The Return!

Welcome Chums, YES, I have decided to return to my old and dusty blog. It's time it needed a spring clean! Although it may take me a while to get back into the routine of posting regularly but *fingers crossed* everything will go swimmingly! 

Now...first things first, you guys (and girls!) need an update so here goes;

I recently purchased a new Digital SLR- 

Hang on a moment. 

Before I over use the exclamation mark, I should explain the abbreviation - so just for those who are unsure, SLR is short for Single Lens Reflex. A Digital SLR is a professional Digital Camera. Just as a warning, I will constantly use technical lexical choices [words] - like that. However I will ensure I follow them with a definition or simplified version i.e. Semantics [meanings of words]

Anyway, lets get back to business. Ooooo, using fancy phrases now are we? Too far. I do apologise.

Since purchasing the Digital SLR [Camera] I have already taken countless amounts of photos as I am surrounded by Nature Reserves, they're calling to me! I believe my first photo was taken numerous [many] weeks ago during the few blizzards of snow we had where I live. Unfortunately my terrible timing meant I purchased the Digital SLR [Camera] only a few days after our last winter downpour and it didn't take long before the harsh rain swept the remains away. I did manage to snap a few 'pics' of the fading winter wonderland. However at this current moment in time I do not have access to them - as unprofessional as that is, I am temporarily using Safari on an Apple device which doesn't seem to allow me to add images (I'll try to add them as soon as possible).

Anyway, I hope you all have lovely weekends!

Ta ta for now!

The Winter Long Ago

Wow! This year is running by so fast! It feels like only yesterday I was chucking snowballs at my friends!

I took this photo a day after purchasing my new camera. I love this photo although I think the contrast is a little too high!

Anyway, this is just a quick post to say its already summer!! Happy Summer Everyone!

Photo Challenge - November 2012

From tomorrow I am embarking on the November Photo-A-Day Challenge (Image will be attached). As the picture below shows I will be taking pictures that match the description for each day. To me this seems a hard challenge to complete as I don't usually finish challenges, especially ones that last a month! Unfortunately I won't be able to post each photo with a story but I will attempt to create some sort of description.

The usual challenge rules apply and if I somehow forget one day the challenge will be over!! But don't fret, I will continue to post my daily photos during and after the challenge. I hope you enjoy the next month of photos,

Thank you.

A Lonely Bench - 14/10/12

14th October 2012

A Lonely Bench

The tangerine painted trees whispered in the wind. After an hour drive we all began to feel famished. Our picnic consisted of sandwiches, crisps and the usual treats. We were hopeful that the sun would continue to shine across this fascinating landscape that we found ourselves upon. After finishing our delightful meals we zipped our coats, tied our laces and trekked off into the distance. We had successfully arrived at a Family Picnic Destination, however it wasn't just any Picnic Destination. It had a Cafe, Garden Shop and Toilets! 

We refreshed ourselves before our mountain-less journey not aware of the oncoming weather. I remembered to bring my trusty camera so I could share the journey with my Family and the Internet! It was beautiful. We followed several trails across the 300 acre land. After a few hours the wind was growing fierce and we decided to wander back to the Facilities. We grabbed a few hot beverages and collapsed on an oak picnic table. Our bodies chilled to the bone but our minds ready for more! 

To top off the day we journeyed down a 45 degree slope that made me feel quite unstable at first. It continued into another family trail where we captured a fantastic sight. The scorching rays of the peachy sun blasted through the crispy golden leaves. I immediately snapped away with my old DC (Digital Camera). At that moment in time I felt like I was being blessed with this sight. A lonely bench was parked next to a towering oak tree - its leaves covered the dewy grass below. The golden sunlight shone on the Lonely Bench. For that one moment, everything stood still.
