Holkham, Norfolk - New Year Photography

I know I am a bit late on the 'Happy New Year' band wagon - but better late than never!  Jamie and I went up to the Norfolk coast on new years day with our three dogs.  It was the most beautiful sunny day and I managed to grab some lovely snaps with my i phone.  I haven't done a photography post for a while now - mainly due to weeks of grey and rain limiting the opportunity to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors!

Spring at Home

Again another very wet week here and I have hardly been able to get outside!  Here I look back at some pictures from spring time when the weather was much nicer!

Another menacing sky!

Sunshine at Sea

Last weekend we took our little boat out to the River Orwell just near Ipswich on the East Coast.  It was the first weekend we had seen the sunshine for weeks and weeks so it was real treat to get outside and enjoy it!  Here our a few of my favourite snaps I got from our day out!

I thought this boat looked really beautiful with the wood almost looking Orange and standing out so beautifully against the lovely blue sky that we hadn't seen in so long.

On our way out to sea from the River Orwell we passed the huge and busy port of Felixstowe where there were lots of shipping containers coming in.  I thought the red of this one with all its colourful containers looks so nice.

Just a lovely Buoy we passed that stood out on the murky Estuary waters and against the golden wheat fields of the land behind.

Here I just loved the reflection of this boat on the sea and the strip of yellow sandy beach in the background.  It really was such a treat to see the sun out!

Here just for fun our little Jack Russell - Captain Tilly taking charge at the front of the boat .... very cute!

Budapest in Spring

Here are a few snaps from a trip to Budapest, Hungary that I shot back in March.  Still wet and rainy here but I'm told we are supposed to see some sun soon....I'll be waiting!

A little stroll into town passing the tram.

The government buildings.

A street after a heavy downpour with the sun reflecting off the road.

Some lovely trees!

The veg market - lovely cololurs.

Costal Trip

We have had another grey washed out week here!  I know what people say about England being rainy but this is super bad for a British Summertime!  I literally have not been able to go out once this week to truly enjoy the outdoors because of the bad weather.  Anyway, to try to give myself a lift I sifter through some pictures from early spring this year when my boyfriend and I and one of our dogs took a day trip to the coast on a wonderfully sunny day.  We decided to go to Maldon on the Essex coast and work our way up to Mersey Island a little further north.  The sun was warm and the beautiful colours of early spring made us truly optimistic for the seasons lying ahead after the long cold winter!
