I had a great time visiting Amy for lunch/movies yesterday. She let me take some random photos so I could get one to use for my photo a day thing. I managed to get a nice one of Alvin but I got a few other beautiful ones. (Click here to see the rest of the gallery). 🙂 It helps that they’re all so beautifully photogenic!

2017 :)

2016 was a great year for me personally. I got to watch my brother get married, I was able to reconnect with my best friend (of coming up 14 years) and we are now closer than ever and I also purchased my first home. I was also blessed in many other ways too.

It was a busy year with work (extra jobs) and what not so I didn’t have a huge amount of time to spend on my photography or any thing else really but thankfully I anticipate having a lot more time to spend on it this year.

I have many plans for this year (not just for my photography) but for starters I hope to be able to achieve the photo a day thing I attempted in 2014. So to get the ball rolling, this is my first photograph for 2017 and also my image for January 1st 2017. (The gallery for the remaining days/months will be on the side menu)

Day 1 - 01/01/17 - Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula

Special thanks to Amy for helping me decide on the final features my new watermark. 🙂

And a huge thanks to all those who have always been there to support me in all aspects of my life. I wish you all the best for 2017, keep safe. xx

Almost halfway through February 2014 and still going strong with my photo-a-day project.

The foundation stone for the Dunedin cenotaph was laid by the Mayor, H Livingstone Tapley, on ANZAC Day, 1924. Some interesting items were placed in the cavity under the stone, including the official history of New Zealand's part in the war and also Byrne's history of the Otago Regiment, a statement of the bodies of troops that had left Dunedin, and copies of current newspapers. Before the structure itself could be built there was some difficulty in raising the sum required due to the difficult post-war environment. Because of this shortfall in funding, the bronze figures in the original design were left off. The final design took the form of a tall shaft encased in imported Italian Carrara marble. JL Salmond was the local architect and the contract was let in September 1924, at 8420 pounds. The inscription at the base read "The Glorious Dead 1914-1918" with the addition, after World War 2, of "The Glorious Dead 1939-1945". The Cenotaph was unveiled by HRH, the Duke of York, on 17 March 1927, during his visit to New Zealand and is still the focus of ANZAC Day commemorations.

Day 25 of my photo a day project is dedicated to my father and my family ancestry from Scotland.  In a few days I will post a tribute to my mother and my family ancestry from England. 🙂 Also have a few other ideas I want to try over the next few days. 🙂

340 days to go! Hopefully I can stay inspired!

Day 22 of my photo a day challenge and still going strong. Can’t really believe that we are already 22 days into 2014.

Still hoping to come up with some really cool ideas to keep this project varied in its selection of photos. 🙂

Hope today makes for another great adventure.
