The Colour H on instagram

Hey so I am now on Instagram, if that is a thing that interests you. It's only been a day or two, I am still trying to figure it out. But it's fun, and a little bit addictive. I am called The Colour H but it wouldn't let me have spaces so you have to look for thecolourh if you want to follow. See you there!

I was flicking through some old photos, and found these. They go back a while to Stacey and James' wedding. Such perfect light. Photo tip: the little gap of time after the sun sets is a really good time to take pictures of people. It's because they don't have harsh light or shadows on their faces, but it's still just light enough for the photo to come out ok, and also its usually a warm, rosy light that is soft and flattering. No people in these pics because the wedding party were off having their official photos done and the guests were inside drinking champagne. But I sneaked out to watch the birds and see the sun set.

Come on spring! Hurry up!

spring?

Are these the first signs of spring? I hope so! This winter has been... not good. Too cold! But I do note the weather forecast has us pencilled in for the tropical delights of 23 degrees this week. Can't wait!

The first real sign of spring for me is when it gets lighter in the evenings. Like when you get home from work, and do some stuff, and - hey, it's still light! Or when you've been home all day and it starts to get dark and you think it might be about 6pm, but - hey, it's 7pm! I enjoy watching the gradual change and in fact it's one of the reasons (amongst others) I voted against daylight saving. I found for those 3 years of the trial that clock turn-over day was too harsh for my system, too much of a jolt, and it confused me. But this is definitely the best part of the year, when the little signs of spring start to peep out... until one day it's fully here.

Hey, so what else are you going to do when given a big bag of shiny red radishes straight out of the ground, but to spend 10 minutes rearranging them for photos? Courtesy of the garden of the Perpendicular Pumpkin.
