I'm an avid photographer and love taking photos of pretty much everything that grabs my attention. I also love sharing what I see with other people.

It's April and here in Europe that means we're getting ready for summer. Whether it's warm outside or not doesn't matter - we're unpacking our summer clothes, anticipating fun trips to the beach and doing the spring cleaning. To celebrate the season, here's a photo I took recently. @Nimavenl
