Spring cleaning!

Day 3- Good morning Sunshine!
Today was a very spring cleaning sort of day; got the washing done, bins emptied and kitchen spotless in time for the inspection! Too busy to take any interesting photos although I managed to snap this one of the light reflection on the ceiling this morning, I really liked the colours in the rays :) It started off as such a sunny day, although it turned grey very quickly! :c We thought we'd treat ourselves with raspberry sponge after a hardworking day haha~

Cat Street in Carnforth



Day 2- The cat's are plotting

   

Hello again! Another steam train adventure today! :D Definitely found Cat Street in Carnforth! Took me a lot of persuasion skills to drag Sam closer to take a photo but it turns out it was a massive short cut anyway! :P It felt like we'd walked back in time. The steam train was a South African one this time! There was so much steam~ although it didn't stay very long at the station! It was a really cute station too, it looks very much from the past with old suitcases and lots of cheerful bunting up~


Carnforth Station





 Thought I would be very helpful during supper again and attempt to explore some depth of field shots~ onions have such pretty patterns! I've not really noticed them before, they've become a fairly new addition to my staple foods added to anything I cook since moving to Uni haha. They smell really delicious when cooking! Thought I would work on my journal for a bit too since it's been neglected recently~naturally I thought it'd be different to try and print with the onions' patterns; I think it produced really interesting prints. It's been such an lovely day~!<3






Hello March!

Day 1: "Happiness can be found in even the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light" -Albus Dumbledore

Hello March! Always such a busy month with lots of birthdays and important dates :) I've also decided to attempt a photo a day for the month :D I want to try and be more creative with taking my photos and this would be a perfect opportunity to do it especially with spring on it's way! So here's today's~ thought I'd start it from the comfort of my room :P I'm going to miss this view next year! It's absolutely gorgeous with the church silhouettes. I feel the rays of sunshine in this image are beautiful and for me, create a subtle reminder  :)

Shopping with an Art Student

 
Managed to persuade my boyfriend to walk with me to the shops this evening~ The lighting was so lovely! I'm not sure why but I really like the photo with the keys, I think it's because the lighting's a really beautiful golden colour which highlights the wood grain. We came back with such an odd assortment too! I couldn't resist the dinosaur bin for 50p :P The rest is an idea for my current project work on Traces... Apart from the dictionary, I got the idea from my dad (feel free to stalk his blogspot for some amazing altered art and crafting ideas!) to use it as an alternative to old book paper within journalling :)
Taken through sunglasses! :P I love the light glare~


The bubbles and lighting were too tempting not to take some shots with my Olympus camera! :) There's a lovely golden sheen to them that I love~








i love my boyfriend! :')

Bowling!




Standard attractive bowling shoe photo...
 I don't think I've ever had such a good game of bowling for a pound fifty! Too much happened that not even a split spare was the best part of the evening :P

Think these images just about sum it up! :P


The night started off with my sister being taught how to bowl by ed, (whom of which bought the child's bowling tool out later! his logic was with one pin left, if he aimed it right down the gutter it wouldn't miss... it did! :P )
My sister being taught how to bowl by her boyfriend :P

The Men
Throughout the game my sister and I had been playing appallingly (been a while; naturally...! ;P )
Until Shenay managed her first spare by just throwing the ball without aiming...

Lightening never strikes twice he said!
 Jamie then managed to get a spare despite having two pins left, one each side! Nothing could beat that we thought.. :P

Turns out lightening strikes twice much to ed's misfortune :P My sister managed to repeat her previous spare in the exact identical fashion :P Ed now owes her a diamond ring ;)

Also turns out kicking the bowl doesn't work either, as shown in exhibit A :P
Exhibit A

The night then finished with Sam being scared by his reflection in a piece of glass on the walk home :P Next year's gonna be fun... we're gonna be living in close vicinity to the alley :P
