sunshine and photography

This week in Scotland there has been…………….. SUNSHINE!

Real sunshine, well kinda. Its not the blaring hot summer sun we get in kiwi land but we are pretending it is.

People are smiling more, and we have been heading to one of two places after work: the park (with the dogs I’ve started walking), or the beer gardens to lap up the last bit of after-work sun. Mmmm. To be consistent with Scottish weather, I wouldnt be surprised if it snows on the weekend. The weather man here has a really difficult job I tell ya. Four seasons in a day.

I’ve started dog walking and I love it. Gives me motivation to exercise as well as getting doggy luff time. Here’s a photo I took of Nina, she’s a chinese crested with no hair on her body. Everyone say’s she is ugly but I think she’s ugly-cute.

Me and my girlie have 3 weeks left until our Europe trip and getting reallllly excited. I get so amped about seeing new places and new things, that’s what Im here for after all. And we get to see 5 new countries. We will be couchsurfing quite a bit with locals so looking forward to new experiences.

I am trying my hand at photography and am learning a few things from the French boy.

Sometimes I feel borderline paparazzi, clicky clicky. But apparently it is the best way to get good pictures as you delete 80% of your photos and will only have a few shots you like. Photography is an amazing thing because once you start looking through a lens, you see beautiful opportunities in everything and things most people would not find beautiful. It gives you a new eye for things, it’s exciting.
