Keep it simple ...

I like to keep it simple … both in my photography and in my scrapping. I am drawn to the graphic look, clean, fresh, uncluttered. Photos that call to me, and don’t need to be decorated to be compelling.
I love this quote I found in Ali Edwards’ ‘A Designer’s Eye’ … this is what she says about developing a sense of style …
One of the things I love most about scrapbooking is that it’s a direct reflection of me. Through my pages I can add a bit of myself, my personality, my style, to the record of my life and the lives of my family… Adding your own personality, and truly embracing your own style, is at the heart of creating scrapbook pages that best communicate your vision. (pg. 149) Great quote, huh?

More wildlife ...

Dad and I sat under a bush with our cameras as the goslings and parents came past. They were moving flat out, and although the parents kept a beady eye on us, didn’t seem too concerned, so long as we didn’t move. When they had gone past, I got up and tried to get closer, but they weren’t having a bar of that. It was amazing the turn of speed they could put on when they wanted to. So cute, the little goslings, but they won’t stay that small for very long. I was a bit worried because they were moving towards the snake, and he probably would have enjoyed a fluffy little gosling for afternoon tea!
I have a lot of respect for wildlife photographers … why won’t the wildlife sit still for me? Below is one of the wild animals in my family that I bribed to sit still while his mother took his photo.
