UK this time - Cosby Beach

This was taken a while back, in 2006 .. One lovely evening, Hubby & I had nothing else to do, so we took a ride out to Cosby Beach to see Anthony Gorman's bronze statues .. Well worth the trip ..

It was a gorgeous evening, and the beach was busy, without being too crowded .. Managed to get lots of lovely photos, but thought this one depicted the evening really well ..

Might post some others, at another time .. :o)

Time I Started Posting Again

It's two whole years since I last posted on here, not sure why I haven't, because I have still been taking photographs ..

Hubby & I have, in the past two years, been to many places in the globe, from the Caribbean to the Canaries to Russia ..

We boarded the Celebrity Eclipse in Southampton, on a 14 day trip to the Canaries ..



At one port, they tested the Lifeboats .. This has happened on all of the cruises we've been on, at least once on each trip ..



Inside, there is an actual Living Tree, right in the centre of the ship - during the day, you can see if for all it's glory, leaves & all - but, at night, multi coloured lights appear to make it come alive ..

Kamera -v- Kraft - Often intertwined ..

We often take photos and use them to make cards, or we include them in scrapbooks, as mementos of our family lives or holidays ..

In this, my photograph blog, I hope to show how I have come to love taking photographs; some purely as a snapshot of 'time' and some to change & manipulate in Photoshop, to be used in my crafting hobby ..

For example - back in 2006, I visited Sussex & on a tour around a church, took this not-so-good photograph ..



After loading it into Photoshop, and twiddling with it for a while, I produced these two Tea-Bag Tiles - which can be used to create a medallion (several of them) - or the symmetrical tile could be replicated as a background paper ..





I offer these 2 TB tiles as Freebies - please leave a comment if you download .. :o)

I hope you all enjoy my work ..
