Happy New Year to all, I hope that 2010 is full of good things and happy days for everyone :D
Well, it's been a very hectic couple of months but here I am again, coffee in hand, laptop on my lap and a whole new year to look forward to and get excited about!!
I LOVE this time of year! I love the snow, I love the ice, I love staying in and being cosy wrapped up in my snuggly blanket... talking of which, I got one of those blankets with sleeves for Christmas, yayyy!!!
What a fantastic idea! No more wriggling and yoga-style contortions while trying to pick your drink up without getting your arms out from under the blanket...
...there's even a pocket in the front for your bag of malteser's while you snuggle up and watch the film :-) how good is that?!!
But I also love this time of year for photography.
Sunrise and sunset is at a much more socially acceptable time of day, the light is gorgeous all day with the low sun sparking off the snow and ice.
Even on days when there's no sun to be seen (like today, and yesterday, and every other day that I am able to go out with my camera), there's still more than enough beauty in the landscape and a HUGE natural reflector that makes it absolutely perfect for portraits... people or pets!
Our pooch loves the snow, he goes absolutely bonkers in it leaping about and using his nose to flick it up and eat it. He bounces around like Tigger on caffeine, not entirely sure what the appeal is for him, but he absolutely loves it!
So, what of 2010? I have some huge plans that are needing a bit of behind-the-scenes work to get going, but I am VERY excited about it... what are the plans? Watch this space, I'll let you know later ;)
