The hostel we stayed was almost right next to Edinburgh Castle! You can actually see the castle in the bottom right corner.

Edinburgh Castle. It’s so old and so big. We have spent 5 hours exploring it!

Standing in the heart of Edinburgh! 🙂

The Sir Walter Scott monument. Definitely my favorite monument in Edinburgh.

A bagpipe player. You see and hear them everywhere and all day!

Buildings of the castle.

Cathedral of the castle

A view of Edinburgh.

At Loch Ness! I really have fallen in love with this beautiful lake! ❤

It’s so calming and peaceful.

Didn’t see Nessie though! 🙂

The Highlands of Scotland. Just breathtaking!

Relaxing and enjoying the view

Spent a lovely day with my friend Brian!

Climbing all the way to the top of Arthur’s Seat!

Made it! 🙂

On the top of Arthur’s Seat. That’s a long way down!

With the love of my life on the edge of the world! ❤

In the Elephant House. J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter in this café. 🙂

Photo shoot: My nephews!

On the 4th of July, my big sister turned 50!

Reason enough to give her something very special.

My nephews decided to give their mother something she wanted for a long time: A nice photo shoot of her three handsome sons.

So, on a Sunday morning at 8 am (omg!), my nephews and I went to the nearby park to make the photos.

I think they turned out great! 🙂

My sister was very happy and emotional. It was the best gift her boys could have given her!

These are a couple of the photos, hope you like them!

Lots of love

Photo Shoot: Orange!

Today will be the start of the World Championship of soccer. 🙂

In Holland we adore soccer, especially when it’s the World Championship or the European Championship.

These weeks Holland will be colored Orange to support our players. We will watch soccer together, have soccer parties and celebrate big time when our country manages to win a game.

Why orange you ask? Because it’s the last name of our royal family, ‘van Oranje’ what means from Orange.

I am really looking forward to the World Championship, not only because I love soccer but also because I love the fun times that goes with it.

Here are a couple of photos to show you guys what I mean.

When walking through my neighborhood, you will see a lot of houses and streets decorated wit orange to show support to the national team.

Of course there will also be a lot of flags hanging above the streets. Mainly our own red, white and blue, but also of the country hosting the championship.

Orange everywhere!

Even inside the houses there are a lot of decorations.

The Dutch lion appears on a lot of decorations. It’s our national weapon. As you can see, we have our own all orange little lion! 🙂

Wearing the color with pride! 🙂

Photo Shoot: Photo Shoot! :)

Hey everyone! 🙂

Hope you are all doing well on this fine Sunday!

Most of you know by now that I model for my own artwork, so I thought it would be fun to show you all how a photo shoot goes.

This time, I got lucky because my cousin Sheryl —>http://strongwordshavepower.wordpress.com/ was available to do the photo shoot with me. This saves a lot of work, because we could take turns modeling and shooting. 🙂

And it’s more fun to do it with someone than all by your lonesome!

Anyway, we dressed up for the shoot, took the camera (Nikon D3100 Lens: AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm VR)

 and drove to a nice little park.

It was very cold, but the sun was shining so we had to take our chance.

You ready? Lets go! 🙂

 Like I said, it was cold! So, in between the shoots I slipped into my winter jacket whenever I could!

When the trees get their leaves back, it’s the perfect time to shoot some pictures. I really adore those little white flowers!

I love to take photos of my pretty cousin! 🙂

(Also, it’s kinda funny to see her grinding her teeth because of the cold while comfortably taking photos wearing my lovely jacket!) 😉

While we are at the park, I always take some stock photos. I can use them as a background when I’m forced by the weather to take shots indoor.

Modeling isn’t as easy as it looks! Just try chilling against a tree above the water standing on heels while your shoes want to slip into the mud all the time! 🙂

Sheryl has to keep her hair up in between the shoots because the wind will make a mess out of it otherwise! 

Modeling for a photo shoot takes a bit of acting as well. The grass is wet and it’s very cold. But I’m acting like I’m just totally comfortable dreaming away. 😉

It’s very hard to keep up the act all the time. We have a lot of fun taking these shoots. Sheryl couldn’t help laughing out loud.

I am not walking through the park for hours wearing my heels you know! Switching shoes in between the shoots. 😉

Of course not all of the photos you take are usable. But sometimes you get a perfect shot like this one.

I am always having a lot of fun with my silly mind when taking a shoot. Like when people walk by and look at you like they want to say: ‘What in the world are you doing?’ My mind just goes like: ‘Me? O, nothing much. I am just really digging this tree!’ 🙂

I hope you all liked this little tour! Now I am off to edit these photos! 🙂

Lots of Love,

Patty

Photo Shoot: Waterfalls

O how I adore waterfalls! 🙂

They are so beautiful and go from a calm, dripping little thing to a raw, powerful force!

Here are some photos I took in Turkey and Thailand.

Hope you like them!

Lots of love
