Colourful bangles

I love the rich colours and the traditional style of these bangles, which are typically used to add a bit of bling or sparkle to an outfit. This pair can be found here if you’d like to know more

Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated

I thought I’d have another go at the Weekly Photo Challenge with this week’s theme being ‘saturated’. I thought this photo was fitting, what do you think?

Colourful cupcakes

Posted on September 16, 2013 by myeye1

My sister has become quite talented at making cupcakes, all she needs is to be told what colours you want them in. These bright and colourful cupcakes were made for a henna party recently.

And the best thing is not only do they look great they taste delicious too

This precious gem collection isn’t mine (unfortunatley) but is housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I love the way the stones have been arranged in colour order and seem to be located in a dark secret place, which they kind of are as you’re not allowed to take pictures but I was being a bit sneaky (and before you ask, yes I got told off and had to put my camera away afterwards)

Blood red

I love the intense colour of these Dahlia flowers and the rich detail and texture they have too. These have sprung up in our garden recently and seem to grow quite easily.

Each Peach, Pear Plum

Posted on September 5, 2013 by myeye1

A short time ago I posted a blog about cherries that we had from our neighbours’ garden this summer and I mentioned that we had a couple of fruit trees in our garden too; a pear tree and a plum tree (sorry, no peaches, not in this country anyway). At the time the fruit was just beginning to grow and now after a long hot summer the fruit is finally ripe and ready to eat – well the plums at least anyway, the pears still need a little more time.

I thought I’d share a few photos of the fruit as they look so good. The plums we have are called Victoria

My sister’s father-in-law is visiting at the moment and was pleased to be able to pick the ones that were ripe. They were really soft and juicy and enjoyed all round

Our pear tree grows pears called Conference. The ones in our garden are almost ripe

I’d love to hear what others have in their gardens at this time of year

Decorated hands

Its still wedding season for a lot of people so I thought I’d share a photo of a bride’s hands which in typical South Asian and Middle Eastern culture are decorated with Henna.

Golden Hour

I love taking photos at this time of day as the effects achieved always look so magical. In this photo I really like how the water seems to glimmer and draws you eye across to the cliffs. What do others think of taking photos at this time of day and are there any tips that you’d like to share?
