Wow! How did we get get to September (nearly) so quickly? This year has flown by so fast. Maybe because it has been such a lovely Summer with lots of lovely sunshine and (too) hot weather.
This year I have not travelled very much with my camera, hopefully will get out and about in the Autumn months (my favourite season).

Another photograph to water colour style image for this lovely Friday evening. Hope you like this one.
If any of you are interested in creating your own drop me a message on here and I’ll add a link to the tutorial that I use on YouTube.

I’m back! Sorry for the silence for the past few weeks which have been so busy and hot, that I’ve neglected a journal post! But, I’m here with some time to write one, I’m also in the process of maybe changing domain name as I’ve gone back to wordpress.com for now.

As it has been too hot and bright for me to focus on photography I’ve been working on creating some effects using Photoshop. It isn’t just a button that you press to create these, you have to have many layers and change the filters etc. Each one can create up to 30-60 minutes to create.

If any of you are interested in creating your own drop me a message on here and I’ll add a link to the tutorial that I use on YouTube.

What a most beautiful start to the start of the UK Summer holidays.

A more enjoyable heat of 20+ instead of searing 35°+

The past few weeks have been so busy and hot, that I’ve neglected a journal post! But, I’m here with some time to write one. Enjoy the sun and have a lovely day!

What a hot and sunny week this has been; of course now it is the weekend it’s gone cooler again! But, that didn’t stop me from visiting some lovely gardens today. My focus this time was on the beautiful peonies that have sprung up this week. My own have already been and gone so it was nice to see these still flowering and looking stunning.

Well, May was a busy month!
I was commissioned to photograph a very beautiful (and green) country garden at the end of the month in a very rural location. I have put a few images up (there are lots more to edit) hope you like them.

Bank Holiday Weekend

Posted on Posted in travels, Videos, YorkshireTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Hope you are all having a great Bank Holiday (UK) weekend? I’m having a lovely one: the weather could be a bit sunnier but at least it’s dry.

I’ve spent most of the weekend in the garden and my garden project is nearly complete, I’ll put a before and after up later on.

May 1st and Breezy Knees Gardens in Warthill are open again for the season. Lots of pretty blossom on the trees and lots of flowers in bloom. I can’t wait to see how the gardens change throughout the year. A quick video of part of my visit. Let me know if you want to see more like this.

A big THANK YOU to all who have bought me a coffee (donated) to keep my page up and running, it is much appreciated. If you want to make a one of ‘coffee’ please see the link at the bottom of the page.
