There are sometimes such beautiful sights that it's hard to just walk by and ignore them - like a simple sunny reflection of the sky in the lake. I think we're all guilty of forgetting to appreciate the small and simple beauties in life when we're all so busy commuting, planning, working. It takes a while to step back and relax.

I received a sample scarf from the new Laura Orchant collection for a post which I had written on colour accessories, but whilst it's still with me I thought I'd try it out with a couple of styles - and I found it really worked with heritage as well as city chic. The colours and the print of the scarf make a beautiful pattern when it blows in the wind and catches the sun, almost like a stained glass window!

I got distracted halfway through because a cute little duck swam up to us and I felt horribly guilty that I didn't have any bread to feed it with, so I've got a debt to pay to this little chick when I go back to the lake! I found that birds are very inquisitive when we take pictures by the lake, last shoot we did we met a little swan which was mega cute but his parents were terrifying, big and fast.

Anyway, I hope that all my readers take the time to find beauty in everyday and let me know what that was today in the comments below!
