This is the morning of our first day on Kauai - a short walk down from our hotel (through all the roosters), resided the beach. Despite the heavy clouds, remnants of the sunrise still were able to get through. Enjoy!
I love the simplicity and beauty of snowdrops. They always remind me of new beginnings and hope of a better season.We all pass through tough seasons in life.We therefore need reminding that God gives us strength to endure the present and hope to embrace a better future. His amazing love along the way is just the best antidote to discouragement
From the 1st May 2015 I officially finished at Cheshire West and Chester Council. Having had a particularly difficult Christmas time turning over all the options open to me, I finally decided to nail my colours to the mast and pursue voluntary redundancy. It hasn't been easy by any measure. There are so many aspects you don't factor in when making the initial decision and it relates entirely to other people.
The first question people have asked me is "So where are you going/have you got anything lined up?" this question has galvanised my thoughts on the British as a hierarchical nation. The notion of class and status is so ingrained that most don't even recognise it is a judgement.
This idea was first introduced to me back in 2010 when I was dating Olivier. It really spoke to me that every French person he introduced me to in Nice didn't give a monkeys about where I worked or what I did, their first questions were always "What is the music culture like in England right now? Where do you get your clothes from? What do you watch on TV?" in a nutshell 'tell me more about you and your life, your interests and the things that excite you!'
So my answer to the "What are you going to do?" question is answered with "Not this!". I have been blessed to have worked for some of the most amazing, inspiring and aspirational (mostly) women and they have been the reason I have worked in Local Government for the last 11 years. Right now it is time to go, the more cuts and squeezes we face, the more the none essential parts of work are being deleted.
As with school budgets it is never maths, science or english that suffers, but music and art. The unfortunate part of that is there are rarely creatives at the top of the tree making all the decisions, so the benefits of creative working are never recognised and the corporate world is reduced to beige and grey.
And Ladies and Gentlemen, I can assure you without hesitation that I am never, ever, ever going to be beige or grey.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

This image was shot in Warwickshire in the exact same field I shot my last rapeseed selfie in, this time at Welcome Break 15 :)
Today was one of those mornings, up early enough to catch the sunrise out of the bedroom window but not up early enough to be at the coast to catch it without a care in the world.
from my moleskine that ive been neglecting.

My mom gave me a beautiful, big spider plant which I quickly killed. I'm not sure what it is about spider plants, but I cannot keep them alive! This is it now making a comeback... making a fresh start:)

Experience the serene beauty of the first morning of 2026. This high-contrast silhouette features majestic palm trees set against the golden glow of a new year’s sunrise.
Day 1/365 The whole year is laid out before us. We have a clean slate, a new beginning, a fresh start. I plan to make mine a great one...I wish the same for all of you. Happy New Year!
One the first photos I took with a Zuiko 12-60mm. No retouching, no filter, Olympus creative "sunset" setting. I've posted another version that attempts to even out the exposure.

Our Daily Challenge - Beginning
There is nothing quite like a new pencil and blank paper for the feeling of expectation and new beginnings.
So glad to be back :)
So this is it, finally given up work to become an explorer and adventurer.
Just looking forward to seeing new places, learning new things and hopefully taking loads of fabulous photos!
This one is part of an collection that I wanna make this month. I want to do some tribal/ancient/mythological masks. Also will use paint to bring them to life as I imagine.
Fresh Start
It was beautiful but cold this morning. The sun was golden and I captured this shot of Shizandra. We were playing the first round of ball at the park for 2014. This is no doubt her favourite way to start the year fresh. And thought I'd do my first photo of her with Topaz processing for something different. I just love how this program colours and curls :)
Recently I got the keys to my new apartment. The first thing I did was install new door locks, with new keys. Just in case...
BTW, I took this photo in a Foldio portable studio with the black background. However it's not as black as I want it to be. Any tips on how to get a pitch black background, yet having the main object properly lit / exposed?
ODC: A Fresh Start
Happy new year everyone! This year I am going to try and complete a photo a day project! After two failed attempts last year, I think I am prepared to try again.
This is how the early mornings looked like only three weeks ago. Now the trees are full in bloom and surround our flat with their lush green coats of leaves. Very different from our old place, and still good.
I've been giving the 365 Days project some thought, and I've decided to join. My reasons:
One, my muse has been fickle lately and photography hasn't been as satisfying to me as it used to be, and I believe that this project will force me outside some of my comfort zones into new modes of creativity and productivity. If I only have one subject and I have to find three hundred and sixty-five ways to make it unique and interesting, I'm hoping it will help.
Two, I like the challenge, and hope I can meet it.
Three, one of my goals is to become better at lighting and to learn as much as possible--particularly portrait lighting. While taking pictures of myself is kind of a pain in the rear as far as focusing and composition, at least I don't have to hassle anybody else to be patient enough to pose for me over and over until I get it right.
I wanted to start the project on New Year's Day because I think it will also help me with some other goals, and I wanted to start it with an image that makes me happy because I think starting anything on the right foot can help set the pace and direction for the whole course.
So here I am, ready for a new year, full of new challenges, new opportunities, and maybe, if I'm lucky, some new friends. Cheers!
My diary was used all through last year, and the camera is what I will be watching this year through. The goals are listed for the year ahead; 12 books piled up for the one per month, the rose representing the garden and the watch and apple for the exercise and healthy food. A reminder for myself for the rest of the year.
As we stand on the first day of the New Year, we never really know how things will unfold. Hopefully we're fortunate, in that the good outweighs the bad. Wishing everyone health, peace and prosperity in the New Year!
From a technical perspective, the lens data in the EXIF is incorrect (user error!). Correct lens information is Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 SSC, shot wide open. Equivalent on full-frame would be 67mm f/0.95.
here's to fresh starts and new beginnings

Out with the old and in with the new!! It was time to update my blog logo, as I don't think I've changed it in well over a year. And since I'm trying to devote more time to blogging, I needed something of a fresh start...
And yes, those are real birds! Ha ha!
