More Flowers.

So, here we are again. Are you sick of flowers yet?

I went back to Richmond Park's Isabella Plantation in mid-May, which is when these photos were taken (and forgotten about!). They were definitely not as beautiful as they were in April, but the bees and ducklings that had appeared were a lovely change from the previous BAM-you'll-be-seeing-flowers-in-your-sleep-and-you-can't-escape-it landscape.

Cropped

I did these ages ago, right after I uploaded the previous Bluebells in the Woods post, though for some strange reason, I decided to leave them here in drafts.

Silly me...

Anyhow, I've been playing around with Photoshop a bit more recently and came up with these versions of some of my photos. Just a bit of cropping, nothing much, but the effect it gives is pretty cool, I think.

Bluebells in the Woods

Here's a little throwback, back to the warm evening on the 29th April when I went into the woods.

It wasn't that dramatic, I'm just a little bored right now and have only my own imagination to entertain me ;)

Anyway, this was more than three months ago, time is flying too fast! I took some photos that day but was too busy at the time to sort through them, so here we are, months later.

On a side note, I finally watched Into the Woods a few days back. It was okay, but not as awesome as I had expected. I'd heard quite a lot of good things about it from friends, so maybe my expectations were too high - the whole concept of intertwining stories was really cool, but the actual plot was a bit meh for me. Too many parts that didn't quite fit in with the story as seamlessly as they should've.

The trip was really just to see the bluebells, which were lovely, albeit a little sparse and withered. Should've gone earlier...

I've been really into cool angles in my photography. There's something about seeing a normal landscape or object from a different angle, like from right next to the ground, that I find so fascinating. Of course, cue the strange stares coming your way as you're crouching in the most awkward places...

Greece Adventures Day 6 (4/7/17): Saying Our Goodbyes

Day 6, the last day. What a holiday it has been!

♥

I'd converted my friends by this point, and instead of me being the one insistently telling them we needed to have a 'beach holiday', they were the ones who demanded we visit the ocean one last time before we leave Naxos. And I'm glad they did. We woke up bright and early in the morning to slot in some time for photo-taking there, something we didn't do much of in the past few days - expensive cameras, sand, and water don't mix well!

After 'de-sanding' ourselves the best we could (we all know that once you visit the beach, there's sand following you around forever), we had a quick breakfast by the port, whilst keeping one eye out for our ferry.

As soon as it arrived, we ran over, probably looking like we'd just escaped from a mental asylum. All five of us, flying past in a storm of flapping clothes and wide-brimmed hats, whilst dragging our suitcases, which were bouncing up and down on the cobbled floor, behind us. The whole island and all its neighbours may have heard us, but hey, we got on the ferry at least!

Once back in Santorini, we milled around for a few hours before our flight. Seeing Santorini again was like reading old news - we'd had enough already (hence the lack of photos!).

There was a little museum that we decided to visit, the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, a fancy name for a frankly average, borderline boring, museum. It had some artefacts that were taken from Akrotiri, the town we visited on Day 2, which was alright. There was also a small live lizard/gecko that had found its way into the museum and was scuttling around on the floor.

I'm telling you, lizards are getting smarter by the minute! They're already showing interest in humans - they'll be taking over the world soon and we'll all be bowing down to the lizard gods!!

Anyway, I'll end this here before I go too crazy! The flight was okay, I was so exhausted that I slept for quite a lot of it. I also never realised how much I missed my bed at home whilst away. There's just nothing better in life than your own cosy bed :)

Greece was one of the best holidays I've ever had. Not only was the location perfect (you'd have to be blind and in denial to tell me Greece isn't pretty), but I also shared this experience with the people I love, making each moment that much more exciting, beautiful, and special.

Ok, I'm leaving before it gets cheesier than this. There's practically delicious, golden, melted goo seeping off the page and slowly dripping down your device as you read...

I love you
