Today’s photo rather neatly reflects my day today – I’ve spent all of the daylight hours either travelling in my car or working indoors. I found this padlock on a shipping container which sits in the car park of the village hall I visited in Reading this afternoon so I grabbed a couple of frames in the few minutes I had free before my rehearsal. I’ve done a bit of work in Lightroom to really bring out the texture in the green paint.

I love this Helen. You have a way of making the ordinary look so amazing! McMommy · 2011-02-06: 16:30
