Sunday Adventure 24.04.11

Today we went to the woods. Matt was feeling a bit rough so we didn't want to venture too far from the house but luckily we discovered Rocks East Woodland on the internet. When we arrived there were a lot of tents and vans in the car park and as we opened the door to their office we were greeted by various stuffed animals from the British countryside. I was worried that because it was Easter Sunday the place would be full of people but as we headed into the woods we were completely alone. This meant we could walk slowly and stop and take photos whenever we wanted. Because of this I decided to take some photos with the self timer whilst resting my camera on our bag. One of our experiments resulted in the photo I posted earlier of us kissing but we took a few more....

 Here's another one...

And of course I need to show you a cheesy photo of the two of us (not that the last two photos weren't cheesy enough). This photo went kind of wrong because we ended up looking in opposite directions but for some reason I love it...

 So there we have it...another Sunday finished and another week of working starting tomorrow. At least I have my Sunday memories to get me through...

This photo gives me butterflies....full on fluttery butterflies in my tummy. It was one of those spur of the moment self timer photos but I'm so happy with how it turned out....so happy that I had to share

One Day...

One day we'll take our children to this park and I'll tell them that this is where we fell in love. This is where we sat in the sunshine, taking goofy photos of each other whilst drinking cider. This is where we led hand in hand discussing our dreams and hopes for the future...for our future. We walked through this park on our very first Christmas day together whilst it was covered in snow and it felt like we were in another world. But most of all this is where we took photos and fell in love...

I love taking photos. At all times I carry a little point and shoot Lumix in my bag. If I'm going out for the day I always remember to take my Olympus PEN with me. I can take about 200 photos on one of our Sunday adventures. I know I'm not the best of photographers but I just love taking them. I'm a hoarder of photos, of memories. I try to capture those happy faces, those thoughtful moments and those small snippets of life that I want to keep close to me always. It's never just the pictures themselves but the memories surrounding them. So this photo of a peacock becomes a memory of walking in the Spring sunshine with Matt's family, sitting around a big table to eat and lots of laughter and chatter. I think that's why I'll always continue lugging two cameras around with me and shoving them in my unsuspecting friend's faces. I am Amy and I am a hoarder of memories....

Welcome to me....

So this is me. I know who I am but you do not and future Amy may well get a kick out of reading this. Or hang her head in shame. At this moment I'm 23, living with Matt who I've been with for about 18 months. We're living in Bath in our little one bedroom flat and going out for adventures as often as we can. We have some pretty exciting things on the horizon that I have my fingers crossed for. I have a slight addiction to spilling my guts out on the internet and I have a Tumblr that I've been using for a while but I wanted somewhere to write just for me. The problem is that I'm also quite fickle so I don't know how long this will last. My current obsession is taking photographs and although I don't claim to be an amazing photographer (far from it actually) it's something I really enjoy doing. I think that that's me right now....
