3/365 and #1 in my 100 x challenge - monochrome
The photo in the background is of my son and his wife on their wedding day, they gave us this framed photo for Christmas. They are standing in front of their wedding car, a VW camper van called Daphne!
The star was a Christmas present from my husband, he knew I had been looking for a wooden star so it was a lovely surprise to open this on Christmas day. It is bound to feature in more of my 365 pics. The suitcase I picked up at a vintage shop a while ago and the background is some of our left over floorboards, painted...nothing gets wasted in this house.

49/52: Project 52 - Two of a kind
#2 in my 100 times challenge - Monochrome
Lots of options for the two of a kind theme but when I saw these two pictures in the Ladies toilet in a tearoom in Cambridge, I decided to use them along with a photo of the hydrangeas that were also there. I've blended the images for a little interest and desaturated it so it would suit my 100 x challenge too.

Macro Mondays - Double exposure
#3 in my 100 x challenge - monochrome
Double exposure of poinsettia, done in camera. I don't do very well with poinsettias, this one started losing its leaves as soon as I got it home. HMM
Flickr is playing up and frustratingly not posting most of my comments today...will try again later.

50/52: Project 52 - Follow the path
#5 in my 100 x challenge - Monochrome
It's such a dull drizzly day today but I thought I would get out to try to get a pathway shot. I had the village church in mind but didn't like the shots I got so walked around the village and came across this lovely cottage, I've actually photographed the gate before. I took a very quick shot as I am a bit nervous of photographing houses ever since a woman came running after me asking why I was taking a photo of her house.
I decided on back and white not solely because my 100 x theme this year is monochrome but also because the weather was so overcast I felt it looked better in b/w. I loved the look of the cottage with it's pretty path and gate, as well as the planters either side of the door and along the path. I decided a border completed the look of an old b/w photo.
