Covent Garden

One of my first trips to London was in primary school when I was lucky enough to be taken to see Grease for a friends birthday. We had an explore of Covent Garden whilst we were there and I remember being completely taken with how delightful it was with all the people, the performers and the gorgeous architecture.

I love Covent Garden now as much as I ever have - the people watching especially is just delightful. The woman at the piano changed into heels for having her photo taken, the lady in the cardigan spotted me as I put the camera down and looked a little worried, the families and friends enjoying their food managed to look as if they were the only people there, happily ignoring the chaos around them.

Edinburgh Little Details

It’s been nearly a whole year since we were in Edinburgh so I’m a bit late sharing these. But I got round to it, and thats what matters.

I’ve been struggling a little with a couple of these where the main object I wanted in focus isn’t - and I’ve been trying to decide if that detracts from them as a final result. The skull grave (an intended nod to my interwebs friend Dianne) isn’t in focus - yet the ivy behind it is - and once I start looking at the ivy I kind of get sucked into the textures and reflections of light… and almost forget the grave stone is there. Not my intention… but I think I like it. What do you think?

I’ve totally forgotten the name of the dog statue - I’ll have to look it up and update this (at some point ha) but I loved it!

Edit: I looked it up and its Bum the dog. Bum!! How could I forget that?! Anyway, Bum the St Bernard Spaniel cross is from San Diego and San Diego is a twin city of Edinburgh apparently.
