GIF Wednesday

Well whadda ya know - it's Wednesday again!

...

As the little green Island on which we live becomes increasingly urbanised and our lives ever busier, we rarely get a chance to look up and enjoy whats above us be it due to lack of time, light pollution, lack of green space... So to have the opportunity to see such perfect skies was an exciting chance to capture some dramatic pictures. Seeing something so clearly which is in fact so far away is really quite extraordinary. Here I have imitated the moon's path across the sky.

When was the last time you enjoyed a clear night? Much of star gazer?



Happy January!

Hello all you lot in the blogosphere!
It's been a while eh?! I hope you all had a superb festive season and are entering the new year with renewed energy and vigour!...Who am I kidding, January is a tough, long and work-crammed month for the best of us. So to cheer you all up on this soggy Tuesday, I shall be taking a photographic overview of jolly holiday memories past in a series of posts!
Today, a whistle stop tour of my Christmas and Boxing day:

Happy Christmas! Me and my lovely brother!

Cards: A compulsory Chrimbo day activity - a much preferred charades alternative... 

The Cake! 

Here are a few shots of the moon I caught on a little late-night stomp. The last one was done by super-imposing three shots of the moon using the same settings but from different angles. 

On the walk around a very dark and deserted, sleepy, turkey-stuffed Oxford neighbourhood.

Some twinkly lights through a hedge.

Will being pulled along on his spangly-new penny board by Licky-Mickey the crazy dog...

Me having a little mess around with my new camera (woo!!!) and dad's iphone to create a picture of a picture of picture...go figure!

 A quizzical look... 

Musical gifts were enjoyed in the car...though not perhaps by all simultaneously...a wide range from Of Monsters and Men to Wu Lyf to Kylie!

And then all that was left was the rainy journey down to Cornwall for the new year! (Look out for more on that in a post sometime soon...)

So that's it; a little trip down memory lane to shake off the January blues. Feel free to comment below, I'd love to know how you are coping with this cold and dreary month!
