A little photographic interlude today. Same bush, blooms in all different stages. All taken with a macro lens, late afternoon light.
action: take more photos
January 3, 2011 By 2 Comments
One of my goals for the new year was to take more photos. To help me achieve that in 2011, I’ve made a new home purely for daily photoblogging. It is called quotidien, which roughly translated means “daily”, and is where I’m going to share everyday photos, sort of in a project 365 fashion, but also inspired by the wonderful habit, with a short sentence describing that everyday moment.

christmas viewing: the snowman
December 21, 2010 By 3 Comments
This Christmas, I have seen several references to The Snowman ~ from the oblique {on twitter} to the upfront ~ and wondered, was this the same DVD we watched each Christmas. I must admit, I hadn’t noticed references to this particular film, or book before.
In fact it is, and I’m ashamed to say I was completely oblivious to its classic and iconic place in British festive history.
The Snowman is a children’s book by Raymond Briggs, adapted into a short, animated film {both are wordless} and first shown on TV on Christmas Eve in 1982. It was even nominated for an Oscar.
We have the DVD in a set of three Christmas DVDs given to us one Christmas. Honestly, I thought it was probably from one of the bargain pick-ups you find in a bin near the door. Although we loved it, particularly The Snowman and particularly, for me, the scene above which features the song Walking on the Air. Beautiful song, beautiful film, beautiful illustration.
You can read more about The Snowman here and watch it on You Tube in Part I and Part II.
