Crunch

nigel — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 22:41:04 +0000

My first post in quite a while… and something based very much on another idea I saw elsewhere… sadly I forget where. The good thing about this photo is that it taught me that I don’t actually hate Oreos after all.

Since it’s been so long, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year!

Bored

I’m getting bored of this photoblogging thing… I’m scraping the barrel of photos I’ve taken over the year for posting and I’m soon going to run out. I’ve got a lot of new ideas but very little time (or enthusiasm) for taking more shots. I’m hoping that I’ll feel inspired to take new shots over the short Christmas break.

As always thanks to all of you who always comment, like and visit without fail, your support is much appreciated as are the awesome posts on your own blogs!

Nyhavn

This is Nyhavn in Copenhagen. If you love drinking, you’ll like it, if not you’ll get bored pretty quickly.

Butterfly

It’s an over-saturated butterfly… The End

Juicer

It’s been good having a week off work, although I extended that to a week off from running and a week off from posting… (mainly because when I remembered, I couldn’t be bothered)

Here’s a macro shot of a lemon juicer…

Isle of Wight – Lavender

If you’ve never been to the Isle of Wight and are ever nearby (i.e. in Southern England), give it a visit. A weekend is more than enough time to see it, and of course, go in Summer! Within a 30 minute period, one can drive across the island… Aside from the beautiful beaches I highly recommend a visit The Garlic Farm, and to the Lavender Farm.

Have a great week

Cycles in Copenhagen

I recently visited Copenhagen and three things really stood out for me.

1) People there like to cycle

2) People there love to smoke (strange considering the cycling, I felt)

3) People there love hot dogs

So, I’ve been engaging in improving my health lately… cutting down on the bad stuff, increasing the good stuff and doing my best to exercise more. A friend pointed me towards fitocracy.com – If you exercise but need motiviation, give it a go. You get points for exercising, and motivation from other people. With a variety of groups to join you can get targeted motivation, and, it’s free. If you do join, I’m on there as greysqrl – feel free to add me. Yesterday afternoon I did a 5k run… awesome. Yesterday evening I made a home made hot fudge desert… – balance restored…

Toothbrush

I’ll be honest here… I DO judge books by their covers, if the cover looks good, I’ll pick it up, have a flick through, read the blurb and that’ll be the decider on whether I’ll read it or not. Same with toothbrushes – I buy ones that look good to me… I wonder if anyone else does…

Somewhat flat oranges… but, they tasted good.

One of the greatest things about food/drink photography is eating the model…

So, I know, this isn’t the greatest photo in the world and didn’t exactly turn out as I wanted to… but, hey, I got 4th place in the refreshing comp with this, 2nd with the lemonade collage and 1st with the previous ice and a slice 7up free post so.. what the heck, thought I’d post it anyway…

For anyone else that is trying to quit high sugar drinks but misses the fizz… here’s a recommendation, sparking water (the cheap stuff from your supermarket is fine) and a little bit of squash… works a treat.
