Instagram Diary 02

I was planning on getting this posted on Sunday (my usual posting day) but I didn't quite have time to finish it off as I spent the weekend visiting a friend in the Lake District - post coming soon. Here's some of the photos I've posted to Instagram lately, you can find more on my profile here.

Back to adding some more wildlife photography to my Instagram here are some winter photos of (left) a Robin in the Lake District from a while ago and (right) a Great Tit in the woods close to my home. The cacti in the centre are starting to grow at last and they look so pretty.

My most worn nail polish through January had to be this purple shade by Maybelline, it's such a great autumn/winter shade. These boots from London Rebel (asos) are amazing, I love getting new shoes and they're surprisingly easier to walk in than I imagined. I love sunsets and the way the sky changes colour, it's so lovely to watch.

When in B&Q I have to go and check out the plant section and once I thought this cactus looked like Mickey Mouse there was no way I could leave it there. A photo of a Dunnock which aren't that easy to photograph, they move so quickly. My monthly favourites for January, you can read more about those here.

 I've seen a lot about the PS (Primark) false nails lately so I bought some to try, although I've not tried them out just yet. A pretty starling posing out in the garden last week, And a throwback photo to strolling around London last year, this was taken in Neal's Yard in Covent Garden.

These three photos were taken this last weekend when I visited the Lake District (post coming soon). The first photo was taken at the top of Gummer's How (I was very worn out by the time I reached the top). The second was taken at the Lakes Aquarium which I thought was cute as I managed to capture what looks like the cast of Finding Nemo/Dory. And finally my latest snap is of Postman Pat's post office in Kendal. It's no longer a post office but it was still a cute little feature to see and read about where the author got some of his inspiration for the tv series from.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Instagram Diary 01

It's been a long long time since I last posted an Instagram post here on my blog and I feel that my Instagram has changed a lot since then and still is changing. I've never really had a theme with my Instagram but from the New Year I decided I wanted to improve my photography (in-particular my photos of wildlife) and share more of it with you. So here are the photos I uploaded to Instagram over the last couple of weeks. If I keep up with posting on Instagram regularly these 'Diary' type posts may be regular too. If you don't already follow me you can do so here.

An Oyster Catcher by the sea at Culzean Castle in Scotland from the Summer. A lovely candle holder by Yankee Candle which a friend bought me for Christmas - it's so pretty. As part of my aim to post more wildlife photos, here's a photo from the lake district a couple of years ago of a posing Mallard.

 If you follow me on Instagram already you'll probably know I love a sunset and this one was taken on a winter walk around the woods a couple of weeks ago. Another throwback to the lake district with a photo of these Canada Geese as I booked tickets to go and visit a friend in the lakes in a few weeks time and on one of my visits there before I got chased by these Geese wanting some more food. NYX are fast becoming one of my favourite makeup brands, this soft matte lip cream is one of my favourite pieces so far.

On another winter walk last week I managed to get some more photographs of wildlife, one bird which I'd never seen before was this Nuthatch. Finally getting around to paint my nails for the first time in a while, I went for a Tanya Burr nail polish in 'Little Duck' and attempted a bit of nail art too.
