Behind my apartment is a large park but i like calling it my backyard.
It's beautiful and quiet. Not that many people know about it. I can't begin to express the joy of discovering this new land. When i'm there it feels like i'm on holiday....i go walking around and 1.5hrs goes by but it feels like only 15mins has gone by to me. It's exactly what i need to destress from the days work sitting in front of the computer all day. I go there with my cousins and they have a blast...filming documentaries with their digital camera...it's really quite cute.

Going into my backyard I've realized how much I miss nature. Being in the city for so long and being a full-time worker really turns you into a zombie sometimes. My love of nature was really instilled in me through my dad who LOVES bird watching, taking ridiculous amounts of photos of trees and landscapes (all film...it used to drive my mum insane) and CAMPING! oh i miss camping! If i had a car I would go all the time.

That said, I'm looking forward to see how my backyard will look when it grows its leaves.
Here are some pictures I took on one of our journeys...
