It's easy to forget how much you like doing something when you don't do it for a while.
I decided to do a bit of editing today on one of my articles on another site. It was a photographic essay of a river walk.
I wrote the article to encourage people to get out with their cameras and take photographs.
It has been a while since I have been out and about with my camera. I found much to my surprise that as I was editing the article the desire to get out with my camera was being stirred up.
The article took the form of a walk along the river banks and has some of the photos I took on the walk.
As I looked at each photograph it bought back the memories of that day. I was out on that walk for over three hours and took over 200 photographs and this article has the pick of the crop.
So it is easy to forget how much you enjoy doing something when you haven't done it in a while.
Is there something that you haven't done in a while? Maybe it is time to get out there and do it again.
A photo I took another day on the same river walk

@JudyEv It is not unusual for me to take 300 plus when out with my camera. Once you have your camera and memory cards you are no longer restrained by the cost. Even if you want to have a print of some of your photos here you can get a 100 for about 20 Euro which is cheap as chips lol...

Your photo is wonderful. I don't take as many photographs as I used to but have renewed interest and it's exciting.

@fishtiger58 There is nothing quite like that moment when you upload your photos to your computer to see what you have captured. Often it is not the ones that you were most pleased when taking that prove to be the best. You are right it is exciting :D

@maggs224 I know what you are saying. Having not the best eyes and the camera screen so small the surprise when you load on the computer is like opening a gift, you never know what you're going to get.

@fishtiger58 You are right it is like opening a gift and isn't it great that we can open our gifts as soon as we get back home instead of having to send it away to be processed :D

@jaboUK Sometimes Janet life just seems to fill up with other things, plus this year something happened to the bees. Bees are one of my favourite things to photograph and they seem to almost disappear overnight. Usually there were lots of places in Villa where I could find bees throughout the year. I am slowly beginning to see the odd one or two but nothing like as many as there used to be :)

@T_gray Not having enough time is one of my excuses but I know that if I really put my mind to it I could make time lol... If you like baking and want some inspiration try this it will reignite your baking fires :D
Bakers attempt three challenges each week trying to impress the judges enough to go through to the next round and eventually are crowned Britain's best amate...
