Hey Siri. Ding. What time is it? It’s 6:15am. Way too early. (She’s hilarious). My alarm is set for 6:35am but I decide to get up anyway. I hear Gidget stretching and I ask her how she is. She stretches again, shakes herself as dogs do, and pounces on the spot right by my head,…

A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…
Read MoreI had grand plans of finding cool things to photograph beneath my feet for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge but time is slipping away as I’m travelling a lot at the moment.

Read MoreMy friend invited us to watch her Spotlight Dance at the Dance Studio where she studies ballroom. I took my camera along (of course!) and tried my hand at shooting fast-moving subjects in very low light and with a flash. I used the flash that came with my camera – a hot shoe popup. It…
