Birds...

A quick little stop motion I made to kick off 2012
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

The crane is said to stand for long life and good luck- some even say that if you fold a thousand cranes you will be granted a wish.  I have only made two so far so I still have quite a way to go to a thousand! In the meantime however they look very pretty sitting atop my bedroom mirror.

The song is Ave Maria an unreleased demo by the lovely Regina Spektor- check out the full song on youtube- I promise you you won't regret it :)

Finding the words...

Photography and editing by me

I wish every day could be spent like this.  Walking in no direction and yet every direction.  Getting lost with nothing but the photos and footprints to trace your way back.  



Happy Autumn

who can resist running through the woods while Autumn leaves are falling all around- not me!

Time for a change...



How is it the middle of October already?  I honestly have no idea where this month has gone!  College has been crazy finalising uni applications but I am determined to make the most of Autumn now that it is finally coming round.

5 things I love about Autumn...

1.  The colours (I know it is an obvious one but I never get over how pretty the trees are at this time of year)

2.  The wooly clothes.  When it is cold outside there is nothing more comforting than snuggling in an extra long scarf which wraps round my neck a good two or three times.

3.  The food.  Apple pies, steak and mushroom stews, roasted vegetables... hmmm this may not be sounding too health but it is definately making me hungry!

4.  The cups of tea with a lump of sugar- I'm not normally the biggest fan of hot drinks but they seem to taste a thousand times better after coming in from a walk in the cold.

5.  The photos- there are so many pretty Autumn photos around my favourite blogs at the moment I am always left feeling inspired.

 

The Secret Garden

"A garden. I've stolen a garden. But it may already be dead, I don't know..."

Over the summer I stumbled across a little place straight out of The Secret Garden which was always one of my favourite films growing up.  There is something so magical and romantic about a walled garden- if only I could afford to build one of my very own one day.    

All photographs by me- how adorable is that little lady bird!

mostly... I think you're quite wonderful

I seem to be finding so much inspiration today on the lovely Kate's tumblr.  sourced http://ohrainydays.tumblr.com/.

How I would love to see so many lanterns flying like that in real life- they really remind me of that amazing scene in Tangled! 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend
