The world through my lens
02.02.2020 We were lucky enough to get a couple hours of sunshine this afternoon; so much so that it almost felt like spring! I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head out to one of our local ponds to seek out the wildlife. It’s a decent-sized pond so lots of people were […]
01.12.2019 I’ve recently been experimenting with overlays when I’m editing photos to add different textures and colours. I first saw it on a few posts on instagram, where photographers were using bokeh effects on shots of insects and mushrooms. I thought it looked really effective because it adds a sense of magic to the photo […]
30.10.2019 It’s been a while since I took some photos in the garden, and since winter is coming and the flowers are slowly dying, it felt like today was my last chance. It might just be me, but I think there’s something quite beautiful about withering flowers. They’re the tiny specs of colour in a […]
30.10.2019 I’m slowly making my way around all of the zoos and wildlife parks so I can take photos of the animals; last week we visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

16.02.2019 It’s been a good few months since I last updated my blog. I didn’t mean to leave it so long, but I haven’t had a lot of chance to get out and about and take some photos. Hopefully I’ll have more opportunities soon! It’s the middle of February and we haven’t quite made it […]
12.10.2018 On Wednesday, my friend Holly came to visit and we spent the day in Bakewell and Chatsworth. The weather was surprisingly warm on Wednesday and the sun was shining all day, so it was a good opportunity to take some photos of the changing season. After a lovely lunch in my favourite Bakewell coffee […]
27.09.2018 I visited my grandparents this afternoon for lunch and a good catch-up. Since the weather was so nice, we decided to go for a little walk. Apparently, today is going to be the last warm day before autumn really takes hold and the cold weather kicks in. I’m a little bit sad to see […]
