Decorated hands

Image

Its still wedding season for a lot of people so I thought I’d share a photo of a bride’s hands which in typical South Asian and Middle Eastern culture are decorated with Henna.

I love taking photos at this time of day as the effects achieved always look so magical. In this photo I really like how the water seems to glimmer and draws you eye across to the cliffs. What do others think of taking photos at this time of day and are there any tips that you’d like to share?

Aubergine flower

Image

This pretty flower belongs to the aubergine plant, also known as eggplant, once the petals fall off the vegetable grows in its place. We have had several from my mum’s garden this summer

Looking up

This is my sister’s outfit that she wore to her mehndi/henna party. I thought I’d try taking a picture from a different angle to see what it looks like – I quite like the effect, especially as there is lots of details and various colours

Fancy cupcakes

Image

I think the colour of these cupcakes are quite unusual, but well work well together. They look and were delicious (if I remember rightly)

Ramadan Mubarak 2013/1434

Image

I wish all Muslims Ramadan Kareem. May we all make the most of this blessed month and find peace of heart, mind, body and soul. And to everyone else, God bless you and have a nice day!

Pink and yellow Gazania

Image

I think these flowers are really pretty, they remind me of daisies but in brighter colours. This one hasn’t quite unfolded its petals yet but I think it creates a striking effect

Squirrel monkey

Image

I recently went to Woburn Safari park and one of the animals I saw was the squirrel monkey, which are really small and pretty cute. These ones were really timid and open for people to pet and get quite close to. They did seem to have quite sad faces though, which started making me think twice about having animimals in zoos, but at least Woburn is a safari park and does allow animals more space and freedom than city zoos, and it does genuinley seems to care for them.
