Time For Some Ruti Portraits

Yet again, one of my favorite models and I had a photoshoot, hehe

Ruti happened to be lounging on the counter in the sun and so i ran to get my camera, of course. She was just rolling around, enjoying the counter top sun longer position, as she does, and i really wanted to try to capture that care-free look in her furry face, but i don't think i managed that exactly. I guess it was one of those "you just had to be there" moments......and at the risk of becoming a crazy cat lady i'll shut up now.

Bubble Bath Self Portraits

I guess when you title something "Bubble Bath Self-portraits" you risk the assumption of it being slightly risque in the content, but really it's totally rated G as you can see. I just decided to risk water damage to my camera all in the name of capturing a self-portrait or two that i had envisioned each & every time I'd taken a bath in the last few months. It's funny really, each time i took a bubble bath i kept imagining which angle i'd snap from and how close up i'd make the shot and how it may or may not turn out...... so i decided to take the risk and bring my camera into the bathroom with me the other day finally. Yay! No damp cameras and a few good shots(in my humble opinion) which i've tweaked a bit and voila..... here they be!

And now if the grocery delivery dude would just arrive, life would be complete......or at least I'd be well fed, hehe

Walking at Midnight Rain or Shine!!

On July 4th at midnight, rain or shine, I will be partaking in the St Oswald's Hospice Midnight 10k Walk! I'm so excited and looking forward to this unique event. It'll be a nice change to have the scorching sun already down(we should be so lucky to actually have bright sun in England, ha!) and be walking around the streets with the other participants in the middle of the night.

I've been training with Amanda(my fellow midnight-walker) on the weekends for a good few weeks now. We go for long walks along the coast or quayside(and chat about movies while we walk!) and we are both feeling pretty ready for the big event. We've been doing between 6k-13k each weekend and have gotten pretty good at it (put one foot in front of the other & be sure to bring snacks!).

We may not have a big cheering section on the night(everyone we know will be asleep?!) but we will just make up for it with attitude and have huge grins on our faces I'm sure!
