It's been a busy two or three months leading to a very delayed 'Best of 2017'. I almost considered leaving it until 2018 but there were so many lovely moments in the last year that I thought it was worth popping them up even if they are a little late. Thank you to all those who have appeared through the lens of the de la Mare camera this year! Weddings...Starting with a stunning Couple's shoot for Simon and Bethany in January, following their London wedding, this year's weddings have been a joy! There's a couple in here too of Tom and Hannah's stunning Graphistudio album that arrived this year. Congratulations one and all. Floral and Fauna...It's hard categorising photos - a few in here could fit into the lovely people section, just they aren't people! Getting out and about or shooting pets in the studio were some of the highlights of 2017, with another successful Pet Week in Angel Square and lots of opportunities for capturing nature. Businesses and Organisations...It's been such a pleasure to work with lots of different local businesses and organisations again this year including the beautiful work of mj cabinetmakers, a stunning fashion collection, work for the wonderful Ullswater Community College (including a little bit of Joey Essex) and Eden Boutique and a project for Hospice at Home's 20th anniversary including a visit from The Duchess of Gloucester. If you don't know about Hospice at Home, please check out their website - it's a wonderful charity. Sessions with some lovely people...Really, it's all about people. Thank you to all of these people who spent a little portion of their 2017 with me as we preserved a few memories together.

Last week I had a gorgeous weekend in the more souther Lakes - staying at Skelwith Fold and spending time around Windermere, Ambleside, the Langdales and the Tilberthwaite valley (inspired by the photographer Mark Littlejohn). It was more of a holiday then a camera trip but I definitely want to go back, especially to Tilberthwaite, with enough time to potter at my cameras pace. Also a first out for my gorgeous new camera bag - more on that another day!
Very quick post of yesterday's variety of weather! Gorgeous clouds over towards the Langdales and beyond, definitely worth getting out in the cold for. There were also some lovely spring-like touches around Grasmere and Loughrigg Tarn, especially around the Wordsworth's graves. Always pass by for a quick salute to the old Laureate but it's especially fitting when there are daffodils on his grave.
It was a little bit of a mix weekend weather-wise! Yesterday the drive to Elterwater (via Kirkstone pass due to the lack of access via the A591) started in a wintery blizzard and ended up at a bucolic Elterwater. In amongst discussions of the suitability of the use of the word bucolic (how can a word that sounds like a cross between bubonic and colic be a good thing?) there was time for some photos!
