wrapped up in blankets and books

“she wanted—what some people want throughout life—a grief that should deeply touch her, 

and thus humanize and make her capable of sympathy.”

(books: the scarlet letter & howards end)

i've spent the better half of the past week sick in bed
covered in layers of cotton and wool,
sneezing and drinking lots of tea.
also reading. a lot.


i really wish for the flu to go away,
but i cannot deny that, while sickly and annoyed,
this little time off work has been quite great.



new film photos as soon as i'm week enough to go to the lab!



have a wonderful day,

♥

first days of autumn

"autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” 
― albert camus

march, 2015.

as you may probably noticed, i've cheated and these are digital.
actually, they're ipod-vscocam-digital, so sorry about that :3
i'm still in the middle of a work storm
but autumn arrived and i just had to get out and capture it
if only in digital form on a super quick stroll around my neighbourhood.
because it is, after all, my favourite of all seasons.

there's something about autumn light i love so much
and all those different shades of green-yellow-gold
and the sound the leaves make when you walk
and, even when days get slowly colder, the general warmness of it all.
it's like the world becomes tinted with cinnamon and honey
and it even smells like it.


hope you're all having a wonderful day
and a happy start of the spring to all my darling northern hemisphere girls
i know you've all been eagerly waiting for the flowers to be in bloom once again
