I worked out today (for no particular reason) that today is day 1117. That is a lot of days to have taken a picture for. Three and a bit years sounds like a long time, but 1117 days sounds like forever.
Feeling a bit out of touch with my photography for the last two days. I always find these winter months hard post Christmas. Too dark in a morning to shoot, too dark when I get in from work to shoot, and I feel like I have shot everything in the house before.
I’m sure it will pass though, especially as I am going away for the weekend on Friday ^_^ and(!) the excitement of it being my birthday on Thursday might spur me on towards the back of the week!
Today the weather has been rather miserable. After a heat wave comes a storm, and we have had storms and heavy rain on and off all day. It is very humid (my decision to do pilates at 4pm was not one of my finest) however despite this I have managed to have a productive day.
I got up and sorted out some images I wanted to print out for various photo frames around the house, I cleaned the kitchen, painted my nails (rare occurrence), had a nap (regular occurrence), did pilates, then casually thought about today’s photo.
I don’t know if it’s the rain, or the fact I’ve had a little run of inspiration but I couldn’t think of anything to do. I was in effect “trapped” inside the house which might have hindered my creative juices (I get cabin fever very easily, and love love love being outside).
Tried various idea with these orchids. Felt bad for cutting them from the plant but it is on it’s way out. It’s had a good running though as my mum bought it me for my birthday way back in January and I’m hoping it will grow back (I seem to be the Queen of regrowing orchid plants).
