Setting my alarm for 3:45am you’d be right to presume I was
either 1. jetting off to a tropical island, 2. on a VERY early shift at work or
3. just darn crazy. And well my friends, I have to say I believe most will think
3 is best suited to this story. The reason I was actually rising before the
birds were chirping was in search of a sunrise.
Let’s just say I have this
thing for sunrises. In fact, I have a thing for that big yellow ball in
general. I’m basically obsessed with everything the sun brings into my life.
Warmth on my skin, BBQs in the garden, day trips to the beach, happy faces
EVERYWHERE and of course picturesque sunsets. But one aspect of the sun that I
rarely get to enjoy is the sunrise. Not because I love lazy mornings in my bed
(quite the contrary actually) but because most people around me love a lie in.
So after much persuasion I managed to convince my bed-loving boyfriend to join
me in an early morning adventure to catch the sunrise.
After throwing on our clothes,
and a quick brush of the teeth, we were on the road to Loch Lomond. We thought
we might’ve missed the beginning of the sunrise but after choosing a spot on
the loch that was surrounded by hills, we had plenty of time to spare. Before
we knew it the sun was peering above the hills, instantly warming up the pretty
baltic morning (I swear, it was about 2 degrees!). We then walked along the
pier and really soaked up our surroundings before returning home for a warm
breakfast in bed.
I love how the images turned
out and think they really capture the magic of a peaceful morning. This isn’t
my typical style of blog post but I really loved trying to capture beautiful pictures
as opposed to just an outfit or event.
I really love the pictures and hope you do too so let me know if you would like to see more of this style of post.
It looks like the sun is beginning to peek through the clouds for another scorcher of a day in Glasgow. I seriously can't get over how lucky we've been with the weather over the last two weeks. It just makes ALL the difference. Long may it continue!
Happy sunny Saturday folks!
XoXo
