Inspired by Life Blog Circle | June 365

boy-in-bucket-at-the-beach-ceri-herd-photography-massachusetts

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):

Inspired by Life Blog Circle | May 365

Ceri Herd Photography | Massachusetts Photographer

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:

Inspired by Life Blog Circle | April 2018

We’ve almost reached the end of May and that means it’s long-overdue time to look back at my images from April. The beginning of the month already seems like an age ago. These months are whizzing by faster and faster. We had numerous highlights including a trip to North Carolina for Spring Break, an 8th birthday, a taekwondo grading and a wedding anniversary, and that was just the latter half of the month!

[pp_gallery id=”2027″]

I took a ton more images during April, especially from our trip to North Carolina, so it was hard to now it down to one per day. I’ve shared many of the others before, some I will share further down the line, but these images are us living life.

Thank you for joining me for another month.

It’s only a small circle this month so please be sure to click all the way round. Please support my talented friend, Sharleen by clicking here. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us this month!

Until next time,

Share Six Blog Circle – May 2018 | Urban

Another month has been and gone, and here in New England Spring has finally landed! What better excuse to get out and about in glorious weather than a street photography theme. This month at Share Six we want to see your best {Urban} images.

It’s been a busy month round here so I’ve not been able to shoot specifically for this theme. Looking through my archives, it turns out I don’t really do Urban anything! I’ve always told my husband that I want to live in the country, whereas he’d be totally happy in the city with all of its hustle and bustle, but my photographs tell me that I’m supposed to be surrounded by nature. And photography wins, so there you have it, rural-living wins!

Anyway, I digress. I do love street photography, I just don’t seem to do it a whole lot. So I’ve had to dig far far back to find a variety and images I’ve not shared before. Here a few of my favourites from the past few years and a couple from even further back. You may have seen some of couple of them before, and for that I make no apologies.

California > Phoenix > Venice > New York > London > Dallas

I took the image of the Houses of Parliament in 2014, but it’s taken me 4 years to process it. I had only just started shooting manual (literally two days before) and we went on a special evening trip into London so I could experiment with shutter speed. How I long to be there to apply all that I know now! Perhaps this summer I can make that happen?!

There are so many options with this theme: details, cityscapes, documentary and creative techniques. We want to see it all!

Thank you for joining us for another month at Share Six. Please continue around the circle by clicking HERE. I can’t wait to see how the exceptionally talented Nicola of Nicola MacQueen Photography interpreted this month’s theme.

Join us for this month’s theme by posting your {Urban} images on our Facebook page at SHARE SIX and to our Instagram gallery, by tagging #sharesix and #sharesix_urban. A new theme will be posted on 6th June.

Inspired by Life Blog Circle | March 365

The latest edition of the Inspired by Life blog circle is here, and I’m continuing with my 365 highlights. This is March!

If I’m honest, March was a blur. Mostly because of the snow. Lots and lots of snow; a blizzard-like blur. I’ve said it before, our first winter here has been quite the learning curve; March however was something else all together! But the end of the month showed us our first welcome glimpse of spring.
