chance to get out and photograph there were some wonderful things to shoot. Nature is a it’s peak during July and August with crops ready to harvest and flowers in full bloom. Late summer evening always provide great backdrops for architecture too. Maybe the little break helped me to see the world clearly again…

Celebrating 5 Years!

5-Years-ISTT

I can’t believe that it’s 5 years ago that I started my photo of the day challenge ‘I Saw This & Thought…’! If I’m being honest I thought it would only last for a year before I stopped. But it’s an addiction, trying to out do myself with each photo, challenging myself to take better pictures and show you what I find interesting and quirky in everyday life. The photo’s I take are not just for me, they’re for everyone and I hope I’m able to spark memories, create talking points or even just make you smile.

I’ve taken over 1,300 photos during my challenge and these are just some of them. It was hard to choose which photos to put in my montage, but I decided to just go with the flow and pick some of my favourite and most popular pictures. You can see all of my photos on my Instagram page, where I continue to post my daily pictures.

Each photo has its own background story to tell and I know exactly where I was when I took each one, it’s almost like looking back at family photos, these pictures remind me of certain times in my life; happy memories, sad memories or even a time I just want to forget! But at the end of it all I love taking photo’s and my challenge now is to never stop, but to continue and see where it takes me; an exhibition? A book? Watch this space!

Oh and if you’d like to buy any of my prints they’re available at my Folksy shop here!

Well I said last month that Spring had arrived but I think I underestimated it! April was beautiful and warm, which meant those flowers that were blooming in March were even more spectacular in April. There were pretty cherry blossom trees, which snowed delicate pink petals at the slightest of breezes and fields full of dazzling rape seed blooms contrasting against bright blue skies. Oh I did manage to capture some great signs and architecture in between…

Spring is most definitely here and it has brought an abundance of colour and flowers with it, which has meant for lots of flower photos over on my Instagram feed. In between the flowers I also captured animals and food…
