Taking a Look at My Pictures #6

If you're a regular reader of my site, you know that I love taking pictures. I must admit that I took more of them in the past, but lately I'm getting back into it. My picture taking kind of suffered like my writing did during the time when I was completing my degree. But now I'm getting back into my pattern of documenting things through photographs. 

Sometimes over the years my pictures have been really wonderful and sometimes they've been kind of lackluster, but for me that's the fun of it. I never know how they'll turn out. I'm no professional as you can see, but I love capturing a moment :-)  

Today I'd like to share a few of my recent pictures. These were taken back in June. The sky was looking stormy and we ended up having a thunderstorm. It reminded me so much of summer evenings back home in Georgia. I'm not crazy about the lightning, but I love how the sky churns and puts on a show of various shades of grey. I took these in black and white, but even if they'd been taken in color they would've been very similar. It got so dark. These are kinda blurry, but I still love them...imperfection is real and it's cool :-) 

    

 I hope you enjoyed taking a look at my pictures. More to come!

Until next time... ;-))

Taking a Look at My Pictures #5

Here's another one of my pictures. I took this the other day when I took a morning walk. It's so peaceful at this spot. I go there when I need to clear my mind and it works every time :-)

Here are a couple of other pictures from my trip to the V&A. If you missed my previous post, you can find it here. As I mentioned before, I'm going to share my various pics here to let you see what I've been up to recently. I had a lot of pics in the previous post, so these were put to the side momentarily, but these are from that same day. I love the V&A and it was the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. The photo to the left shows the tunnel that you walk through from the tube and it guides you right to many of the great museums in London. A guy was performing the song "Billie Jean" on his saxophone as I was walking by. He was really excellent.

The picture above is inside of the V&A. There are a series of busts and statues in this part of the museum. The room itself is beautiful and the art just adds to it.

That's it for today, but more are coming...I never stop taking pictures! Lol! Have a wonderful day!

Taking a Look at My Pictures #3

Here are some of the pictures that I promised to post. As I mentioned in an earlier entry, I've been snapping pics here and there so I want to share them. If you've been reading my blog for a while you know that I have a history of posting various pictures. I don't do this nearly as much as I used to so I'm going to start spilling them all here...watch out! Lol! I love documenting things so I'm always taking a quick pic. Some of the pictures that I'll share are kinda random and some of them like the ones today are from a particular outing :-)

These are some pictures from my day in London a little over a month ago. I was in London for a press event and afterwards I had some time to myself, so I had lunch and then wandered. It was great! It was a rainy day so I spent more time indoors on this trip. I went to one of my favorite places in London...definitely my favorite museum...the Victoria and Albert Museum, also known as the V&A. These dresses are a part of the wedding exhibit that they have going on now. It's a wonderful place to visit on a sunny or a rainy day. I hope you enjoy my pictures!

Have a great weekend!

Taking a Look at My Pictures 2

So today I thought that I'd share another one of my photos that I took a while back. It's another photo from a visit to Avebury. There seems to be a theme here since my previous picture post was from Avebury too. It's a really pretty spot in the world though, so there's always something to take a picture of.

This is a shot of the trees along the edge of one path. As you can see there are no leaves on the trees, but I love a tree like this. Of course I love a beautiful, green leafy tree, but there's something so beautiful also about a tree revealing itself like this with no leaves. To me they look like art as the branches pierce the sky. I love them!

Have a great weekend!

I thought that today I'd share this small photo that I took a while back ... just because. If you've visited me before, you know that I love taking pictures and sometimes they're good and sometimes they're kinda...meh! I don't know what this one is...maybe it's a bit meh, but I guess it doesn't matter...it just is :-)  It's a picture that I took across a field in Avebury. Please click on the picture to enlarge it if you want to get a closer look.

The church is St. James church.

I really like taking pictures in black and white because I love the contrast between the bright white and the varying shades of darkness. Sometimes I think that black and white photographs make things seem more alive.

I have hundreds of pictures of various places around Wiltshire and other places here in England, so I'm going to start sharing more of them here. I hope you'll come back to take a look.

Until next time...
