2nd February

2012-02-02T10:10:00.000-08:00

It was a cold and frosty morning this morning. I couldn't go anywhere until my windscreen had cleared, so, I decided to take my, "Year of mornings," picture. The frost looked so beautiful.

February already!

2012-02-01T14:25:00.000-08:00

1st February

Love that it's not a perfect bunch ♥

I'm not very good am I? lol

2012-01-30T06:42:00.000-08:00

Well, this year of morning stuff is proving to be a problem for me. I spend all morning running around and completely forget to take my morning picture!

Oh well, here are a few shots, not necassarily taken in the morning, that I have managed to take over the past month.

17th January - what a beautiful morning sky <3

19th January - Took a quick snap of my home-made packaging before delivering a clients CD of pictures to her :o) She loved the packaging so much she's keeping it :D

20th January

Our knitting group received a package at the Library today, containing a booklet and a certificate, as a thank you for knitting some dolls :o)

26th January - 08:25am

26th January - A proud Mummy moment for me. I took one of my daughters to a recording studio. What a beautiful voice she has <3

Bex - Hallelujah

29th January - Ok so not technically taken in the morning, but, I am loving the fact that this seems to be turning into a daily diary for me :o) Here's a shot taken of one of my, many, beautiful daughters

A Year of Mornings

2012-01-16T04:52:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine, Debbi, started blogging about her, "Year of Mornings," this year. So, I decided to join her in her quest, all be it a little later than she started hers.
Here's the link to her blog
Swirly Girl

Now, I'm not going to promise to take a picture every single morning, as I never know what every new day will bring, plus I have a terrible memory, so I may forget to take a picture lol.

Here's what I have so far ...

9th January

Our baby girl's "Dress up as someone famous" day at school.

14th January

I woke up this morning to find this! lol
One of my daughters had been doddling last night before she went to bed.

... and while sitting in the library with my 2 youngest children, I noticed how beautiful the windows looked.

16th January

It's funny when I think about it ... most people see children playing in the playground. I see the light, and the silhouettes and shadows of children playing in the playground :o)

It's been a good year

2011-09-13T13:52:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a year since I posted last. I can't believe how fast that has gone!

In that year I became a member of, "The Royal Photographic Society," where I had the chance to go for my Licentiateship Distinction.
I never realised that working on a panel of 10 images would be such hard work! I mean, after all, I have millions of pictures on my computer surely it's going to be easy?!
Having to make all 10 coherent was more difficult than I had imagined! I felt I would never be able to do it!
I lost a lot of sleep over that and I was so nervous about the whole process, I decided to knit my Grandson a cardigan. I know, that sounds strange, but, because it was a fairly complex pattern I had to concentrate so hard, that it helped to take my mind off my panel :o)
My panel was judged on July 7th and I passed! Yay! I am now officially know as Alison Greenwood LRPS :o)
I hope you like my panel as much as the judges at, "The Royal Photographic Society," did.

Following that, our local Photographic Society had it's annual Photoshow. I entered, of course, with a number of images and gained 1st place, in Slides, People & Portraits category, with "Once Upon a Time"

2nd place, in Slides, People & Portraits Category, with "Radiant"

3rd place, in Slides, People & Portraits Category, with "Fill the Frame"

and 2nd place, in Prints, People & Portraits Category, with "Blow Dry"

And finally, at the end of August, we went to visit my family. Taking the cardigan I knitted for my Grandson with me, I managed to get a picture of him wearing it ... yay! Of all the things to get him to say, to get a natural smile out of him, his Daddy told him to say, "Aubergine," lol. Too funny!
He's such a sweetie.

Until next time ...

In other news ...

I am extremely proud to announce that one of my 14 year old daughters tried out for the County Hockey Team with the Army Cadet Force and made it!
Then she had to go away for the NATIONAL try out ... and made that too!
Then she had to go play matches against other ACF counties in the National Tournament and the North West ACF came 1st!!!
Yay! WTG Jennie and all the other members of her team.
We wanted to show her how proud we were of her so we bought her a Trophy and had it engraved with her name.
Well done Jennie! I am so proud of you!

Oh dear!!!

2010-07-09T16:29:00.000-07:00

I've fallen behind so badly, I don't think I will post all my pictures from the last half of June and the first half of July.
In fact, I have been so bad at keeping up with posting, I think I will just post a favourite as and when I get it.
I just can't keep it up anymore. I am so busy with life in general and photography projects.
I hope you enjoy my favourites.

Anyway, here are days 146, 148 & 149 (I think day 147 was the worst day of my baby girls Chicken Pox. She was so clingy that day, I didn't get much done at all let alone find the time to take a decent picture!)

Patterns on my tiles in my bathroom :D

Day 148 - 28th May

More new clothes from my Aunty.
And even though my baby girl isn't feeling too good she still posed for me so I could send my Aunty the picture ♥

I had to come up with something for a "yesterday or tomorrow" challenge. Not sure if this works but I had alot of fun doing it anyway :D

My hubby is very, very special to me and I feel it's something I have to make him aware of ALL the time :)

2010-04-24T05:57:00.001-07:00

Day 112 - 22nd April

I bought all my kids, my Grandson and Dave the Dish a money box and some mini eggs for Easter this year.
Cost a lot more than just buying hollow eggs but the money boxes were so cute I couldn't resist.
I took a picture of almost all of them.
Another of them is also in amongst my April pictures, on day 105 - 15th April "Ruby Slipper".

Day 111 - 21st April

2010-04-21T16:14:00.000-07:00

What could you possibly buy for the man who THINKS he has everything?
NOTHING!
While he sleeps you nip into town to buy some fabric. Then while he is at cadets you quickly make him a pillow case because his old one is ripped.
What could be nicer than a hand crafted gift? So much more thought, time and effort has gone into creating something for someone so special.
Happy belated birthday darling.
I love you.

Day 99 - 9th April

2010-04-09T12:12:00.001-07:00

I thought I would go out to a public garden today, to capture some of the Spring beauty.
My husband came with me but left me to it while he took 2 of our girls to the park side of the gardens.

Minding my own business, I start taking a shot of daffodils reflections in some water.

There was a group of young boys hanging around the gardens, who obviously didn't have anything to do for the Easter holidays.
Suddenly, I hear one of them, who can't have been more than 12 years old, shout out, "Oi! Stop taking pictures of me you f**king B*tch!"
I was disgusted, to say the least.

I knew it was aimed at me, so, after I finished taking my shot I marched over to the group.

As I approached the group of boys I saw one of them run away and jump over a wall! The offender perhaps?
One of the others, a rather large young man, started walking toward me. I thought maybe I had got it all wrong and he was the one who shouted me and that confronting them was probably the worst thing I could have done alone.
However, the young man very politely said to me, "I am so sorry about my friend, he's in such a bad mood today."

I showed the boy my pictures, "Would you like to know what I was taking pictures of?!" I exclaimed, shaking with fear and anger. "Reflections of Daffodils! There are no pictures of any of you boys on my camera!!!"

The boy looked over his shoulder at his cowardly friend and shouted, "She was taking pictures of Daffodils!!!"

Drama over, I calmly walked away and carried on taking pictures of the flowers. The boys left me alone.

I told my 5 year old son about this when he got home from his friends house. His reaction ... he jumped up and down with excitement, clapping his hands as he cheered, "Yay Mummy!"

I love my son so much :o)

Happy ending...pretty flowers :o)

Don't ya just love happy endings?

Gypsy Tart

A good old fashioned pudding served at school with a Red Apple. (Which was a disgusting budget Apple. Soft and powdery...ugh!!!)

All I wanted to do with that Apple was throw it in the bin. So, I used to try to sneak it out of the dinner hall up my sleeve. The dinner ladies ALWAYS caught me and made me sit down to eat the Apple. I never remember eating it lol.

I sure as heck ate the Gypsy Tart though, AND went up for seconds lol

Now, I remember all of this from when I was about 5 or 6 years old!

Woke up to a little snow this morning and saw a CRAZY window cleaner!

Walking on a sloping roof + Walking on a sloping icy roof = Risk of falling and Paralysis, possibly even death!

He literally proceeds to walk to the top of the larger roof to clean the window.
He must really love his job to risk his life like this!
