Back Through the Lens - Week 48

 

Welcome back to my new series 'Back Through the Lens'. Click here to see week 1 and read all about what is going on. The short explanation is that 2020 is my 8th year of documenting my life through photos and so I'm looking back at this exact week over the past 7 years to compare them! This is week 48. 

2013 - 13th December 
Seeing Frozen for the first time, back when I used to go to the cinema once a month or so.

2014 - Week 48
Probably one of the very last times I had a Christmas tree up.
It seemed hypocritical to celebrate a holiday from a religion I am not a part of!

2015 - 26th November 
Another beautiful sunrise over the River Tweed!
More so than ever recently, I've been missing my home town.

2016 - 29th November 
How I miss Disneyland!
Even in the winter when my toes were blocks of ice and the sun set earlier.

2017 - 2nd December

Just another pretty sky from my bedroom window, overlooking the Royal Border Bridge.

2018 -  End of Series
This was a crazy year for me and sadly I gave up taking daily photos 5 days into June. It was an eventful year and I really regret not carrying it on.

2019 - 2nd December 

A Goshawk decided to take his dinner from our garden.
Sadly it wasn't the food that we put out for the birds, but one of those who came by to eat.
It's always sad to see stuff like this, but also very interesting from a nature-loving point
of view. It is the circle of life after all. 

2020 Project 366 // Days 323 - 329

 

18th November 2020
I've had these stones from the beach for months and months so finally decided to sit down and paint some.
 Looking forward to finishing them all and eventually being able to hide them in the woods (in probably 5 years time).
A couple will get painted over once I'm all done because they didn't turn out as expected.

19th November 2020
4pm sunsets mean I can actually see them before I go to sleep!

20th November 2020
Thank goodness for the RAC. What a morning/day/year.

21st November 2020
Soup making.

22nd November 2020
Firey sunrise.

23rd November 2020
Finally saying goodbye to the green bathroom.
The people who lived here previously had insane taste in interiors.

24th November 2020
I'm pretty sure this is one of the first times I've ever seen Sparrows in my garden since living here.
It's shocking considering they're such a common bird.
I never care how common or rare a bird is, I get the same amount of enjoyment
out of watching them have fun.

Back Through the Lens - Week 47

Welcome back to my new series 'Back Through the Lens'. Click here to see week 1 and read all about what is going on. The short explanation is that 2020 is my 8th year of documenting my life through photos and so I'm looking back at this exact week over the past 7 years to compare them! This is week 47. 

2013 - 6th December
Baker having a sneaky peek at his brother Bunny. Bunny had his own bedroom and would come out to play around the whole house multiple times a day, but Baker was scared of him and would only come near if his bedroom door was closed!

2014 - Week 47
Can't ever go wrong with a photo of a Robin.

2015 - 20th November
It's homemade soup time of year.

2016 - 20th November
I hope we don't get this type of weather any time soon...or at all if possible!

2017 - 22nd November 
I miss riverside walks with no one around but the birds!

2018 - End of Series
This was a crazy year for me and sadly I gave up taking daily photos 5 days into June.
It was an eventful year and I really regret not carrying it on.

2019 - 19th November 
Saying goodbye to my beautiful Nana.

2020 Project 366 // Days 316 - 322

 

11th November 2020
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
Please remember the animals who had no choice that they went to war.

Over 16 million animals served in the First World War alone.
My purple poppy is in honour of those horses, donkeys, mules,
camels, dogs, cats, pigeons, canaries, bears, monkeys, lions
and more who died while being used for work, as pets, mascots etc
during those extremely scary, dangerous times.

12th November 2020
We need better bath bomb storage to shield them from humidity.

13th November 2020
I'm trying my hardest to have diversity in my photos for the 8th year of Project 365 (366) but some days are just impossible when every day is the same.
I get as much nature and wildlife in as possible but my choices are limited unless it's in my garden or from the car outside Mr H's work.
It's the only thing I miss and makes me jealous every single day of people who can go for walks.
 Instead today I lay on my living room floor staring at the ceiling and enjoyed the pattern our Edison style bulb made when shining through the 1950s glass shade (original to the house).

14th November 2020
Mr H's usual day off got changed at the last minute, so this was my Saturday view this week.

15th November 2020
Rain, rain, rain.

16th November 2020
The Hallow Princesses 🏰

17th November 2020
If only everyone thought of creatures how our fellow and favourite Hufflepuff does...💛🖤

Back Through the Lens - Week 46

Welcome back to my new series 'Back Through the Lens'. Click here to see week 1 and read all about what is going on. The short explanation is that 2020 is my 8th year of documenting my life through photos and so I'm looking back at this exact week over the past 7 years to compare them! This is week 46.

2013 - 30th November 
My charity calendar for 2014.

2014 - Week 46
Edinburgh Castle as seen from the top of Camera Obscura.

2015 - 14th November 
The Royal Border Bridge, lit up in solidarity with Paris after the horrible terror attacks. 

2016 - 16th November
My pals Tilly and Brook.

2017 - 12th November 
Our small town didn't have a proper cinema. But it occasionally got semi-new movies, so Mam and I went to see Murder on the Orient Express!

2018 - End of Series 
This was a crazy year for me and sadly I gave up taking daily photos 5 days into June. 
It was an eventful year and I really regret not carrying it on.

2019 - 18th November 
A frosty walk around Berwick walls.

2020 Project 366 // Days 309 - 315

 

4th November 2020
The very last of Baker's Halloween balloons granny sent him is now gone...
He only has 2 of our usual biodegradable ones left too, uh oh!

5th November 2020
This guy looked so calm enjoying the sunset.
It makes me sad to think of how scared him, all the other wildlife, livestock, pets, elderly people, those with PTSD
and more were tonight when selfish, irresponsible humans played with explosives.
It makes me wonder if those 'celebrating' this day actually know the history behind it?
Surely the majority of the general public, who seem to hate our government, would have been in support of Guy Fawkes...
It's weird to me that they burn an effigy of him and celebrate the failed attempt to bring down the establishment?
I guess it's just like Christmas and no one actually knows why they are 'celebrating'
and just do it in sheep-like fashion.

6th November 2020
A foggy morning.

7th November 2020
The stages of pet photo taking. 
Show carrot, give carrot, carrot gone.
Love our little Argo, he has such a personality but he is a beggar to get photos of!

8th November 2020
It's the sad time of year where all the trees are bare.
I didn't even get the opportunity to photograph much of the autumnalness
and it's disappeared way sooner than last year.

9th November 2020
Beautiful little Dunnock foraging for his dinner yesterday.
So thankful I can still enjoy watching the birds even if it has to be
behind the windows of my car or house.

10th November 2020
I may not sell my wildlife photography calendars anymore,
but I still put together a personalised one for both my parents and us.
Can you remember my calendars?
I miss doing them but everywhere put their printing costs up and even when buying in bulk
I'd have to sell them at £15(!!) to make a profit. Boo.
