The Birds of Siesta Key Beach, Florida

The USA's #1 beach in 2015 definitely lived up to it title. A beautiful beach with sand made from Quartz meant that it was white and powdery. Quartz also has low heat conductivity allowing for the sand to keep cool, even in the hottest of Florida's weather - it's lovely that your bare feet never have to experience that pain of having to hop along the beach! Despite the practicality, sunsets and all round beauty of the beach, the thing that I've decided to post is the birds. There are pelicans that frequently dive into the sea as well as countless seagulls and sandpipers. I took many a photo of the animals - here are a few of them:

Dance Photoshoot

This weekend I went to Bushy Park with my friend Poppy , we received quite a few inquisitive looks from passers by, but I got some photos I'm happy with...

London Cat Village

Okay this post is just an excuse to post a load of photos of cute cats. This weekend I visited the London Cat Village in Shoreditch and enjoyed a delicious slice of cake as well! I would definitely recommend, if you get the chance, going to this adorable place. Anyway here the photos, enjoy:

St Dunstan in the East Church Gardens

St-Dunstan-in-the-East is an old, Church of England church situated halfway between London Bridge and the Tower of London. It was destroyed in the blitz of WWII and its ruins have been converted into a public garden. The church started out in the 12th Century, but was then damaged alongside the rest of the city in 1666 in the Great Fire of London. After several renovations including a new steeple designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the church was destroyed in 1941 during the Blitz of WWII. The beautiful remains of the church have now been turned into equally a beautiful garden. The greenery wonderfully juxtaposes with the gothic architecture producing a feel of The Secret Garden; which is what it effectively is as a garden tucked behind modern skyscrapers. A gem of London and well worth the visit.
