Lotherton Hall Mash Up

As mentioned in my last post (Her Red Coat) I recently went to a place called Lotherton Hall. It's a beautiful old house near Leeds with surrounding gardens and a bird sanctuary, excellent for taking photos!

I have managed to get 4 different posts out of the photos I took that day, including the red coat and this compilation of bits and bobs, (very organised of me to already have them set up!) and so here is post number 2!

It was a sunny but very cold day when myself and my girlfriend decided to trek on over to Lotherton Hall. After paying 5 pounds each, which was a little steep seen as she had told me that last time she went she only paid to park there, we had a little wander about in the house and then onto the gardens and bird sanctuary. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take photos in the house, despite me trying my best to look like a pro and putting the attendants on the spot asking them with a big grin on my face. however when we got to the gardens I went snap happy and here are some of the results! More post on Lotherton to follow!

1. Leaves of a bush with the sun shining down

2. Part of a wreath

3. Green and yellow leaf

4. Bricks

5. The whole wreath

6. Leaf close up

7. Hay bale

8. Muddy flower after the rain

For some of these I used my Gorilla Pod. Don't forget to enter my competition where you can win one of them for yourself!

Her Red Coat

Lotherton Hall near Leeds is where today's photos come from. It's an old house with surrounding gardens that are really pretty. So in the new year, myself and my girlfriend decided to go and have a look around and go and take some pictures! To be honest I will probably get 3 or 4 posts out of the photos I have taken at Lotherton Hall, which is really lucky as I won't be going out much this week with exams and hand ins!

In this post, it is all about one thing. Her Red Coat. Luckily for me, this was the first time she had worn the coat! I have never really taken photos of her from far away, and until now. I was lagging behind (trying to snap some leaves) when I looked up and saw her from afar in the red coat. Now in winter so many colours just disappear leaving a brown dull mess, and the red coat stood out so well that I had to take pictures of her!

So here is the first batch of photos from Lotherton Hall (which I will talk about properly in one of the other posts) featuring the red coat.

Also, if you want to see her blog about all things beauty then visit her at themakeuptimes.blogspot.co.uk!

Christmas Decorations 2

My second post on Christmas decorations, with my first post here Christmas Decorations.

This time these are decorations taken from around my house! I had a little more time to capture these in the daytime so the lighting is better and there are more of them. So here we go:

1. My reflection in a bauble
2. Soft toy Santa
3. little mince pies to go on the table that have a chocolate inside!
4. Star bauble
5. NOEL on the fireplace
6. Cracker decoration

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and have a fantastic 2014!

Christmas Decorations

I know it is the new year now, and that Christmas is well and truly gone, however I have taken all of these lovely photos so you will be seeing them!

These are some photos of decorations taken around the house. This first lot are some of the decorations that could be found at my girlfriend's house. They had plenty on show, but whenever I found any time to actually go and take photos round there, it was always dark and they just didn't look as good as they did in the daytime.

When looking at them properly on my computer I found that there are only two photos that could be used, which is a real shame! But here they are!

1. A birdcage filled with lights and baubles

2. A bow placed on one of the trees

Festive baking

Now that Christmas is over, I actually have time to post everything I took during the festive period!

Here are just a few pics of some cupcakes me and my girlfriend made. The polar bears and Christmas trees are hers, mine are the snowmen!

She used butter cream to make the majority of hers whilst I used royal icing and a load of food colourings to make mine. 

And yes, they tasted delicious, if not a little sickly!
