Day 52 (Colour) - Lapis Lazuli

Pin It
To some, this is a brilliant blue stone. To me, it a rare Tier 1 mining stone from my online game of choice Everquest 2. Many an hour or ten have I spent on this game simply harvesting the raw materials other gamers needed for crafting. I found it therapeutic and I always got a little thrill every time the writing on screen went yellow and said "You've found a rare item"! Oh how I miss this game that took so many hours of my life. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat if only I knew it wouldn't take over my life again!

Day 51 (Colour) - A game anyone?

Pin It
The subject of some pictures are instantly recognisable. That's what makes the world of branding such a lucrative marketing strategy. It's amazing how we can see just a part of some things and instantly know what it is.

Day 50 (Colour) - Smarties

Pin It
A little inspiration from a box of smarties. Wasn't sure how this might turn out but I'm quite happy with it.

Day 49 (Colour) - Blue Skies

Pin It
After a grey start to the day accompanied with wind and rain, we were delighted to see some blue arrive back into the sky after midday. So instead of being lazy we put our cameras into the car and off we went. After visiting some Roman ruins we headed for the coast to see if we could catch sunset. Blue skies remained and golden hour was in full force but we were disappointed unfortunately by a bank of cloud blocking out the final stages of sunset. Still, it was only our second time to this spot for sunset. However, I reckon it'll be third time lucky! For something a little different I decided to post this picture of the blue skies just before the bank of cloud took over and we headed for home.

Day 48 (Colour) - Ivy

Pin It
We're still in winter months and it amazes me how we can still have luscious green leaves of ivy while everything else around is stark and bare. Nature really is a wonderful thing!

Pin It
It's getting a bit harder to find inspiration to continue on the colour theme. Today we have a constructed image with some coloured feathers.

Day 46 (Colour) - Blue Worm

Pin It
It's amazing what sort of arts and crafts things are in the shops this week as it's half-term. I found a bag of fluffy, coloured pompoms of various sizes and decided to create a blue worm for todays picture using the various sized blue pompoms. Add a little depth of field and off-centre the picture, et voila, est ici image d'aujourd'hui!
