Exploring Kew Gardens

My fiance and I took a trip to Kew gardens during the February half term and I thought I would share my love of photographing plants with a bit of an overview of Kew as a day out.

I studied Ecology at university and therefore really do love a good bit of plant action. I was in my element walking around the Two large Victorian greenhouses and I know how lame that sounds. I enjoyed taking pictures of leaf patterns, textures and the variety of colours. I felt that I could block out all my internal chatter and just focus on something creative which I hadn't done in a long while. I especially enjoyed the palm house as I love tropical plants best as well as having a bit of warmth during a very chilly day out!

My partner really enjoyed walking through the grounds as he loves more natural woodland settings. The daffodils were starting to pop out too!

We booked tickets to go to the orchid festival and it was amazing seeing so many colourful flowers in one place, however be warned, it was very busy.

We made a really nice day date of it and enjoyed just being in each others company in a beautiful place.

Autumn reflection

Happy Monday folks! Where has this last week gone? In fact, how has autumn nearly come and gone! Scarfs, candles, pumpkins, warm drinks and leaves, this time of year is so lovely. This season is always one for getting back into the swings of uni/school work and coming to terms with the fact that summer is now a distant memory, the nights draw closer and the weather gets more and more dreary with each coming day…. Yay? But after a few years of study, I feel like I have got into the balance of life/work but every year September brings around the challenge all over again. With what feels like mountains to do, sometimes the things I enjoy seem to slip. So, having just been set 5 projects all due by December, I thought now would be a good time to outline what I find are the best ways to manage those stressy times but still get what needs to be done… well… done! 1) Lists – an old but true suggestion. Write everything down. The stress of forge...

Just keep swimming

Hello hello, Heres my first blog post. Seemed fitting to start something new on the 9 th of October…. Anyone? Well I’ve been having the burning desire to chit chat and document my thoughts, ideas, mishaps, adventures and maybe even a sprinkling of advice for good measure. So here we go. Strap in folks. This is definitely going to be a bumpy ride so bear with me…. Well happy Monday. Today consisted of my theory driving test which phew I passed! Whoop whoop for me. But as anyone who knows me knows all too well, my stress levels are something that without… well…. I wouldn’t be me. So with stress levels still high but with a sense of success seeping in, I plodded through the ever coldening (not a word but should be) English weather to catch my train. Always busy. Like its midday on a Monday. What are you all doing. Anyway as I slumped into a chewing gum covered seat I rested my arm on the arm rest. But it wasn’t an arm rest. It was a poor unsuspecting middle aged mans knee wh...

Autumn at the Arboretum

Hey all, I went to Westonbirt arboretum again this year and loved it just as much as the first time. The crunching of the leaves, the sun through the blazing leaves and a bitter breeze on my face. It was lovely to have a day away from everything. We got wrapped up in our woollies and braved the cold day and really was not disappointing with the array of colours. A time to really relax and just be in the moment. How hippy-fied of me… We spent the day looking at so many beautiful autumn colours, drinking hot chocolate and eating doughnuts! My boyfriend ( dark_matter97 ) and I took lots of pictures while I was there and thought I would share a few; Happy Halloween and I hope you all have had a great autumn thus far, Id love to see any autumn pictures you have taken this year! Love, Lozzy
