Hello and thank you for calling in...

My name is Helen and I am a Photographer living in England. I started this Blog on the day that my Grandma died, three months after my Father died and several weeks before a third funeral. Initially it was a very personal way to stay connected to the people I'd lost and it helped, it really did. But writing and taking pictures everyday has opened back up a creative side that I had lost during the everyday. A big thank you to my followers, to those who take the time to comment and to new visitors, I hope we will become Blog friends too...

Black & Yellow

This year there was more yellow in the landscape than I had ever seen before and a stormy day black sky made a great contrast. I just had to pull over and snap this storm on the horizon over the fields. It looks almost tornado like!
The gloomy light dulled the vivid yellow a little but as the storm came nearer and the sky turned really black I managed a few snaps before the huge raindrops arrived and I had to dive back into the car.
I meant to go back on a sunny day and get some more shots of the fields with a blue sky but the plough beat me to it and that's probably how it should be :-) this year it should be black and yellow, next year it will be yellow and blue.

A New Location

I find myself regularly now in pastures new.. in a City! It's exciting exploring new places and I'm sure there will be much more camera wandering to come but for now the Cemetery is providing many photography opportunities. It's taking me a while to find my eye again I have to admit as it's been a long time but that joy is still there although shockingly my eyesight isn't.
WOW! seems like time is not the only thing that's moved on since I last posted. What a weird feeling it is to not be able to see the image through the viewfinder or even the image on the Live View...well that's different from before! It took a bit of getting used to but it's just a case of faffing with glasses a bit :-)
