Sorry for my absense guys, so much has been going on - I started uni, what!? and have practically been drowning in study.

Talking about drowning, if its going to happen, then you may as well go out here!

This shot was in Plitvice Lakes National Park, where the water is so crystal clear and turquoise blue, it literally feels like a dream. DEFINITELY a place for you're bucket list. (However... wear comfy shoes, you get so swept up in the beauty of it that you could end up walking for days!)

"One of the most satisfying experiences I know is to just fully appreciate an individual the way we appreciate sunsets. When we look at a sunset you don't find yourself saying 'soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple in the cloud colour'... You don't try to control a sunset you watch it with awe as it unfolds. It is this receptive, open attitude which is necessary to truly percieve something as it is".

You can't beat a Western Australian sunset... Each one unique and just as beautiful as the last. This one was in Coral Bay, my favourite place in the world.

"Day and night are linked in a way that few things are, there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?" - Nicholas Sparks

I've always been absolutely petrified of cows... ever since my dear mother decided to dress me in a red raincoat and walk me across a field full of cows to get her usual Sunday pint. After being charged at and having to run across what seemed like the biggest field in the universe as fast as my little (at the time) legs could take me, its safe to say I have taurophobia. However... a decade later and camera in hand I faced my fear and managed to keep my hands steady enough to capture this beautiful creature. Still have a long way to go... but its an improvement from the girl who last summer wouldn't even get off a tour bus in Scotland to view the Scottish's pride and joy of safely fenced in highland cattle.
