winter sea

As wonderful as it is to lie on a hot summery beach, there is something magical about being by the sea when it's cold. I find the wintery colours so intriguing.  I spotted these little babushkas in the window of a house when wandering around Robin Hood's Bay last year. The sea captain and his crew with their pipes are so perfect I couldn't help but stop to capture them.

season's close

I can't believe it is almost the end of autumn already. This season has flown by and I can't help but wish the leaves had stuck around in their beautiful reds, yellows and oranges for a little longer. They have brought a smile to my face as I passed them on my short drive to work and I shall miss them once they have all gone. But I do love the symbolism that winter brings, as the trees appear dead but continue to grow under the cold until they blossom again in spring.


one month..

..till this man arrives in the country. I can't wait!

autumn in leeds

I took these two photos on a walk into town to try and use up a film I wanted to get developed. One of my favourite buildings in the city centre, this view is now blocked by a new development alongside it. A surprise colour leak always makes me smile and reminds me of the unpredictable nature of film photography, which is one of the things I love about it.

pause, unpause

Skies like these are long gone since I last made an appearance on this little blog of mine. Various things have kept me away but I have missed posting over the past few months. I haven't quite taken as many photos as I intended to this year but I have aquired a few new cameras and by Christmas should have the much coveted (by me) Pentax K1000 in my posession..watch this space. For now, there are many photos I'd like to share with you and many more moments I look forward to capturing. So if you're still here, thanks for sticking with me and I hope you enjoy reading along.
