The green fence

Usually I walk on the other side of the road on my walk to the train station every morning and evening but this time, I walked on the side of the road with the green fence. I've shared photos of this fence before but this time I spent a bit longer looking for interesting details - there's something about the cracked paint and the juxtaposition against nature that I really love.

Just after I took these, I also saw a series by Mindy of the same fence on Instagram, isn't it a small world!

Around where I live

I haven't added to this series for a while but moving house earlier this year has me walking a lot more around the area and I even get to walk past Kirkstall Abbey every day too! I usually stop at the spot I took the photo below to admire it - it really is lovely in any weather or season!

I took the last photo as my husband loves cats and this one was looking so intently at something to the left that it made me chuckle that it didn't even notice me. Of course as I went to take the photo it finally realised I was there and gave me the stare you can see above haha. Cats huh.

Around where I live

I love this series on my blog - I think its easy to get used to where you live and forget to see the wonder and beauty around you - so I like that new cameras or finishing a roll of film make me want to go out and see things afresh.

Around where I live...

This is another unintentional series on here, but again I love it :)

Last weekend Thomas and I decided to go for a little walk - and as it was relatively bright (you know, for England in the Winter...) I took my camera with me too. This is my second outing with the Canon EOS 750 and I think I like it, its simple, you focus and you press the shutter.  Sometimes you just want a simple and reliable camera and I think this is a good choice with just that little bit of extra control in the focus.

I love these photos too - the merry xmas graffiti amuses me as it hadn't been covered up yet and it was January still, I love the bookshop on the main road, I've always wanted a photo of the run down pub and the blossom is really early this year (compared to this photo which was taken in March last year!) And of course you can't have photos of Kirkstall without photos of the abbey :)
