Grand Prismatic Spring

This is the view from the Grand Prismatic Overlook, its worth the hike. Its 1.5 mile out and back trail. Its crowded during my visit but still worth it, you just have to squeeze in so you can be in the front for photos :)

 

ARCHES NATIONAL PARK - UTAH

Have you been to Arches? If not you should put it on your travel bucket list. There are a lot to see in Arches. On our first day we woke up super early to see the sunrise in Delicate Arch. It's still dark when we entered the park, we went straight to the parking lot where the trail start for delicate arch. When we arrived in there, there was already tons of car parked.

We are not that so fit for hikes so we agreed to just do one hike and yeah its the delicate arch because we badly want to see it ourselves. It's on Utah's plate number so its so popular :). Uggh we underestimate the hike. To get to Delicate Arch, it is a 3-mile round trip hike with 480 feet of elevation gain. This hike, plus time to view the arch, takes most people 2 to 3 hours. The National Park Service describes this hike as difficult i admit i almost give up but the thought of seeing it myself keeps me going.

We never see the sunrise because we were slow haha but trust me, it's worth the hike, it was so beautiful. The viewing area was already packed when we arrived there. It's so good to see it.

There is still a lot to see a lot of hikes, but i was so tired so we only drove around the park and pull over when we see an interesting view :) Below are the photos i took.

RED CHAIR LAVENDER

These photos were taken last Saturday (July 11, 2020). Our original plan was to attend the Red Chair Lavender Festival, but due to pandemic it was cancelled. Still there's another lavender thing in Payette its called PINUP Takeover at U-Pick Lavender Festival, so we decided to go. We were so excited but we are so disappointed when we get there. It was like just a backyard, my seven years old niece said "this is just like a backyard sale :(" she was not happy. 

We decided to go to RED CHAIR LAVENDER. We were glad we went, it was so beautiful my niece enjoyed it so much. There's not a lot pf people during our visit, its like the whole fields are for us, there are still people but not crowded. 

Some of the people that was in there were harvesting the lavender. I guess its time for the lavenders to get harvested but still the fields was huge and flowers were everywhere. We love it in there :)

Snow, Snow, Snowy Day

Snowy Day. Here in UK particularly in Oxfordshire snow is very seldom, i mean a snow like this is very seldom. I am just lucky to had witnessed a kind of snow like this. They said that its been like three years the last time they had snow like this, and this year is my last year here in UK hahaha i am lucky right? :) some of the photos  i took below.

Street Photography - Warwick

Last week we went to WARWICK CASTLE so after exploring the castle we went out to the streets of Warwick to explore more. We took photos before it gets dark.

WARWICK

Warwick (/ˈwɒrɪk/ WORR-ik) is the county town of Warwickshire, England. The town lies upon the River Avon, 11 miles (18 km) south of Coventry and just west of Leamington Spa and Whitnash with which it is conjoined. At the 2011 United Kingdom census, it had a population of 31,345.

There was human activity at Warwick as early as the Neolithic period, and constant habitation since the 6th century. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century; Warwick Castle was established in 1068 as part of the Norman conquest of England. Warwick School claims to be the oldest boys' school in the country. The earldom of Warwick was created in 1088 and the earls controlled the town in the medieval period and built town walls, of which Eastgate and Westgate survive. The castle developed into a stone fortress and then a country house and is today a popular tourist attraction.

The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694 destroyed much of the medieval town and as a result most buildings post-date this period. Though Warwick did not become industrialised in the 19th century, it has experienced growth since 1801 when the population was 5,592. Racing Club Warwick F.C., founded in 1919, is based in the town. The town is administered by Warwick District Council and Warwickshire County Council has its headquarters in Warwick. (from wikipedia)

Fall Season

Fall season is probably my favourite season. I love the changing colours of the leaves. I love how beautiful it is. As of this writing the trees are now bald. All the leaves are fallen and its getting colder and colder. Frosty surroundings almost every morning.

Fall Season

Random Photos - Flowers

Went for a "Window" Shopping in Bicester Village last week, aside from a huge crowd and huge stores, big shopping stores, there was these beautiful things in there, it's not noticeable but i noticed it as i am a flower lover. I find it so beautiful so i took photo.

Sumilon Island - Philippines

We been here last October 2017. It was my first time here, OMG i fell in love. This Island is just so beautiful. It seems like a paradise. I missed this place. Specially right now that its too cold here in UK.

Sunset in Durdle Door

Only seen this photos before on instagram and now i see it by myself. Its amazingly beautiful place. Took some photos before it get dark.

Corfe Castle

Our plan was to go to Old Harry Rocks but we saw this beautiful ruins at the top of the hill. Well we're a castle sucker, we cant resist. We end up visiting this castle first before we proceed to our original destination.

Old Harry Rocks

We went roadtrip to Southwest of England. Wow there are a lot to see in there. The place is so beautiful and the cliffs just take my breath away.

Playing with the Christmas lights and the Camera

We're putting up our christmas tree and the then decorating it with ornaments and the christmas lights. Then before we put it to the tree we played it first. Get the camera and do the long exposure. It did come out great. LOL hahaha I like it.

Couple in red in the woods

While walking into the woods to Durdle Door these couple just having fun, a lil bit of running while holding hands, and it looks cute, so i took a snap before they will be so far from us. 

Testing

Got a flower from my birthday and i am playing with my camera and made the flower as my subject. I love taking photos of flower as flowers are simply beautiful. Flower alone is beautiful, a simple camera or a DSLR. 

Photography is my Passion

I still remember the first day i got to hold a DSLR Camera, and took my first photo and glanced with it, I feel in love and promised to myself that someday i can have a DSLR camera and took a lot of photos. I start with my android phone as DSLR are expensive and i cant afford with it. I signed up Instagram and amazed with the beautiful photos. I am so in love how photos can be that beautiful. I keep on browsing on instagram, photography blogs and etc. 

Now i have my DSLR camera, a gift from my man. I am so happy with my photos now. I am not a professional photographer, I am exploring still, my photos are not perfect, but as a starter i am happy of the outcome.
