A tree trunk

Alright, so I can actually access the internet from my own computer now, so you'll get an increase in the number of posts...although I haven't made all that much lately, my excuses are busy, tired and I don't want to buy more supplies before I move home (in about three weeks now), but I do have a few things that are in the works.

I was walking around this park the other day (it's really lovely, all enclosed and secret, but very neat and with lovely curving paths), and there was this gorgeous tree trunk tucked away in a little corner. For once I had my camera with me, so I snapped some photos and then had a bit of fun playing with the colour and sharpness on a couple of them, because I just loved the texture of this tree trunk.

Fishy Photos

When I was at university I had to do lots of work experience during my holidays (so I didn't really get that many holidays!). Anyway, I managed to go to the aquarium quite a bit which was lots of fun, particularly when I got there before it opened and I could go behind the scenes and everything. Anyway, here are some of my favourite photos.




For some reason, I've always thought sharks were really cool and misunderstood. This little one was cute, and I kind of wanted to pat him, but I didn't.

Wow

I went for a long walk into the city the other day and for once I actually took my camera and I grabbed a shot of this.



Isn't it amazing. I just love that someone has painted that on their wall. It just made me smile when I walked past.

Snapshots from a bathroom

The building I'm living in is pretty old, and while some of it is just...old, the bathroom has quite a lot of character.




I love the way black and white photographs force you to acknowledge light and shade and can give images such depth.

Beads, Lovely Beads

Sorry I haven't posted for over a week, I've been nice and busy and all that stuff.

Anyway, during the week I got a wonderful parcel with beads and wire and findings and I think I've played with my new acquisitions most days since I got them, because they're lovely.


Ooooh, pretty 



As well as my beads, I thought I'd make a resolution to try and take more pretty photos, not necessarily of crafty things, but just of pretty things, and these are the first photos. Don't you agree they're pretty?
