The Alphabet Project | Q is for quiet

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter Q! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

When we visited West Wittering in Sussex last, it was 28 degrees. A stark contrast to this day when we arrived just after a torrential downpour. Aside from POD’s squeals of excitement and the sound of the waves, it was so quiet. Stretches of sand and barely a soul about. There’s something wonderful about that, we really must do it more often.

The Alphabet Project | P is for parenting

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter P! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

Letter P absolutely has to be for POD but given that’s what I’ve chosen the past two series of the Alphabet Photography Project, I’ve opted for parenting. POD turned five on Christmas Day and on one hand it’s quite hard to believe that. On the other, it’s strange to think of life before she arrived. She has such an amazing character and although parenting can be challenging at times, I wouldn’t swap it for anything.

The Alphabet Project | O is for Opal

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter O! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

We travelled up the Opal Coast in Northern France in October and came across some wonderful sights. From the military history, the beaches and the landscape to the NAUSICAA aquarium and this incredible statue near it in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Such a great contrast between the old statue and that bright blue sky.

The Alphabet Project | N is for nature

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter N! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

This letter always seems synonymous with nature, particularly macro photography which fascinates me. I love to see the small transformed into this big magical world. It’s just fabulous.

The Alphabet Project | M is for mood

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter M! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

For this week’s letter, I thought I’d share an image from one of those bright blue sky days. Taken not in the summer but just a few days ago. Although it was bitterly cold, it was beautifully sunny and I just couldn’t resist capturing it. I love days like this!

The Alphabet Project | L is for London Eye

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter L! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

There were lots of words I had in mind for letter L but London just seemed so apt given how much time I spent there. These photographs of the London Eye was taken just before the Rugby World Cup on one of my many wanders along the Southbank. It’s such a great spot, lovely and peaceful in the morning and buzzing with people in the evening.

The Alphabet Project | K is for kites

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter K! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

It seems so long ago since we were in France but it was only a few weeks ago. One of the places we visited while we were exploring the Opal Coast was Wissant. At the beach, we were greeted by hundreds upon hundreds of kites and kite surfers too. I’ve never seen anything like it before and I’m sure unlikely too again. Just fantastic.

The Alphabet Project | J is for joker

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter J! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

Given it’s POD’s 5th birthday a month today (yes that is Christmas Day!), it seemed only right she featured. She’s got such a great character but like most children her age, she’s definitely a bit of a joker too!

The Alphabet Project | I is for ice-cream

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter I! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

Although the weather is most definitely on the turn, this week I thought I’d share a photograph from late Summer. I was wandering through Covent Garden and stopped to grab an ice-cream from Morelli’s. Located in the piazza it’s one of the those places you just can’t walk past without going in!

The Alphabet Project | H is for hollow

Welcome to the Alphabet Photography Project and letter H! Thank you to everyone that joined in last week.

This photograph was taken at Hatchlands Park which is a National Trust property local to us. What we love about it most of all is the 400 acres of parkland and woodland that surround the mansion itself. POD is forever climbing trees there and attempting to launch herself off them! This one however she wanted to climb into!
