August Break #15
Waiting for Strokkur the geyser to erupt, Iceland. I decided taking photos of the people waiting to take photos of the geyser erupting, was more entertaining than trying and failing to get a good shot of the geyser itself! (taken on Canon EOS 400D in February 2010).

Hometime... walking home from Ben and Jerry's Sundae in the Park, Heaton Park... all full of free ice cream (shot on Fujifilm FinePix F100fd)

August Break #12
A big Salford love-in on Twitter today (#ilovesalford) inspired me to post this picure of one of Salford's many hidden gems. This is St. Ignatius Church in Ordsall, as discovered on a recent bike ride. It's currently all locked up - such a waste of a beautiful building, but there is now a campaign to bring it back into use. Read more here on BBC News

August Break #12
Spectacular homecoming finale when the Manics played Cardiff International Arena in May (although as an ecowarrior, I cannot condone the gratuitous spewing out of bits of paper). Taken on my Finepix.

August Break #10
I've held off the gig photos long enough! And it seems fitting that Bright Eyes should be first, seeing as they are the inspiration for my blog title, and probably behind the blog itself... Taken on Fujifilm FinePix F100fd at Birmingham HMV Institute, July 2011.

August Break #8
Keeping with the 'birds in flight' theme, here's another one from my hols in St Ives last week. Again taken with my Canon EOS 400D. PS Just got my Meg Limited Edition Diana camera in the post - v excited!! Hopefully it'll cause my less traumas than my temperamental little Diana Mini.

August Break #7
Car Park Bird - There was a lot of squawking coming from up there - think the car park sign (St Ives, Cornwall) made a handy nest! Taken last week on my jolly-days in St Ives, Cornwall with my Canon EOS 400D.

Pink flowers, blue door... taken in one of the Biodomes at Eden Project, Cornwall last summer with my Canon EOS 400D.
August Break #4
The heady smell of Love Hearts was in the air, but not a sweet in sight... (another Diana Mini shot taken on a day out in New Mills, High Peak in Spring 2011)

Flypost? Graffiti? Well, it made me smile on my walk to work... (trying out the camera on my Blackberry!)

August Break #1
A suitably summary picture of Fistral Beach in Cornwall, taken last summer with my Diana Mini... looking forward to being back in that part of the world soon.
I need a break...
Even though I am such a newbie blogger, I have hardly earned a 'break', this seemed too perfect not to do... I'm a sucker for a daily challenge! So the plan is that I will be posting a photo a day during the month of August - first photo will be on here later. Click the lovely, sparkly link below to find out what it's all about!
