Travel Snaps – UK Style {Part II}

I have been in such a great mood this week.  It could have a wee something to do with the fact that it is my first week officially as a full-time professional photographer.  I have a hunch that it might have a little something to do with that 😉  It could also be influenced by this amazing bright thing in the sky that I haven’t seen for awhile.  Love it !!

I am just feeling so lucky and blessed.  Don’t you just love it when things feel like they are falling into place.  Sort of like there is this calm and peace that things are right where they are supposed to be and everything is in balance.

Well before I get too gushy on you I guess I should get on to the pics.  Speaking of gushy though … am I the only one who cannot watch the Olympics without bawling their eyes out ?!  Seriously, Darren is beginning to think that I have some emotional hypersensitivity disorder these days.  The commercials, medal ceremonies, victories, defeats … everything is making me cry !  In a good way though 🙂  I feel incredibly proud to be Canadian right now.

Those are all individual tea bags !

Ooops, I meant to say “so much” instead of “such”.

Thank you!! The UK was just amazing. I could have taken photos all day and night. There was such much that was so different from home and it was great to see somewhere new through ‘fresh’ eyes. The roses are made of wax for everyone who was wondering. Incredible, right ?!

You are right on track, Kim. Those are perfect words for such an amazing feeling place. Just keep flowing with it, you’re going places fast!

I don’t understand how each posts always sort of one-ups the previous. These are incredible, especially the latter half of the series! I LOOOVVE the shot of the flower basket in the window and castle reflection! Clever! I’m amazed, and you are awesome. I think these just inspired me!
