Green days are always my favourite, because I find a certain peace in their natural atmosphere. So I was ecstatic to get to spend a chunk of my time today exploring the vast opportunities within Kew Gardens. Throughout many of the conservatories, my appreciation for plants was well known as I constantly explored every inch of the greenery filled buildings until there was no plant I hadn’t gaped at. I didn’t have to go far to find some wondrous views, as the first breathtaking moment I had was in the Princess of Wales conservatory, walking underneath a canopy of orchids.
Having the plants hang down right above me seemed like I was in a dream, walking through a tunnel of flowers. It was an amazing experience introduced to that space in such a way that it quickly became one of my favorites. However, once again my bias towards my family’s culture came into play as I made my way over to the Japanese gateway. I immediately was taken with the zen landscape created around the gateway. I’ve always been a fan of zen gardens, and this was no exception. I’ve actually got one small zen garden in my dorm, and one I have formally resting in my living room back home. 
After some exciting moments of pictures, we went to leave and this little buddy came right up and posed for us. Not wanting to disappoint, I took on the temporary job of professional photographer for this model:
He was my favourite client to work with.
Today however, was not as nice weather-wise as the previous day, missing the sun and loathing the clouds a bit more. Especially as most of us were in dresses for the tea, we had a tough time ignoring the cold. However, a team always sticks together and we chose to stick together, LITERALLY, and create a huddle when outside.
Fortunately, we soon made it to the London eye and we were rewarded with both warmth AND a fantastic view. Blocka Flocka Flame brought more warmth to the table when we all got together and took a fire photo.
At the end of the day, good memories were made and the feeling of being cold just melts away.
At first I could not believe you found a peacock and than I thought,”it’s melissa! Of course she found one!” I also appreciate greens days!! Haha I think we talked about green revolutions together 😉 Blocka Flocka Flame Forever United!
