Last Sunday I went out for my daily exercise and found myself snapping away at nature with the camera. The usually busy streets empty. Busy with blossoms and nature showing her true colours.  I set out with a book in my pocket and my soul in need of revival. Lockdown hasn’t been easy if I’m honest I’ve found it hard.  I needed a break. It wasn't far from home, but it was enough. I explored nature and fell in love with photography again.
I took a book out with me, I usually take a notebook but I have been trying to read more recently. I have been buying new books to be delivered and they have been contributing to my dissertation as well as my personal reading. I am trying to use books to go places if that makes sense?
The world is in a bizarre moment and sometimes it is difficult to understand and feel okay. These times are not normal so trying to make a normal can be challenging. Everyone is using this time for themselves and doing different things, myself I have been trying to take comfort in my books. Majority of which is in my student house and I could only bring dissertation books back home with me. With good old Amazon, kindle and audiobooks I have been trying to keep up with reading. I am working on some book reviews too, which I am excited to show you. Books have been the thing I am clinging to during this pandemic. What have you been doing to cope?

Books and Blossoms

This afternoon I decided to go on a walk, admittedly it was to check out the new Pokemon GO event, which I am currently living for. Along the way I took pictures and actually enjoyed my surroundings. I don't think I have ever appreciated Autumn as much as I did today. It was inspiring and I loved being amongst the autumnal colours and it most refreshing. My walk inspired me to write a poem, as I was walking I was piecing it together in  my head, it wasn't set out to be a poem just a thought process but then when I returned home with many more Pokemon, I sculpted it together and below you have my poem alongside a very gorgeous picture I took today.




I fell in love today

With the patchy sky so grey 
Soggy leaves beneath my feet 🍁🍃
They beam at me with autumnal thoughts 
The trees above me🌳
Losing their leaves🍂
As I'm gaining my faith
Stepping through the autumn🍃🍂🍁
It's cold outside
But the colours warm me
Orange Greens and yellows 🍁🍂🍃
Welcoming passing ivory 
I fell in love today...
