Tealight

If there is one thing i like photographing more than clouds, its natural light.  Before i started this little blog space, i didn't know how important natural light was in photographs.  It is certainly one of the most magical things - when it's just right, in just the right place - it can be so beautiful.  The light alters a picture so very magically.  I sometimes can't resist snapping the sunrise en route to work, or stopping somewhere just because the light peeping through a certain spot is so beautiful, no matter how many odd looks i get. 

Today i also discovered flowering tea, thanks to a very lovely birthday present.  It is the most magical thing!! I stood and watched for a good ten minutes and almost forgot that at the end i could actually drink it!!

It has been a tea and light sort of Tuesday afterall.

The rest of my day was lying bundled up in soft blankets; freshly washed and reading and tearing bits and pieces from new magazines.  It used to feel a bit like magazine murder, now it just makes sense. I almost bought a Liberty of London sewing book today.  Flicking through it the pictures were so beautiful that i just wanted to rip them all out and stick them down.  There's a reason i don't own many books….
