Inspired by Life Blog Circle | June 365

It’s time again to look back at my images from last month: this is June.

I am officially half way through this current 365!

I remember thinking at the time the whole of June felt like a constant and monotonous countdown, waiting for the last day of school and for the summer to finally begin. It doesn’t seem right that we wish away these days by dreaming about tomorrow or tomorrow’s tomorrow even though there are more exciting days on the horizon. There is beauty and joy to be found in every day, so long as we take the time to appreciate it. I was obviously feeling the *blah* of the waiting and of the daily grind because it was clearly reflected through many days of (frankly, boring) images. But blah does not make the cut, so this gallery is smaller than others. I shall endeavour to better my attitude and my images for July, I promise!

So here is June (minus that blah):

10 on 10 Blog Circle | July 2018

Every once in a while, back when school was still in session, I would find myself with a brief window of time in the day just for myself, once my to-do list was finished but there was still time before pick-up. On this particular day I had 10 minutes. 10 minutes in the garden with my camera. It was spring so there were flowers in full bloom and I could’ve happily spent hours studying each and every one. A 10 on 10 in 10:

Share Six Blog Circle – July 2018 | Curves

Lensbaby Burnside 35mm Share Six Curves plant

The theme for this month’s Share Six blog circle is {Curves}.

My take on the theme may be a little tenuous but I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to share some images taken with the latest addition to my lens collection: the Lensbaby Burnside 35mm. The Burnside not only has gorgeous creamy tones, with the right application it creates beautifully curved bokeh. See what I did there? Look for the swirling curves that draw your eye to the subject:

Summer is here, summer is here! One week left of school and we’re so ready for summer to really start!

Today however, I’m looking back to May: the weather was changeable, Spring was barely springing, I got a new lens and a new website, and I spent more than two days photographing only dandelions:

For this month’s 10 on 10 I’d like to share some images of dandelion seed heads. I didn’t have the equipment to capture these seed puffs when we lived in the UK and I spent three years in the desert wishing they’d grow there, but finally here we are surrounded by them! It’s silly really, in every day life no one wants to see them, but put them in a photograph and they’re really very beautiful!
