[oldschool] break the silence

some selected pictures I took a few years ago, when I studied photography.
sorry for the long silence.
things are not going to get any better over the coming months I'm afraid. 
but I promise I'll make up lost time this summer.  

I also wanted to let you know this blog is now on Twitter: @highly_beloved   
so whatever happens to Google Reader, if you still want to get my updates, it will now be that way.

how to sum up 1 year in 12 pictures...
I can't even realize it's been one year already. when I decided to create this blog last year, facing my life lost and hopeless, I saw it as a temporary escape.  
now I'm back at the university and can't find the time for this blog as much as I would like. (it is soon going to be 'mobile uploads' posts only, I'm afraid!) and I still feel so lost.
thank you all for your oh so lovely comments which always comfort me in those doubt moments. <3

so here are 12 snapshots I chose from my sweet strollings across France and England, visiting gorgeous gardens, discovering secret places in Paris, enjoying the sun.   

 couldn't resist a 13th...

cold january snow

You see, before he came down here, it never snowed.

[oldschool] it's always darkest before the storm

no there ain't no darkness that i fear

 the world's a small child in the dark

 storms make trees take deeper roots


all of my fears came true

Wishing you all the best for the new year though...

the sweet escape [part 4]

End of my lovely wanders through the pretty landscapes of the North.
Seeing these soft hills, these red bricks houses surrounded with flowers, these peaceful cows gently strolling in the fields, reminded me of how much I miss Belgium.
Where I spent some of the sweetest days of my childhood, where my love for gardens and flowers began.
