I wasn't too keen on it to begin with, even though I have a Degree in Computing Science I've very much steered away from all of this social networking stuff!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--088-766161.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--088-765087.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Anyway she won so here is my first entry.<br /><br />I've cheated a little bit with this one as it's not entirely current. We live just by some woods that I often go running through. Every year at about Easter time they are covered in bluebells. For the last 3 years I've kept saying that I would take my daughter Holly there to take some photographs, unfortunately the previous two years were a complete washout with the weather. The bluebells don't last very long and by the time the weather had cleared they'd gone.<br /><br />Luckily this year was a different matter, so with a bit of bribery on my part off we went.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--225-742454.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--225-741656.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />As you can see from the pictures the wood was full of them. Holly is only 5 but well used to Dad taking copious pictures of here. Quite a lot of times I have to coax kids to engage with the camera, with Holly its the other way round. I have to try and make here forget she is having her picture taken otherwise she ends up really posing.<br /><br />We started off really well as you can see but after about 45 mins she was really regretting I'd brought her out, nothing a bit of bribery with crisps couldn't sort out (<span style="font-style: italic;">I hope her mum isn't reading this</span>)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--120-741122.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--120-740021.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Like quite a lot of shoots the first and last pictures are often the best. This one is my favourite, its got quite a dream like quality to it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--167-751956.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://shaunedwards.com/blog/uploaded_images/717-Holly--167-751036.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Shaun Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903624322103584828noreply@blogger.com
