Day 18 What's New Pussy Cat?



Day 18 What's New Pussy Cat?

I caught this lovely photo of my cat Molly today. I like the angles, its almost as though there's an invisible diagonal line drawn down the middle, one side green leaves, the other tortoiseshell

Day 17 New York, New York!



Day 17 New York, New York!

Thought I'd try out some work with reflections today and used an ornament I had at home. I usually wouldn't like the glare from the room light but I think it works well here

Day 16 Lets Twist Again


Day 16 Lets Twist Again

I'm very pleased to have inherited a grape vine from the previous owners of my house. I love how the tendrils twist and curl around the fence posts like fingers reaching out and clinging on for dear life

I used a shallow depth of field and got the angle just right so you can see the vine stretching out behind

Day 15 Living Doll




Day 15 Living Doll

At my parents today I noticed my childhood doll in the corner of the room. She was sat there with the other toys my parents keep for when my nieces and nephews go to stay with them. I thought she had an eerie look sat, wide eyed and staring straight ahead and the reflection in the window added to the abandon look she had

Day 14 Flowers in the Window




Day 14 Flowers in the Window

I went to a Speakeasy bar for cocktails last night and this window with black lace curtains really caught my eye. I love the black against the dusky blue sky outside and the street light shining through

Day 13 Flying Ford Anglia





Day 13 Flying Ford Anglia

Thought I'd combine two things I love today and took a photo of Harry Potter Lego! I tried to make this one look like the car was actually flying by taking it outside with the sky as a backdrop.

Day 12 Oooh Honey Honey




Day 12 Oooh Honey Honey

I had an hour to spare before meeting my colleagues for dinner so I headed up to the Downs planning on taking some landscape photos. Instead I spotted these little fellas gathering nectar!. I love bees ( I have a tattoo of two bees on my foot) and they play a vital role in pollinating crops around the world.
