New Camera!

Went for a walk with my new camera today and it was a JOY!! Here's a few of my snaps...

These flowers were growing in a huge area of just mud - not even one tiny little bit of grass! Nothing like seeing something bloom in a situation of adversity! Cheesy but true!

Botanical Gardens in Victoria Park - beautiful and peaceful!
It's a good thing Bath has a ready made sight to try out the new camera's panoramic settings!
Mmmmmm Macro settings to die for!


Beautiful Bath! Did feel a lot like a tourist roaming around taking photos of the Bath sights but it was a lot of fun :)

Then I went to an amazing art exhibition put on by the wonderful students from Freedom Art's College. All these artists are soooo talented and the art was real food for my spirit!

Artist: Amy Samuel - these paintings were like heaven to me! The use of colour just turned me to happy mush (that's a good thing btw lol!). If I had a spare few hundred £'s the blue one would be mine!



Artist: Sarah Cooper - I love the freedom expressed in this, simple yet effective. What a talented friend I have!



Artist: Zoe Grieves - lush textiles!


Well, that's that then. I think I can safely say my camera is proving itself big time. I've had a lovely day so far because of all my creative exploring :D 
Off to do some songwriting now - YAY!

It's Time For Change And I'm Excited!



Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the earth is ready
I know its time for heaven's rain
It's gonna rain

Cos it's living water we desire
To flood our hearts with holy fire

Rain down all around the world we're singing
Rain down can you here the earth is singing
Rain down my heart is dry but still I'm singing
Rain down rain it down on me.

Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time, to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes I'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands

Do not shut, Do not shut, Do not shut the heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts

Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my heart upon your altar
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet don’t let me falter

In the past change has unnerved me in the way it does with most of us, I definitely have never seen it as a bad thing but its not very comfortable is it!? 
Right now my life and my world seems set for some change and to be honest I am excited, I can't wait to see the finished article (though I'm sure this will take a lifetime). I'm just going to take things one day at a time and trust that it's all in his hands!

So....much....amazing.....colour!


This photo has just brightened my day and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling! Ignore the dog and random carpet and just look at the books!!! *drool* !!! Oooh it is very lovely and makes me want to get organised and creative the same time :D
(I can't remember where I found this picture so if you find it on here and it is yours I'm really sorry and thank you because it is truly beautiful and brings me joy!)
