Spring is drawing to a close here in the UK. Although summer hasn't quite approached yet, the London weather has been relatively considerate these last couple of days, drizzling the city with a tad more sunshine than what can (usually) be expected at this time of year.
After spending about 40 minutes hovering around the playground, I took some photos of plants in the residential areas across the street.

Yesterday afternoon, the sky was looking particularly radiant, so I decided to head outside with my Nikon in hand. My plan was to walk to Primrose Hill, take a few photos there, and spend the next two hours reading on a bench under the shade of an oak tree. Needless to say, I immediately got sidetracked as soon as I stepped out of the house.

Then, I went to a local children's playground. Yep, I know, a weird choice of location for a teenage amateur photographer. But there were some gorgeous flowers in the planter troughs nearby.

On my way back home, I managed to make a new friend.
oh hello there!
Well, I certainly didn't spend the sunny afternoon idly poring over The Time Traveller's Wife as I had anticipated, but I ended up doing something that was just as eventful, if not more.all photos shown in this post are taken by me // copyright © 2016 jessica ji | all rights reserved
