{snapshot} a little birdy told me … there’s a giveaway

No. 1

I promised myself on the weekend I would get my camera out and take some photos. It had been too long ~ the folders in my photo manager mocked me with their long ago dates.

I find the hardest part is actually getting the camera out ~ once you have it in your hand, on the table, near the door, around your neck ~ well you snap everything and anything.

No. 2

Like these little lovelies that arrive every autumn to pick their way through our birch trees.

No. 3

Thankfully they were impervious to me standing there, snapping away and even came to the closest branches to me. The only thing was they were quick and camoflauged which made catching them on camera a bit of a challenge.

No. 4

I thought about putting these in the shops and, because I had a little series, I thought they might make another nice faux polaroid set which come in a set of three.

But I thought I would let you choose which three you would like to see a series and, if you leave a comment below, I’ll get mr random.org to pick someone to send the final set to.

You can vote here in the poll, picking the three that you think would make a nice series, and leave a comment below. And thanks for you help!

Update: Forgot to mention, open to international readers and giveaway will close next Monday at noon AEST!

{lime link love} ed. xxviii ~ real food and instant photos

pola+flickr

Ahhh the weekend! But two days is just never enough for everything I’d like to do ~ too many ideas, too much inspiration, too little time. Know the feeling.

Me, I feel an urge to bake, want to take lots of photos (I had to pull this one from the archives it’s been so long since I took any just because photos), do some writing and planning, and some pottering around home. Inbetween weekend football and a party tonight.

So be warned, you may not want to read on ~ there’s more ideas and inspiration right here. Sadly, I’ve haven’t found the solution for more time.

And #74funthings on Twitter ~ feel free to join in!

Have a great one ~ whatever you plan to do.
