#52weeksofschoolrun

For years I've had the notion of taking a weekly photo of an everyday view in my life and watching how it changes over the course of a year and finally I've actually made the notion a reality. 

I realised a couple of months ago that part of our walk to school everyday has become quite a regular photo opportunity.  The light is particularly beautiful when it's low on winter mornings and #52weeksofschoolrun was born on Instagram



I can't wait to see how this view changes and grows of the course of a year. 
It's amazing already looking at how the trees have burst into leaf over the last few weeks.

I've realised that unless I'm taking pictures of the boys or product photos I don't really use my camera......and when I thought about it, I realised that I REALLY miss taking photos "just because".  Because something is pretty, or amazing or even just ordinary!

So I took my camera with me when I went to collect Johnny from nursery, and "just took some photos!"

 
En-route to the nursey, my favourite view in the village.  The White Church and the river from the church.
 

 

 
On our way home, Archie the Shetland pony.  His field is next to the road and we stop and have a chat with him every day.....sometimes he even gets a polo mint.....if there are any left!!
 
 
Just about home, The Ross bridge.  That's our garden you can see underneath the bridge and our house is on the right!
 
 
In the garden, Cock-a-doodle-doooo. What a handsome chap.....with no name.....just "The Cockerel"!
 
 
.......and some of the girls.  Maude, Beatie and Gertie the Indian Runner Ducks and Madge and Betty the hens.
