Forest Adventure

Hello Everyone! 

I hope your week has been good, and I hope that people from the UK have been enjoying the sun as this kind of weather can be very hard to find here. I suppose that's why we all go a tiny bit cu-koo with even the slightest bit of sun peaking through the clouds.... this leads me onto what this blog post will be about today! 

A fair few weeks ago, maybe even a month or two ago now, me and my family (dad and sister) went for a stroll in the woods - The 100 acre woods (a.k.a The Forest of Bere). It is an old past time 'day out' that I used to do when I was younger, we would regularly go there to take my dog for a walk or take bikes to follow cycle routes - so many fun memories from such a simple place. The reason we went this time was because my dad had recently bought me and my sister some new wellies as essentials for muddy camps, who doesn't love wellies?? So I thought that we must go and test the wellies and go for a walk in the woods. It wasn't as muddy as you'd want it to be whilst wearing wellies, but when I did find a puddle I took the opportunity to have a splash! The sun was out this day, but it was still rather chilly......Here are a few images I took from the 'day out'. Enjoy!

Nice image of the path we followed, and my dads 'lovely' fluorescent coat making an appearance on the side.

The tall tree tops, there's no chance climbing them!

Cheeky feet 'selfie' from me and my sister

Yes, that is me struggling on the wobbly beam 

Here I am apparently posing by the tree

Nice low angle shot of my dad, looking up at him

See, there was some sun shining through the trees!

Although this trip was done a while ago, I thought I would still share the photos and my love for wellies, they're awesome shoes, an essential for everyone! And going to the forest, is such a simple, cost free day out and its fun for all the family - take a picnic, walk the dog, take the choice of the long or short routes around the forest, or just play in the playground. Have fun, whatever you choose to do :D

Thank you so much for reading this post, comment what you like to do for fun with friends or family, it will be interesting to hear. :D

Photos from the year!

Hello Everyone!

I hope we are all settling into 2014 just fine, and sticking to those resolutions you set yourself at the beginning of January. ;) Sorry I have been absent on this blog for a while, I have been so caught up with getting my University applications up together. Submitting pieces of work, here, there and everywhere. I've also been rather unimaginative when it has come to blog content, it can be so hard sometimes.

Anyway, that's enough of that! I wanted this post to be a creative, artsy one to show off my photography skills. And to also show the best times of 2013 through a documentary of photos. What a great start to 2014 blogging, eh!? 

January:

So that is my year (2013) in pictures, it's great to look back at the images you have taken and bring back all the great memories. As I completed an AS level in photography, I think I have definitely got better at achieving nice photos and love looking back at photos taken years ago to see how my skills have developed. Getting an SLR camera for my 18th this year has made me set myself a goal to produce so many more wonderful photographs to be proud of.
