Flipped - Movie Trailer!


I just watched a movie trailer for the new film Flipped and it looks amazing!




Finally, a simple down to earth romance story - with twinges of open honesty and buckets of well versed acting! I don't know about anyone else but I'm going to see this when it's released in August (if it comes to the UK).

Skywatch Friday Post




The Lake District, UK.


"Dear native brook! wild streamlet of the West!
How many various-fated years have passed...
Visions of childhood! oft have ye beguiled
Lone manhood`s cares, yet waking fondest sighs:
Ah! that once more I were a careless child!"
- To the River Otter, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I love everyone's pictures, they're great!

This picture was taken while on a walk with my dad and my uncle - we meandered along a river and ended the day with cake! :-) The sky was so alive though, it was almost tactile the way it held its own in your vision, against the hills and the trees. (Does that make sense?)
