{top 5} talking about love …

Kellie — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:22:14 +0000

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, and my wedding anniversary also this month, I’m feeling a little sappy today so I’ve pulled together some quotes on love.

But not only that, each of these little images is available for download. Just click on the image or head over to the 74 Lime Lane Google+ page.

You can see the album here

{seeds} follow ferris’ advice

And it helps if you hear it in your head in his voice.

Reminded by this. Classic.

And now I have a pressing need to watch the movie.

{snapshot} clouds and circles

Kellie — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:22:32 +0000

I love taking photos of the sky. The ever-changing landscape of colours and shapes always provide a brilliant photographic subject.

And summer skies, building storms, vibrant sunrises and sunsets, are perfect photo fodder.

This would not come as a surprise to those who follow me on instagram.

And I’m not the only one. Kelly DeLay has been documenting the clouds for three years at his Clouds 365 project ~ 949 days of cloud photos.

I’m also still loving the circles.

There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds

{photo pulp} d is for …

Kellie — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:02:23 +0000

It was Hubby who came up with the idea for homemade pizzas for dinner. How perfect ~ dough for my ‘D’.

Scene is the supermarket. Discussions centre around dinner.

Hubby: How about homemade pizza? We haven’t had that in a while.

Small: I love homemade pizza.

Hubby: Shall we do crispy bases or make our own?

Me: Make your own. It can be my d for dough.

Hubby: Well that’s sorted then. Homemade it is.

I’m lucky in that I have a husband who supports my photography endeavours with a willing and able hand, and who can make pizza dough.

Today, this challenge is easier than I thought, and allowing more variety than I thought. You can repeat that back to me when I’m cursing somewhere around J and K.

I also made sure today I had all the letters. Although you might say a little late for that. But nevermind. Success.

{photo pulp} c is for …

Kellie — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:10:37 +0000

We stocked up at the farmers market this morning, bringing home a trolley filled with fresh goodness, including half a dozen cobs of corn.

Hubby ended up throwing some on the barbecue for lunch, soaked and then cooked in their husks.

Butter, salt and pepper and that was lunch.

The ‘c’ is actually cut out of butter. Hubby did that, too.

It looks like my Souvenir Foto School alphabet series will be about food after all. What starts with X?

Hello weekend! So lovely to have you around these parts. It’s been a busy week so I’m so happy to see you again. I think we should keep things relaxed while you’re here ~ a trip to the farmers markets, perhaps try a new cafe, a spot of shopping and maybe a swim.

{photo pulp} b is for …

Kellie — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:19:54 +0000

As you can see, I’m going to be following the alphabet. The idea of randomly picking letters, well it gives me the shakes.

I was quite excited this morning when the idea of ‘B’ came to me. Although my intent with the series was not going to be around food, I have a funny feeling it might end up that way. I might have to roll with it. And hey, as a bonus it might help with menu planning.

I also didn’t want every photo to be a letter dusted in something.

Day two in the Souvenir Foto School, so far so good.

{a} afternoon coffee

I did warn you about a possible slide show. Well here we go …

This is my first submission for Souvenir Foto School’s Alphabet challenge. Besides working around the alphabet, there is a lot of scope for what you wanted to do.

My last one was hodge podge ~ items starting with the letter x, y and z. This time, I wanted cohesion, a set, a theme.

But I couldn’t decide on anything.

So naturally I roped in Hubby who obligingly sent me through a list of random thoughts. And out of that, and my own thoughts, this is a very loose start.

Letters.

All I know is I wanted letters in it. I was thinking scrabble letters but, hmmm, cliche? Hubby suggested coffee and cocoa, I thought cookie cutter alphabet.

This idea will evolve. Afternoon coffee was not my original launching pad ~ as I hardly drink afternoon coffee, except for today after little sleep and a glass of wine with lunch.

After this first photo, I’m also thinking simple colours ~ a monochrome feel to each photo.

And because I have barely thought past today, it is also a challenge.
