Blossom/Trees [Leap into Spring!]
I thought it would be quite interesting for me to talk to you today about perspective and perception in how it relates to photography. Kristi has covered the more technical aspects of perspective in her post about composition, I’m going…
Spring Cleaning
I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. Maya Angelou We had a industrious weekend at home, I caught the spring cleaning bug so I’ve been sorting out a lot of things around…

Easter/Eggs [Leap into Spring!]
Easter weekend, for us, was spent at home. We relaxed in our apartment with windows wide open for fresh air, although the brightness of the sunshine was a little deceiving and the breeze was still quite chilly. Sunday was a…
Planting
With the threat of any frost seemingly over early (although you can never be quite sure in Chicago) I thought that it might be time to take a risk and plant some of our seeds outside. We have little space…

The Miraculous in the Common
The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Sometimes it feels as though it’s difficult to know where you’re going. Perhaps you know where you want to eventually be, perhaps not….
My Little Assistant
We gave Mikey a small digital camera for his 4th birthday last September. It’s a “proper” compact camera, not one of those ones designed for children, so he’s not allowed to have it all the time to throw around the…
Buds, Blossom, Leaves
Yet more beautiful weather again this week in Chicago. There are leaves on some trees, splashes of colour on others, and daffodils pushing their way up through the warm earth into the sunshine. We are usually outside most days anyway,…
Early Spring
I can barely believe the beautiful weather we have been having in Chicago. Each day, my windows have been wide open in every room, a cool breeze gently blowing through. And the sunshine is glorious. Even the shoots and buds…
