We did it. For the third year in a row we’ve managed to get a family photo every single month for the me and mine project.
I remember feeling so proud when we made it the full year in 2017, after trying and failing to get regular family photos the year before. And then we did it again in 2018, which I think is when I really started to get more comfortable setting the camera up while we were out and about to get the photos I wanted.
Now I don’t really give it a second thought as I prop the camera up somewhere and snap away with our remote trigger. For December’s photos this year we popped the camera on a bench in Cwmdonkin Park and then sat down on the other bench across the path.
We’ve been to this park quite a few times this year, but this is the first time we’ve stopped to take family photos there.
Looking back at all the photos we took for the me and mine project this year it’s made me smile quite how many of them were taken at the beach.
A few were taken on our regular walks on Swansea bay, and then we also took some up on the cliffs by Mumbles, at the top of Rhossili down and by the rock pools at Langland.
And just to mix things up a little bit we also took some photos in Clyne woods and in the little park by the shops where we sometimes stop after swimming lessons.
I really love how these photos capture our year. These pictures of us, together, at one or another of our regular spots for weekend walks.
I can’t wait to do it all again in 2020!
