Raindrops and Blossom.

What an odd yet mundane day.

I woke up having had a strange dream about travelling to Africa and becoming very fond of one of the girls I met there. I recently decided that next summer I want to travel, and with a bit of luck I will soon send my passport off.

When I opened the curtains, I was surprised and somewhat dismayed to see that it was raining quite heavily. The wind was blowing the white blossom off of the tree near my window, peppering the glass with petals. One of the blossoms was heart-shaped, and I kept thinking to myself 'I should take a photo of that before it falls off or is blown away'. I put it off for a few hours before getting my camera, and, sure enough, it had moved ever so slightly, ruining the heart-shape. I reached my arm out of the window before taking some macro shots. Sadly I have misplaced my camera lead so I'm not sure when my new photos will be making their appearance on here.

I am back in Guildford for the final semester of my first undergraduate year. It has been good in so many ways and bad in others, but on the whole the good prevails. I definitely feel more creative; I just struggle to put my ideas down on paper. I took a fair few photos when I was home last, and have a few ideas for poems.

I would really like to take some grainy photos, ones that appear older than they are. If anyone can suggest a camera that I could buy or some software that would be great.

I don't have much else to say, words seem to be escaping me.
