Not in Kansas

Regular blog visitors may know how much I love playing with my Sony A5000 picture effects! This was taken on a sunny, clear October day, one of those days that makes you appreciate the beautiful colours of the changing trees and the brilliant blue of the sky. These kind of days are really a rarity, so I wanted this to be the last day of October before the bleakness of Winter sets in for good. 

P.S. Happy Halloween!

Random indeed, but you don't see these machines so much anymore.

The South's First Cat Cafe: Pause, Bournemouth

Having visited Pause Cat Cafe in Bournemouth recently, I wanted to share my lovely experience on National Cat Day! If you love cats and want a calming detox from a stressful lifestyle, this is an amazing place to go.

Siblings

The bright sunlight coming through these girders was quite something and when coupled with the figures playing on the beach it makes for a shot with lots of interest. I turned the photo black and white to keep a focus on the light and shade.

Waves

The sea at Bournemouth on a sunny Autumn day: I used a slow shutter speed to achieve the soft water effect.

Seventeen

This used to be the front door to my house growing up. Now it is the back door. It's a charming door.

Green & Red

Peppers starting to decay in the garden! I liked the colours. Can you believe there's only 65 days left of this year?

Tea for Four

Tea and birthday cake- this isn't a perfectly aligned, 'Instagram-perfect' shot and I like it that way. Growing up, our house wasn't tidy, but it was cosy. I think this image reflects us.

Birthday Cake

Taken at my parents' birthday celebration, Daisy is our family pet cat who is eighteen years-old and still sniffing out any opportunity to steal some food. She's a frail and deaf old lady, but she is very sweet and affectionate with a loud purr.
