It's a blur

It's been a week of birthday treats for Amelie including a visit to the Sealife Centre in Birmingham. It's days like these that I wish I'd read the instruction book for my camera so I could adjust it to low light and speedy fish - most of my photos were a blur of bright colour!

Or a blur of Amelie attempting an escape into a rock pool. Hang on Grandad!

I had better luck with the fish who are happier to pose like this blue-spotted ray who sat very nicely for me. What a fabulous eye?

The penguins were a big hit. They swim so fast, like little torpedoes, propelling themselves vertically out of the water to get back onto the ground.

Can't have a birthday treat with out ice-cream.

I've been taking even more photos that usual lately. Why? Well because I can't stand being left out of Linda's Art Diary Challenge that's happening on DMTV. I've started my own diary and I'm using loads of photos to capture what we get up to. I'll be back soon to show you where I've got with it. 

bye for now,

Laura
