Fresh Start

Happy New Year!  I went to a fireworks display on the coast and I could hardly move because there were so many people! I set my camera to sports mode and the longer exposure meant I captured some really quirky photographs.  I'm thinking of submitting the last one to a competition the town is holding :)

This morning lots of people were tweeting about a gorgeous sunrise but it was pretty bleak here (as usual).  My resolutions this year are to be more creative, be healthier and to start saving up for a classic mini!  It's my dream car and I'd like to get one sooner rather than later.  I love my current car but he's starting to show his age :'(

I'm also going to make a memory jar as I'm useless at consistently writing in diaries.  I think it's a cheap and fun alternative to keeping a journal, plus I feel it's better to focus on documenting happy moments and not the sad ones.  Do you have any resolutions?

      Thankyou! I've always wanted a classic mini and I figured that now I have a Summer job I can finally save up for one!

      I'm still trying to build the confidence to submit the photo D: I remember seeing loads of professional photographers that night and I don't know how my one will compare to theirs. I guess there's no harm in trying though :)

    Happy New Year! Your photos are beautiful, I especially love the bottom one :)
    I think I'm going to start a memory jar too, it's such a cute idea and much easier to keep than a journal :)
    I hope you have a lovely weekend :) xxx

      Thanks for commenting! I was trying to get a sense of a 'new beginning' in my last photo. It might be 2013 now but it's still Winter here. The trees are bare but Spring is on its way :) I'm glad you like it!
