I’ve really enjoyed this week of the project. I really wanted to try to vary the shots a lot more and to try to push myself with the editing. I’m hoping that I can continue to do this. However in the back of my mind I want to make sure I have lots of family photographs, and portraits so please stay with me!
Day #8 In a Spin
**This Weeks Favourite**
Miss N, had just had a bath and was spinning around, so I tried to capture it, before she went dizzy.
I like this one, as you can see her profile, but her hair is in full swing.
Day#9 By the Light of the Silvery Moon
It had to be this shot of the moon today. My eldest has just started the topic of Space.
And the moon looks so good, not exactly silvery…but beautiful tonight!
Day #10 The Kiss
This is an experiment with my new camera. It’s a multi-shot 16 setting. I’ve also played around with the colours, adding a pink tint to the image in B&W.
This is me and Miss A, so a kinda self-portrait!
Day #11 Baking with Chef A
We baked cakes and made flapjacks today.
My Mum, Grandma G came. It really was so funny as Chef Miss A, ate more cake mixture than she put in the cases, declaring it yummy!
Day #12 Drying Pasta Flowers
Whilst I was on a walk I came across a large tree with these long flowers on it. I didn’t have any other foliage but this. It looks yellow, verging to a pale acid green colour, at the top is a red flower. I’m not sure what the tree/plant is called, but had to photograph it. It reminded me of long strands of pasta drying out in the wind.
If anyone has any idea what it’s called I’d be really grateful.
Day #13 Dinosaur
I took this today when my brother-in-law came to visit. Miss A was showing her Uncle a dinosaur, and giggling, so managed to take this mid laugh. Not great focus, but it reflected today perfectly.
Day #14 Frosty Morning
It’s a beautiful morning in Nottingham today, the sun is shining but it is very cold! Before the frost has melted, I managed to capture this rose…a lonely specimen in the garden. I love the ice crystals on it.
I shot it in macro mode…but I’m not sure about the focus, hope I’ve done it justice. Happy weekend!

You have done superbly this week, fantastic variation in the subject matter and style of your photos and all brilliant. Love the rose, have never seem that before, who on earth is it flowering now? And the favourite shore is a great opportune moment.
Thanks for linking up

I’ve even had hydrangea’s trying to flower all winter! Thank you, for your really lovely comments :))
HonieMummy (honieBuk) says
Lovely pictures, I like Day 8 also – it’s seeing them do the things that they stop doing when they get older that are precious. When they’re this young they don’t care who’s watching – long may it continue!
theanamumdiary says
Oh, I REALLY hope it does :))
Mammasaurus says
Lovely photos all of them – especially liking ‘the kiss’ very Andy Warhol!
theanamumdiary says
Yes, not realised that before, but you are right!

Love the rose shot. Next door still have some roses out – amazing for January.
theanamumdiary says
TBH, I’ve never seen frost n a rose before…so had to photograph it! 🙂
bluebirdsunshine says
The spinning hair shot is great. I think pics of children lend themselves to pics with lots of movement. Some lovely photos too.
theanamumdiary says
I think I’m nearing the end of Miss N being so free with me taking photographs of her…so this one is really special, thank you!
Nikki Thomas says
You have taken some beautiful photos this week! My favourite is the kiss!
theanamumdiary says
I love that be too!
Emma says
I love the rose, so wish i had a camera to do smart things!
theanamumdiary says
Thank you, it’s not an expensive camera, but the lens seems really good 🙂
Notmyyearoff says
Love the moon and kiss pics, very nice!
theanamumdiary says
Thank you, I think the kiss is fab too…a great memory! 🙂
jenny Paulin says

theanamumdiary says
Thank you!
Rebecca says
Wow these photos are amazing! I love the frosted rose one, beautiful. Think the are going to be a lot of flowers which will suffer from having such a mild start to the year if the weather stays cold.

I have the rose as my desktop pickie – so I guess this is my fav – allbeit a little sad, as the rose will surely die! I do like the kiss and ‘HonieMummy’s’ comments made me think, it’s so true. I love the moon photo, looks perfect – oh damn it – I LOVE’M ALL!!!!! Keep up the good work hun xxx
