The Little Lost Duck...

Hello to all you lovelies! This post is filled with warm fuzzies! Trust me.

I can't believe how many new readers I have gained recently! You guys are the best and I am loving reading all your sweet comments! Thank you so much much for taking the time to visit me and leave your thoughts!

I also want to thank all the awesome bloggers who have contacted me about doing their blog designs! Way to make a girl feel loved! I have a list with eight fab bloggers waiting for me to get my photoshop on, which I am doing (often instead of my school work) and I am loving it. SineadElle Designs is officially up and running! I just need to set up an official site or something. After I get the hang of things I will start charging for my services, but don't worry, I plan to have super cheap rates! (like ridiculously cheap!)

Now for a story...

My mum, nana, and aunty visited my cousin and I this Sunday and we all went for a walk around the Hamilton lake. It was a gorgeous day (for Hamilton) with only a bit of wind, so it was perfect for a stroll. As it is now spring in New Zealand there were baby ducklings EVERYWHERE. It was cuteness overload!

And this poor little duckling was my favourite. He was lost, somehow separated from his mummy and he could not stop cheeping and crying for her. It was so sad to see, poor little duckie! All I wanted to do was pick him up and find the mother duck, but obviously I couldn't. But as we continued walking around we saw a mother duck with some ducklings them same size, and she was quacking away as though looking for something. So I like to think she found her little duckling. He really was the cutest thing...

How adorable right?! Hope you are all feeling the warm fuzzies now, I certainly am! Have a fab week guys! I will be back on Friday ( I have a lot of work to do tomorrow :( boo!) with something awesome (aren't I always?!)

A Walk In The Sun...

The last few days have been spent  drinking coffee, reading books, sleeping late and going for walks... its been heavenly!

While on these walks I have pulled out my camera and managed to capture some pretty shots that I'm quite happy with, so I thought I would share them with you to brighten your Saturdays!

Here's to the weekend!

A Secret Garden...

Sunday was a family trip day, my dad, his girlfriend, her 5 year old, my brother and I visited one of my favourite gardens/parks! The Te Puna Quarry park is such a cool place to visit. There are so many different pathways and sculptures, you never quite know what you will see next...

Being the good photographer/blogger that I am I have a truckload of photos for you!

Riding a train and a dragon! And there I am practising my Thor hammer pose!

I love all the artwork that has been donated to the park, hidden throughout the gardens...

I think the owl is my favourite! I found it hidden behind a bush

This is one of my favourites!!

Getting all Jurassic Park!! Love the cute T-Rex

Pretty mosaic pond!

Places like this make me want to go out walking more... I get bored unless there are pretty and exciting things for me to look at!

What do you think about the photos I managed to get?

Do you have a favourite park to visit?!

p.s. Don't forget to link-up tomorrow with On The Screen! Get your film & TV posts ready!

Out Of Summertime...

I spent my morning in bed watching an indie horror movie called The Shrine (it wasn't half bad either), as ya do, so by the time the film finished I was a bit stir crazy and decided to go for a walk. It was kind of spitting but not yet full-fledged rain so I was off.

I grabbed my camera like a good little blogger and started wandering around my block. The thing that stood out to me the most was how colourful the plant life was in contrast to the grey skies! Its the autumn/winter phenomenon. Honestly it was gorgeous so I got snap-happy and put on my amateur photographer hat... I'm pretty pleased with the result!

 I love how you can see the raindrops on the flower. And I think the lighting is pretty sweet!

The tree is seriously this red!! I didn't edit it or anything!

There are clouds a-gathering! It was about this point when in full on rained on me, I love how spooky 

this photo is. But pretty at the same time!

This is my favourite picture I took! I somehow managed to select focus on my non-fancy
camera and the colours are gorgeous!

What do you guys like to photograph?  And when does your inspiration strike?

This Is My Country...

To brighten you Monday mornings I thought I would share with you some photos I have taken of the beautifulness that is New Zealand...

This is a walk called Karangahake Gorge, I have done this walk with my friends in summer for the past couple of years and its so much fun, and so beautiful!

Half-way through the walk there is a super long train tunnel you get to walk down! As demonstrated by my friends Callie, Imogen, and Annalise...

There are also abandoned underground mining caves you get to explore!

And mining equipment!

And last but not least, here is the view from my Dad's house in the country. We live on a bit of a farm there :D

Happy Monday guys! (Or Sunday depending where you are) Enjoy your days
