Here's One I Made Earlier ...


... and finally uploaded it to http://www.blurb.com/ today. After the success of the little nostalgia book I created for my Uncle's 80th birthday I got somewhat carried away and collected up all the sky/cloud/sunset photos I had taken whilst living at Dilton Marsh. A few others sneaked in and I ended up with 86 pages of book. I've only just ordered it myself today, but have offered it for sale on Blurb. Whether anyone ever buys a copy will remain to be seen, and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed with the preview pages. The first 10 or 15 pages are shown, and they aren't particularly interesting. The last one is of a black sky which is the last impression anyone sees and consequently, to my mind, is a big turn-off. It's too late to change it now so time will tell. If you want to see a preview you can find a link on my sidebar. All criticism (gratefully) received!

However, it was fun ... and so simple ... to do! So if nothing else I, at least, will have a coffee table book to browse through reminding me of some of the wonderful skies I had on my Wiltshire doorstep! Perhaps I'll go through all my floral photos next ...

Hi Sue, what a great idea, your photos are beautiful, good luck with the sales. Love your flower pics in the previous post, we had rain all day yesterday but it's cleared up and sunny now - on the day I went back to work! Hope you're feeling well and business is good!
