Green Day

Well I seem to have gone into hibernation mode during this cold spell which is doing nothing for my aim of getting out and taking more photos!!! Especially when I have managed to put on enough clothes so that I can't feel the cold, the photos that I have taken have not come out as sharp as I would have liked...

It's desperately trying to snow here today in Essex, Paul and I consoled ourselves this morning with a nice hearty full cooked breakfast at the local American diner, unfortunately it has left me feeling like doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the day, so before I forget that it is actually Friday I thought I would share a photo with you for Green Day.

I took my camera with me on the school run the other morning and took a quick detour into the park after dropping off Tomas. I liked the way the light is captured on one side of the trees and the snow on the other.

So I am linking in with GREEN DAY over at Raindrops and Daisies. Pop over and taken a look at all the other Green Day photos.

2013 - a new start!

I have been neglecting my blog again as well as my photography, but it's a new year and that means a new start. Here are just some of the challenges that I am going to be taking part in and blogging about this year.

Firstly, A Kitten Called Betty, this is a facebook challenge group with monthly themes, I'm one of the admins on the page so if you would like to take part then just give me a shout, we would love some new members!

Our themes for January are

I will be posting these photos as and when I take them.

Secondly, another facebook challenge, but this time a weekly one, hosted by Ingrid Owens of Camera Shy is called Take 52.

The theme for this week is Celebration.

And thirdly, like most of you I have been missing Kath from Postcards from the PP's scavenger hunt but another one has popped up in it's place hosted by Made With Love (greenthumb). This is a monthly challenge with photos being posted at the end of the month and linked to the Made With Love blog. The themes for this month are

The final one is Green Day over at Raindrops and Daisies, This is one I struggle with most as I keep forgetting it's Friday!!! but I will try harder this year. The idea with this one is you take a photo of something green, doesn't have to be literal, and then you blog about it and link up to the Raindrops and Daisies blogpost each Friday.

Phew! that lot should keep me busy, if you're wondering how on earth I remember all those different things will I take a picture of each list on my camera and keep them on there for the month that way when I'm out about with my camera I always have my list to hand.

If you would like to join in any of these photo challenge then just use to links to take you to each page and get snapping.
