Through The Lens Thursday #20. Round.

Published by

I didn’t realize how many round things are in my ‘I like this’ department.  I like my wood rings from Philomena and Ruth, my silver rings made by Kate McKinnon, the two charms on leather which I made yesterday and the string of beads which I will most likely fashion into a bracelet for the summer.  Lots of things to like. I find that I tend to wear the same things for a while, then move onto something else.  At the minute I am definitely into my wood rings and I love a casual leather cord with something gorgeous on it, simply tied at the back. What is your ‘go to’ wearable at the minute?  A favorite scarf or shoes, rings or lipstick!  I am trying to be a big girl and wear lipstick and make up more.  When I say lipstick, I mean tinted lip balm, baby steps. Happy Thursday! Through the Lens Thursday details are here and next week is ‘negative space’ which I assume doesn’t mean the naughty corner….!

Through The Lens Thursday 18/52. Upside Down

Published by

  I took this prompt very seriously indeed.  I thought and thought about what I could take for upside down and ended up laying in my back garden with my head upside down and taking a photo of the grass and the white flowers which currently reside there. Let me tell you, it is not easy trying to set camera numbers and settings and look and press buttons while upside down in grass which really needs mowing.  Yes, my grass needs cutting, but the white flowers are all over it and so pretty, I can’t do it (or won’t do it, I will leave judgement up to you!). I suppose I could have made it easier on myself and just taken the photo right way up and flipped it afterwards, but no, I wanted to fully experience the upside down and bugs eye view (if you are an upside down bug) of the world! There were some shots which were a mite more in focus than this one, but I slapped the f stop right …

Through the Lens Thursday 16. Yellow.

Since I took this photo of yellow tulips for this week’s Through The Lens Thursday prompt, I have been seeing yellow things all over the place. I went on a thrifting adventure this morning at Goodwill Outlet (the place where second hand goods go to end their days) and saw a yellow cake stand (which I bought), a yellow teapot (had a chip in the spout so I left it), a yellow banana shaped change purse (bought) and a yellow vintage Lipton iced tea jug (kind of wish I had bought it). I even found some fab yellow thread on a vintage wooden spool and bought it with about 15 other spools once I had dug them out. Isn’t it funny how once you start looking for something, you see it everywhere! I took the tulip photo earlier this week after a downpour and I am pleased with the effect the raindrops have on the picture, especially the ‘highlight’ tulip in the middle. Today the yellow sun is shining and it is nice and warm, …

Through The Lens Thursday #14. Box.

Published by

Boxes, boxes, boxes, so many box options! I settled on a jewelry box which is super old and from my Grandma. I love it, the shabby picture on the top and the slot in the side to use as a money box and the bottom which is made from paper (maybe for lost key emergencies!). The book it is sitting on is a copy of National Heritage which I picked up today, it is from 1949 and chock full of paintings and information. Fantastic stuff! Next week’s prompt is ‘Baked’, so I had better get baking – oh, what a shame…! More information on Through the Lens Thursday including a list of prompts can be found here.
