52 Week Project - Week 12

We are still in England, and in honour (yes with the English spelling) of Lou, it had to be an Audrey Hepburn quote which I felt suited them perfectly.

We stayed a few days last week with my brother Wesley and his lovely girlfriend Lou, Wesley of course was very excited to get to have photographs taken. He was not in the least bit worried about what neighbours might think, or sitting on the ground. He was perfectly relaxed and enjoyed the experience thoroughly! Believe that if you will! What is it about guys?

Just because I can...here are a few extra.

52 Week Project - Week 11

We are currently in the UK for a family vacation. Coming 'home' does not always feel like a vacation, it can be hard work, with family to visit and much driving to be done. But we started in London and pretended to be tourists, showing my children some of the sights. I have been in awe of the buildings, the attention to detail and just how beautiful they are. I do not normally think buildings are beautiful but I have seen with fresh eyes.

My picture for week 11 is the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, where Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married. It is 'a symbol of the hope, resilience and strength of the city and nation it serves. Above all, St Paul’s Cathedral is a lasting monument to the glory of God.'

And just because I have been busy with my camera, a few more:

 

52 Week Project - Week 10

Thrilled to finally be able to blow bubbles on a consistent basis.

52 week project

There will unfortunately be a delay posting the next few weeks' photos. We are currently in England and I brought my laptop so that I could still download and edit photographs, but last night, part of a cup of tea spilled on my laptop and today it does not seem to be working. I am sad and frustrated and praying for a miracle!

52 Week Project - Week 9

My little girl turned five this week. It is so bittersweet to watch our children grow. More often than not I wish I could stop time and keep them as these sweet children, yet with each new accomplishment I burst with pride at who they are becoming. I cannot stop time, no-one can, and this is one of the many reasons I love photography. All the little details that I could not possibly remember, probably even by next week, can at least be captured and looked back on again and again.

Before I had children I did not fully understand how precious each and every moment was. Our life, our time is a gift, not to be squandered. That minute, hour, day, week that has passed, we will never have it back again, it is gone forever. Let's make it all count.
