Travel In Your Head

You can travel in many ways, in luxury or on budget and everything inbetween. And if travelling is one of your hobbies you try to get away as much as you can. Unfortunately my budget doesn’t allow me to travel 100 times a year, which is probably the truth for most people. But luckily for me there is another way to get away for a bit.

I’m more into macro and nature photography (and of course capturing my travels as best as possible). But Bonnie from A Compass Rose has “self portrait saturday” every week and it’s amazing to see her fantastic self portraits weekly. Along with it she makes it a link up to meet other bloggers.

Because I could finally wear my new vintage dress (I saved it for my birthday) and the weather wasn’t too bad either I decided to step in front of the camera for a change. You’ll find the result below. The wind sort of messed up my hair but oh well, you can’t have everything.

ThrowBack Thursday; Ballater

And it’s Thursday again which means time for another throwback Thursday! This time it’s me “rocking out” near Balmoral Castle in Ballater, Scotland. I’m enjoying the view of River Dee from a big rock on the river side. Such a beautiful place to be, sit and contemplate life.
