Day 228

This morning Alexei painted some boiled eggs, and himself, in preparation for an easter egg roll at the pre school picnic. His painting style is quite haphazard, but effective nonetheless! Following the picnic,  he portrayed a brilliant worm in the nursery play; now he is having some well earned downtime after such a busy day.

Day 227

Today, instead of taking pictures after class as planned, I had to drive around looking for a garage that still had some petrol in it, before I ran out. Unfortunately, the panic buying in Berkshire meant that it was a lost cause……. Returning home, I noticed that the plum tree had suddenly blossomed and so […]

Day 226

A bit sad today that I did not get a photo of Barnaby as he turned 6. However, he was at school all day; I helped in the afternoon walking them to and from the Easter church service, and then as soon as school finished we went to a local play/animal park with friends, but […]

Day 223

Today Barnaby hosted a party for his forthcoming 6th birthday. Roly The Magician took care of the kids and had them completely entertained, though not so quiet! It was not a day for taking photos as I was busy making cakes, tea, supervising present opening etc, plus my memory card was already full from the […]

Day 222

I seem to have lost a day and with a pregnancy brain, I cant even remember what photos I took on friday. However, on saturday, we took the boys to their first ever football match and I may have deleted my card before uploading the previous day’s photos. Anyway, we enjoyed the match, even if […]

Day 221

Another day I was able to get out and take some pics and I have been wanting to snap this view for months. I drive past this view a few times a week and have noticed the colours changing as we head into spring – I did enhance them post processing. Again I want to […]

Day 220

I managed to get outside today and take some pictures of The Thames. I like the composition of this picture, but want to return with a tripod to get complete sharpness. I played around post processing to get this painterly effect.

Day 219

Lately I have had some (paid) work to do, so can’t turn it down, but it means that my limited time is limited even further and so I am finding it a challenge sometimes to get my daily photo in… but as it is also a diary record for myself, why not photograph the book […]
