| | As a photographer, foremost, the sun is just the best 😎Now, when I say it’s the best, it’s actually not the case when I’m doing landscapes or moody scenes, but it is for commercial photography; it’s amazing as everything looks great with sunshine on it. Imagine having the front of your building photographed on a rainy day: it doesn’t exactly encourage people to come and visit you, but a beautiful sunny day with trees and flowers in bloom does. So, if you will take anything away from that, get your outside photos done or at least planned NOW!
When the weather wasn't so nice, for the first few days of this month, I finished building a couple of Lego sets (below), The Office and Seinfeld. Both of these are going to be merged into one big studio edition (when I get some spare time, which might have to be in the Winter now 😳) | | | |

| | | | This month's Landscape‘Poppies, Poppies Poppies' The magnificent brightness and contrast of the Blackstone poppies in Bewdley bring the promise that summer is well and truly on its way.
