Photo Blogging Challenge: Two





I am taking part in a Photo Blogging Challenge created by PJ at A'lil Hoohaa. As the Photo Blogging Challenge turns two in March, the theme this time is Two.

 Swans...  

Tristan and I live next to a canal and we are totally aware of who lives there. Every morning I hear goose 'honks' and duck 'quacks' before going to work. They are so noisy! Swans are quiet and most of the time just peacefully swim around. 


...and the intruder. 

 If there's another waterbird coming close they softly hiss or make weird snoring sounds. Clearly this doesn't help, so the chasing starts. I've never seen swans doing this before so it was actually quite funny to watch.


Dinner for two.

This is a lamb curry with rice and naan bread. Milk is amazing with spicy food, it helps to relieve the burning feeling.


Rainbows

 Tristan spins fire with others in Manchester and invited me along. These girls stood out with their colourful LED hula hoops. I got some pretty good shots and I can't wait to go again!



It was a challenging month - I was struggling to get my five pictures. Number '2' really didn't show up much for me this month. Hopefully the next one will be easier!

    I think you did pretty well! I love the hula shots - I've never seen that before and you captured those perfectly. I do love the two swans though! Great!

    Neat pictures! The first one is my favorite, but I'm not exactly sure why. It has a lot of cool elements like the reflections, the contrast of the dark water and white swans, and the different angles going on. Nice composition!

    And those LED hula hoops pics are cool. They kinda look like psychedelic snail shells! :D

    I think you did very well with the theme, so don't sell yourself short here. Food photos are always interesting when done well which yours was.

    I am interested in knowing what naan bread is?

      Thanks, Paul! Naan bread is like a flatbread - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naan :) It's good with curry!

    I love reading all the different interpretations of the prompts each month. Love the "dinner for two" and wish I'd thought of it!! Those hula hoops are amazing! And who doesn't love swans?! :-)

    I'm a fan of any lightpainting, long exposure attempts. You did great with the hula hoops.

Glossybox - Iconic Hollywood Edition

This month Glossybox takes us a step back in time and worships Hollywood beauty royalty. There are four collector's edition boxes with different coloured bottoms and a Marilyn Monroe print on the cover. My box is a mint green and looking very pretty - definitely worth keeping. The box contains 5 beauty products - 3 of them full size. The products are inspired by the silver screen stars whose elegant and timeless beauty is still as relevant as it was then. The Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil and POP Beauty Kajal Eyelines Pen are both essential to achieve a time-honoured look - a red lip and feline flick. Eyes and lips are the windows to the soul - when I am doing my make up, I like to concentrate on them the most. I am glad Glossybox chose these classic staples for this month. Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss is the perfect Marilyn red. It's in pencil form which makes the application really easy and because it has the matte finish, it can be glosse

4 Days in Rome / Day 2 More sightseeing and tours

We planned for Monday to be our main sightseeing day. The morning was started with breakfast at our hotel before we left at 10am. A bus to the city centre took us just 10 minutes - €1.20 for one way ticket. Our first stop was at Piazza Venezia, a major circus and known as the central hub of Rome. The majority of Rome's popular tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and are within walking distance. The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) caught my eye and we decided to see it up close. This monument was built in 1925 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel, making it quite a new attraction compared to the rest of the Rome and its architecture.   From the top of the building you can see a 360 degree view of Rome. A ticket to the top costs €7 but you can stay on the roof as long as you like!    Our next stop was Santa Maria in Aracoeli , another beautiful Catholic church with a monumental staircase. While you can see the Col

Jewellery box

It is time to take a look inside my jewellery box! I don't wear many accessories during the winter. Why? Maybe because I am all wrapped up and it can be so annoying when earrings, necklaces, bracelets and so on get caught on the extra clothes. But now that spring has arrived, it is time to take all of my accessories out and start wearing them!     I had actually forgotten how much I had in this box - it was such a surprise. It felt like I had just bought them again! I found loads of hair clips and hairbands, which were all ordered from eBay. I don't think I have paid over £5 for any one of them (postage and packing included). They came from China and like everybody knows, it takes about a month for them to arrive!   This peacock hair clip is my favourite. I have worn it a couple of times and I can't really complain about the quality. It actually looks like it is worth a bit more than the £2 I paid.     I love these two hair clips. Th
