Saturday 7th July 2012 – 'Garden' (189/366)

My garden. Beyond The (splashing) Boy you will see lush, green leaves and the bushes and tress flourishing. As is the grass. Unfortunately it's at least six inches long and hasn't been cut in three weeks. The flowerbeds are full of weeds that I can't get out to to remove. His toys stand there looking forlorn begging to be played with, while raindrops glisten like diamonds before plopping onto the waterlogged lawn. And it's the 7th July.

This Summer sucks.

Sunday 1st July 2012 – 'Self-Portrait' (183/366)

Earlier in the year when I discovered and fell in love with Instagram, I started noticing people using the hashtag #photoaday. Upon investigating it, I soon realised that it was a massive project undertaken by a lovely and talented Instagram photographer by the name of FatMumSlim. She sets a daily prompt for an entire month at a time and there are tens of thousands of people taking part in it, the world over.

I have started and failed to complete the monthly challenge several times now, but as I am currently flagging with 366 ideas (I blame the, quite frankly, bloody awful weather!), I decided that following her #PhotoADayJuly prompts would be a little bit of a different tack this month.

For some of them, I'm going to have to be creative, like today's: 'Self-Portrait'. I'm not going to think outside the box, let's pretend there is no box!
