October Walks

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I might miss winter this year. I absolutely love summer but reading about the weather in the northern hemisphere makes me want to cosy up under layers of blankets with a hot chocolate and the fire blazing. All those autumn colours - in nature and in make up (I love a good berry lip) - are just so beautiful!

Today I went for a walk out in the meadow near my house, and although it was a bit miserable, it was still lovely. I took one of the dogs with me for company and ventured out into the cool evening for a quick stroll. The grass was a bit damp so on the boots went. It was short as the rain came in quick after a couple of laps of the meadow, but I still managed a good twenty minutes. I'm sure the dog loved it, too.

I love how the rays of the sun are coming through the clouds here. Rolling fields and grassy hills make for a wonderful background.

I took this photo just as the rain started coming in. I thought to myself, Oh look how beautiful it is with the rain coming nearer, and only half a second later it started spitting down on me. There was a proper downpour only a minute later! Unfortunately, that was not quite enough time for me to get back home.

Mount Wellington in the background, and my gorgeous dog running around happily.

On the subject of seasons, I really am looking forward to summer. Some of the things I'm most excited for:

• I graduate high school!
• Christmas
• Being able to wear little clothing and not freeze
• Hot, sweaty days
• Trips to beaches and parks

I hope you enjoyed this post, feel free to comment! :)
