Day 147: Sunshine after Rain Originally uploaded by phillsacre It was raining heavily yesterday, but today it was beautiful outside. Everything looked really green and lush. I think this was my favourite photo I took today.

Day 146: Tree Seeds Originally uploaded by phillsacre I’ve actually got no idea what these are, but I thought they looked nice, so I took a picture! I thought a macro shot might fit well with the Daily Shoot theme as well: “Make a photograph with a soft look today.” The way the background melts…

Day 145: Bourne Mill Originally uploaded by phillsacre I went out to Bourne Mill today to take a few photos – it was a beautiful day. On my way there, the entire sky clouded over. Typical. So, here’s a picture of Bourne Mill anyway, not as nice as it would have been with a blue…

Day 138: Frosty Fordham Field Originally uploaded by phillsacre View from near the church, taken before the service this morning. Apologies for the alliterative title. The sky was cloudless this morning, I love the contrast between the whitey-green of the field and the blue of the sky.
