Tentsmuir forest

We do not roam the woods oft enough. We like beaches, true - all year around. We live 10 min walk away from one. Still it's not an excuse enough to ignore the woods, something to work on. We finally made it to Tentsmuir on a crisp October day. We roamed the dunes, ended up on the beach (again :-), and made our way back to the trees. It was full of autumn smells, yellow leaves, mushrooms, golden trees and the quiet. 

 It was full of tree climbing, treasure hunting, stick collecting and stick walking, mushroom watching, path running, log walking and all the fun. 


To be continued - for I made too many nice photos to squeeze in one post :-)

3 reasons to have your family photos in Villa Giulia park

Immagine
Villa Giulia is a park in historic center of Palermo. It has its origins in 18th century and is remarkable for its perfect square shape with diagonal alleys dividing the park in different sections. Marble statues and fountains, a sundial, shady alleys and open spaces, and wide variety of trees and shrubbery make it a popular spot both with locals and tourists.  If you'd like your family photos to have lush green background with a touch of special Sicilian atmosphere, this park definitely should be considered. It ticks all the boxes - plenty of space, nice surroundings, easy access, lots of options for things to do during your photo shoot to get natural and emotional images (anyway we don't do posed photos on the benches or next to flowering shrubs!).  Here are my top 3 reasons why villa Giulia is a great location for family photo sessions. Reason 1  Lots of space and diversity. The park has an alley with Ficus trees, a little bamboo forest, a hill with cacti and succulen...

Tentsmuir forest, continued

Immagine
This is second part of our adventures in Tentsmuir fores t. I do not have much to say, I loved it and pictures tell it all much better than words :-) I thought that I've included about half of the photos in the first post. How wrong I was! This one is interesting, because it shows the face Masha makes, when she does not want to be photographed. This time I did it though. With Grandpa. This boy, making faces and running away. Then coming back :-) This girl, with messy bun. She is a modern version of Little Red Riding Hood, in red converse instead of the hat. It was good. We should come back.

Socks special

Immagine
What to say. They always fly around, these baby socks. Yet they can never be found when they are needed. They are played with, eaten, hidden... and sometimes worn too.

Against the wind

Immagine
If I'd be asked to describe West Sands with one word - it would be windy. It is of course nice, big, fun - you can do kite, play ball, run, play with sand, collect shells, chase seagulls,  watch sand dunes. Swim, when it is warmer. People do all kinds of things on West Sands - there even used to be a motor bike race. Now it is mostly around the wind - all kinds of wind surfing on sand and kites, horseback riding. Then there is Chariots of Fire run , which we plan to do again this year. Matteo was racing too. Against the wind mostly. Maya was the pit stop. Fuel was chocolate. And then he was too cold with purple lips and hiding as deep inside the hat as possible :-) We played some ball, which wanted to roll into the sea. We also did some kite. It was mostly getting twisted and falling down. Our kite looks much better on the photos I have to say :) Despite the cold and wind, there is always time to be a goofball. And sticking tongue seems to be the favorite in this...

Two walks, two beaches

Immagine
Beach is one of our regular destinations. St Andrews gives you a choice of windy West Sands with its wonderful panorama of the town, and endless sandy vista during low tide. Or smaller and somewhat cosier East Sands with its pier, cathedral and Coastal Path curving its way along the sea.

Summer, meet Autumn

Immagine
Summer, lush green grasses and endless days, flowers and bumblebees and sand between your toes. It's over, even in our extended and twisted calendar. The world is full of reds and yellows already, apples and bright leaves on the grass, and we are working on Halloween costumes and anticipating lots of horror, short days, fresh Scottish winds and rains. My summer photo project is over too. Check #100momentsofsummer   to see it all. Summer meets Autumn, is being polite and says hello.  Autumn brings gifts, of crispy apples and orange pumpkins, red and yellow leaves, short days and long shadows, rains and bare trees... I love autumn, it brings special brand of tranquility to the world. You shed the leaves of past summer and see the world clearer. Harvesting the fruits of my summer photo project, time to start the next one. Or pack the camera, lenses, and take a break :-) The next photo project will run for the next 5 months, till spring. It will be about our life,...
