Autumn – weekly pictures

“Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the day, from the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges, and from repeating to herself some few of the thousand poetical descriptions extant of autumn–that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind ofContinue reading “Autumn – weekly pictures”

All Time Favourites – photo challenge

Unfortunately, this will be the last photo challenge of the Daily Post. After nearly eight years, and 380 different weekly photo challenges, they decided to close this chapter. However, this doesn’t mean that I won’t continue posting, it just means that from now on, the weekly photo content topic is picked by myself. I amContinue reading “All Time Favourites – photo challenge”

Twisted – photo challenge

This week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about something ‘twisted’. It could be something that is literally twisted around something like a flower might be twisted around a stone. Or it could be a twisted shape such as a specific shell or a snail shell. However, it also could be something more abstractContinue reading “Twisted – photo challenge”

Awakening – photo challenge

This week’s photo challenge is about ‘awakening’. With Spring around the corner, the world slowly begins to awake from hibernation and the flora starts to bloom again which is always exciting and a special time of the year 🙂 I love seeing how the world comes back to life after a long winter, listening toContinue reading “Awakening – photo challenge”

I’d rather be – photo challenge

I just caught myself daydreaming about the lovely places ‘I’d rather be’ right now while procrastinating the work I actually should finish, when I realised that this was this week’s topic of the Daily Mail’s photo challenge 😀 As the weather just turned winterly cold again my mind took me to the lovely West coastContinue reading “I’d rather be – photo challenge”

Out of this world – photo challenge

I’m very sorry for posting a little delayed again! However, I still wanted to catch up on the weekly photo challenges, hence, here is my post for last week’s topic ‘out of this world’. In my opinion, it is a really lovely idea. We all get used to ‘normal’ things that surround us. However, sometimesContinue reading “Out of this world – photo challenge”

A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge

Last week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post was about ‘a face in the crowd’ but with a slight twist. Instead of exposing the person on the picture, anonymity is the key – meaning capturing a person’s shadow, picturing them from behind, or when they hide their faces. I really liked this idea, especially asContinue reading “A Face In The Crowd – photo challenge”

Tour Guide – photo challenge

This week’s photo challenge of the Daily Post has the topic ‘Tour Guide’. It is about showing the most interesting or significant places of the places someone grew up. As I was looking through my pictures thinking of places around the area I grew up that mean something to me, I quickly had to realiseContinue reading “Tour Guide – photo challenge”
