( instagram-addict )

I have had Instagram on my phone for well over a year now and I am still absolutely addicted to it. It is such a great phone app to have, if not the best app to have. Where ever I am, and whatever I see, I can take a picture instantly and make it look like I am a professional photographer... I just can't stop using it :)

Since downloading Instagram all those many months ago, I have also become more aware of my followers and the people I follow on it... I am just amazed at all the beautiful pictures that are posted each day. I could spend hours looking through them all. I'm totally addicted!!! hehehe.
Below is a tiny sample of the hundreds of photos I have on Instagram, so please feel free to check out the rest of the photos on my Instagram Profile.

( morning walk in London )

Living in London is usually met with noise, traffic, and lots of people running around with places to go. A few days ago I thought I'd get up earlier and take a different route to work, via the amazing park at the end of my street... and this is what I had waiting for me :)

( Autumn morning in London )

Last weekend I decided to have a stroll round the beautiful Richmond Park, London.
It has to be my favourite park in London because of the size, the wildlife and the greenery. Saying that, the green is now more orange, yellow and red... AMAZING.
I just wanted to post a few of the images I captured of my trip to share with you all. As you can see, I'm really getting into my photography.
Goal for next year: have my own photography exhibition ;) hehehe.

( London living - my winning photo )

I'm so excited at the moment! I woke up yesterday thinking it was going to be just a normal Monday. I was in work for 9:00am on the dot and checked my emails as usual. I was extremely excited to see an email from a very popular London blog called  'London Living'. I had entered a photography competition through them about 2 weeks ago. The competition requirements were to upload a personal photo that represents your Summer of London, so I thought, 'why not'. To my shock and 'over' excitement, I WON!
Here is my winning picture below. You will be able to see my photo along with all the runners-up, at the Getty Images Gallery in Stratford, London in the Autumn. I'm so excited to see one of my photographs in a prestigious London gallery :)
To see more photos by me, please check out my instagram profile.

I have also included some of the runners-up contestants... enjoy.

( lake district beauty - 1 of 3 )

Hi all. I hope you are all well. I have just got back from a wonderful holiday in the Lake District with my friends. I have wanted to go there for such long time now and last weekend I finally made it. It seems crazy that I have never been before as it's not even that far and also in the UK... Who knew the UK had so many beautiful places ;) Let me tell you now... I will be going back again and again and again!
Unfortunately, the first day we got there it rained none stop so we spent the day exploring the local town, and of course... the pubs :) The next two days were just perfect. The sun finally came out and stayed out for our two stunning walks around the villages and countryside surrounding Lake Windermere.
I have selected my favourite photos from this amazing place... I could have stayed taking photos forever.
It was so hard to select my favourite photos, but here are just a few. I hope you like them.
