Self Growth

I love the contrast of the legs and the root of a tree. Very nice! good idea！

I like the 'vein' detail on your hands, adds to the merge of you and the tree

You really captured emotion on your face. Wonderful! --

Love that part ...awesome work

I LOVE this Sleepy Hollow-esque, misty background.

And how your body seems to fade into the tree around the edges is amazing.

love that mist there!

I love the colour in this photo

i agree!!

it looks like the tree is grabbing for you and dragging you in.

OOH! The earring was a nice addition! Absolutely breathtaking.

beautiful!

when i first saw this i thought it was a small rodent but then i realised it was a pile of leaves! :S

Love you expression!

You look liken your legs are turning into the tree its very very good

I like how the branches are reaching out for her.

looks like you're dissapering (forgive my english...)

Today is my 7month 365 anniversary!! And my day 200!! I am over half way through now, how crazy! The past 7 months has changed so much for me - I am so happy. Not that I wasn't before, no way, but everything has become so clear and I feel like I've found my purpose: To be happy with the one I love doing what I love.

7months from now, I will be making the biggest change in my life. I'll be moving to America to chase my dreams, and it feels INSANE. I was thinking the other day, if I had known this would be my last year in england, I wish I would have done something to remember it by. Then I realized... duh, 365. And if it wasn't for 365 and flickr, I might not have met my Aaron, the whole reason I am going to move. Crazy, huh!

This photoshoot was horrible. It was raining all the way through, I got so muddy you would not believe! The tree is right by my old high school, and just as I started shooting the school bell went and out poured a million teenagers - awesome! ;)

Our Blog!!! for a before, during and after on this shot.

On black for Sarawthouttheh! :)

This is gorgeous and the processing is insane. I love it so much and I really hope to see a before and after on this one.
It seems like a really fun shoot, but then again, I love playing in the mud, so if that's not your thing then I suppose it isn't too pleasant.

But the lighting in this is great, and I love the mist in the background. It's perfect. So impressive and very well done

This is great! Although I may not comment all the time, I'm always stopping by for inspiration and I love the joy and happiness that I can feel when I view your images and read about your journey with Aaron. The 365 is a great way to remember England by...it all came together for you! Congrats and wishes for a long and happy life in American filled with lots and lots of love and passion!

What an amazing artistic shot! I love it. Your journey reminds me of a quote from Joseph Campbell: "... where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world." Good luck on your life adventures and your new life with Aaron in America.
