Sea Life Aquarium in Balloch

So this week has been spent mainly relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, doing a little shopping and also going out and about exploring. 

One such exploration was to Balloch where we went to the Sea Life Centre on the shores of Loch Lomond. 
The weather was perfect for a stroll, and an ice-cream afterwards!

As you know,wherever I roam, my camera usually comes with me. This trip was no exception. Balloch itself is around 45 minutes from Glasgow on the train and is a lovely place to visit on its own merit. You can go on a cruise of the loch fairly cheaply, and there are plenty of nice eateries if you get peckish. The main reason we went though, was the Sea Life Centre. 

I knew there would be plenty of opportunities to expand my collection of images and I was not disappointed with the results. I will be sure to use these images in the future. Here is a small snippet of what I managed to capture- quite pleased with the results, and this was without using a flash. Looking quite professional, even if I do say so myself!

Loch Goil, Scotland

After a break of around a year, I have decided that I should definitely be more active on my blog, even if it is only once or twice a month! I have finally got a job where I have free time, and I have decided to make the use of this time by being creative again. I have had a lot of ideas to put out here, such as tutorials, crafty reviews and new designs- so watch this space!

I recently used some of my new-found free time to take a trip to one of my favourite locations in Scotland- Loch Goilhead.  While there for the weekend, the weather was, as usual, changeable but this allowed for some beautiful photos. As you can see, the moody sky changed frequently and the difference in lighting created some nice contrasts. I have only shared a small amount of these but they were all taken on the same day!
