This was my CONTRAST photo taken on 13th October during our Location Photography trip to Aberdullais Falls in the Neath Swansea Valleys - I loved how the dew drops sat on these trees, the contrast of the green and muddy path that I was walking along to the falls - the evergreens and the autumn leaves on the floor. I realised on this trip how extremely unfit I have become and how important it is for me to return to nature - my soul feels so much happier! While on this trip I also took this awesome photo of a lavendar bush - I love it!
Next up is Linda's image - just absolutely love the idea that you are using your own images around the house - so special!
and Marriette's image . . .
I must be honest - I am so loving going back to nature - I must also say I have been so inspired by Mariette's journey!
The next TUT (+1) was VINTAGE! After our long treck out to the falls the previous Thursday which was followed by 5 baby shoots at The Barnyard in Pyle on the Friday and an adventure out to Castle Coch in the evening to assist with a 'fashion' shoot on the golf course and then editing wedding photo's on my pc all day on the Sunday - I found I couldn't move! I never realised or had as much sympathy as I now would have for people who suffer backache! I had obviously managed to pinch a nerve as I really could not move - every movement I made sent shock waves through my body! I managed to get an appointment on the Tuesday with an angel! The local Chiropractor in Llantwit Major is an absolute star and after only one aggresive treatment I was pain free! Not quite out the woods but at least I could get some sleep! I had chosen the theme {i think?} as I knew I could rely on my styled shots of Skyla! We had her in a vintage dress and fur wrap with lace gloves - quite a looker I think!
I also stole this shot of Sarah's daughter - Christy - a true model who is now working and studying in London - what a pleasure to see her in action . . . and the last of the days sunshine playing on the castle wall was delightful!
Linda did well with her shot ....
Very clever indeed! As always totally out the box - I love it!
and Mariette's too .....
Beautiful DOF! Love it!
Last's weeks theme was OCTOBER chosen by Linda {i think!} - I didn't get anywhere near taking photo's after another wedding, more shoots at The Barnyard, more treatments on my back and overcoming two huge obstacles - Kay's mom's visit [I got through it unscathed! And may I add it made me so much stronger! Lance and I are now building on solid foundations but more of that to come with a HUGE announcement!] AND Meagan and Luke going to Spain for a week! {they are home safe and sound!}
As always our circle celebrated Samhein in style and it was lovely to sit and carve my pumpkin! To make pumpkin fritters and spicy pumpkin soup . . . but what was more special was to see my husband deal with emotions and a situation that has been locked up in a box in his heart for the past four years - I am so proud of my man - I love him more than anything and am so glad to be sharing his life with him!
Here is my pumpkin
and Lance's too
{sorry he sent it to me in the wrong format - will add later!}
and here is Linda's artwork . . .
Love that both photo's link to such a special lady - my other Mom - the Mom that taught me a love of pumpkin fritters - Aunty Rose you were constantly in my thoughts and so highly spoken about whilst trying to meet your high level of pumpkin fritter making! I just didn't reach the target but will keep on trying! Love and miss you loads - xx
and Mariette's too
Love that fact that Mariette looks up for inspiration!
Signing off to rush off to the dentist and then on to my Darkroom lecture - photo's will be added later as for some strange reason I cannot get into my email account!
With love . . . . Me x
