Day 243 - Final Day.

The final day of freedom.... Hence the bouncy castle covered in foam. Anna's party.. happy birthday Anna!

So its the last day of summer. I've had a great summer, like a really really good summer! I'm grateful to everyone who made it special... you know who you are!! I love you! :) Now on to my final year of high school...

Day 237 - Shooting For The Sun

Yeah, I'm still kinda liking this shooting into the sun thing... I like this photo. It's of a tree in my garden. It just seemed to have blossomed all of a sudden and it's really pretty. I boosted the temperature in the picture ever so slightly, just do give it that summer look!I successfully did nothing today!

Day 202 - Howdy Y'all!

Today there was 50/50 weather... on one side of the sky there were dark grey clouds and on the other, clear blue skys. This is a picture of the clouds over the Mourne Mountains moving towards my house.So I can tick another one off! This one excites me a lot!!

#11. Buy a cowboy hat.
Woop woop! This is me in my new cowboy hat! It arrived this morning! I'm happy!

Day 195 - THUNDER!!

So this isn't a great photo, but I was chilling in my room when I heard the thunder rumble so I grabbed my camera to get a pic of the rain. I didn't have time to use manual mode, so the sky isn't really white... it was quite a dark gray. It was quite exciting, but I hope it doesn't last too long into the future. We get quite a lot of storms in the summer...

Day 194 - You Know What I Love?

This is a picture of a bird. Yes. You know what I love? Ikea. I was in Ikea today. You know what else I love? Decathlon. I was in Decathlon today. You know what else I love? America... I wasn't in America today.

Shout out to all my friends who are in other countries right now!! (and that's a lot of them actually)

Day 193 - Hello Sunshine!

Recently it has been typical Northern Irish weather, and has been raining... sad times. But today, the sun came out to say hello! Hello Sunshine! So I've spent most of this morning sun bathing :D I want to build up a tan soon! I dandered around the garden for a while to get my picture of the day, and noticed this rather drooped looking patch of flowers. It just seemed to have fell onto the road, it looked kinda cute and sad at the same time, so I took a pic! Hope you like!

Day 192 - Splish Splash Splosh...

I've been meaning to try this for a long time, and I'm quite pleased with it for a first attempt! Again, it's one of these nights that I just don't feel the need to write much, so I won't bore you by doing so. I hope you're having an awesome summer anyway! :) :)

Day 190 - Gimme Lazy Days...

It was a lazy day today... reminds me of the song "I Got You" by Train... gimme lazy days with nothing better to do, than singin' oh black water keep on rolling while I wait for you, I don't care if it rains, I'll be just fine, I'm leaving the ghosts behind until I got you. Yep, I do like a bit of Train, I do. Soundtrack of the summer? I think so!
I guess lazy days require a lazy picture... so I used webcam! It's a self portrait... incase you didn't realise.

Day 184 - I LOVE LUNCH!

I LOVE LUNCH! It's half way to dinner... lol.So I've come to realize that when I'm home all day with nothing to do I eat like a PIE. Like I've eaten non stop for the past two days. It sickens me. Meant to go out for a run to burn it off... so far that hasn't happened! :P

Day 183 - When Inspiration Fails Me...

Flowers. Because I've been at home all day and can't think of anything else.

Day 182 - ...And This Is The First Of July

The song playing on my iPod is "First of July" by Foy Vance. Fitting song, as it is the first of July! Love Foy Vance! :)

Day 181 - Me And My Pervy Donkey!

So today I was hanging out with some donkeys :) I think this one below is Maggie... but I'll check that haha.This one is Stan. I have decided if Stan was a human he would be my boyfriend. He seemed very interested in my boobs anyway! :P So it's the first time I've been perved on by a donkey..... don't ask, honestly!And this little cutie is the newest one, she's adorable! Shy, but adorable!I had a fun day, hanging out at Mich's :) Check out this post in her blog to see something else we did ;) Again... it's best not to ask! :D

Day 175 - Los Estados Unidos!

So this picture seems rather appropriate for today. It's of the American flag Corinne brought me back from America last year, with my fairy lights.
The picture is appropriate for various reasons -
  • Dear Vikki is currently cruisin' round America and will be for another good while!
  • Dear Corinne leaves tomorrow morning to cruise around America for a good while!
  • Dear Samantha will also be leaving in the not so distant future to cruise round America!
  • I already miss / will miss the above a lot!!
aaaaannd.....
  • I'm talking to Americans on Skype...
  • Those fairy lights are really pretty and I think I'll turn them on more often! (okay that was more of a train of thought than a reason...)
But I said goodbye to school for the last time before results day today, so summer has officially begun!! :D And a good summer it shall be! I hope all of you have a truly wonderful summer, whether you're in America, Northern Ireland or anywhere! :)

Day 172 - Spontaneous!

I believe the best adventures are spontaneous.
At about 11:30pm last night a spontaneous decision was made for two besties to hike up Donard together. It turned out to be a good plan. :) :)
Yep! I had a good day!!
I am fortunate enough to live in a very beautiful part of the world... you can see, my hometown Newcastle, beside the sea in this picture. The mountains of Mourne really do sweep down to the sea!
So my friend Mich and I decided to hike up the tallest mountain in our country (sounds much more impressive than it actually is). The natural thing to do at the top of this mountain would be to blow bubbles - so we did!
I love this picture below... I set the camera on a rock on self timer. The angle it's set at was an accident, but I think it works really well!
So I'm really rather sunburnt now, and in quite a bit of pain, but in good spirits! I'm looking forward to the rest of my summer now... :D :D and that's exciting!! It feels like summer has begun now.

Day 170 - Chillin' Out Maxing Relaxin' All Cool

Summer is sitting in the garden, reading a book, with your iPod plugged in and a bottle of cream soda in your hand... :)

Day 167 - 夏

It's summer!! (Summer in Japanese is 夏, hence the title of this post) I have finished my last exam and now it is summer! Wanna know something ironic? I'm going into school tomorrow.... lol(?)

Ah well... tomorrow will actually be fun! ;)
Tonight Jayne and I went for a wee walk at the outskirts of Tollymore. (We were at the buildings opening - I had designed the new logo so my dad wanted me to go... a Blue Peter presenter [Helen Skelton] was there... she's nice! Lol) 'Twas nice to have a little catch up! It's a bit sad that the best picture we had decided that I took was one that didn't include Jayne's face though... =P

So here's a picture of her face haha! :) Love her!

Day 166 - Penultimate (Is A Good Word!)

The sky was pretty tonight! Just had to make it my picture of the day!Haha, I'm laughing at my "deep post" for yesterday... I guess I was in one of those moods...

So tomorrow is my last exam! NO MORE REVISION!!! YEAHH!! Then I'm off for summer woopaa! It's Moving Image Arts... I'm not overly worried about it... meh, we'll see how it goes!

Day 152 - Daisy Chains...

Revision is killing me a little bit inside... I can't wait until summer really begins! Then I can spend all day taking pictures of daisies without feeling guilty for not being inside studying! Wooo! Cannot wait!

Day 143 - La Agua

So the good weather returned today! It's finally starting to really look like summer! I took a break from doing art to go outside with my sister and we had some fun spraying the air with the garden hose!Hope you like these pics! :)

Day 88 - Rainshine.

It's rainy season, and everyone's complaining. Why? Why do you complain? There's something I love about the rain... one of my best memories of summer is sitting, completely still on a rubber dingy in Lough Erne. It was lashing, and I was getting drenched, but I sat there on the edge of the dingy, watching the rain drops bounce off the lake. It was one of those moments when I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature.

I'm thankful for the rain... it helps me appreciate the sun.
