A Walk in the Park



Me and baby Aila whilst waiting for the bikes to be pumped up


 On Sunday 2nd April 2023, my family and I decided to go for a lovely walk at a nearby park. 

In the morning, I had badminton club for 2 hours (from 10am - 12 noon) and we played doubles matches for the whole time as it was the last lesson before Easter break. It was a lot of fun!

In the afternoon, my brother and my sister wanted to go cycling so we all decided go get some fresh air as well. 

The bikes' tyres were quite flat so we had to pump them up again. After the tyres were pumped, we set off.
The walk wasn't that long to get to the park (of course Hana and Hakeem were a lot quicker as they went on their bikes...). 
When we got there, I noticed how beautiful the willow trees were and I decided to take some photos!

An attempt of a setting description for this park:

The sky was clear, as clear as my thoughts in that moment, as clear as a painter's blank canvas and as clear as the tune that sung melodically through the tiny speakers of the wireless earbuds I was wearing. Not a trace of the white wisps disturbed the flawless sky. A path of grey snaked throughout the park, guiding my feet to where I was supposed to go. Shy willow trees were dotted around ther area, their long, bent branches swaying ever-so-gently to the wind's song: a song that could only be heard by them. Their looming, tall form casted enlarged shadows of darkness whilst rays of sunshine penetreted the gaps between leaves, causing a mixture of light and dark to show upon the soft, velvet-like grass. 

Hoped you like it (I needed to practise for English end-of-year exams anyways...)

👈 What do you think of this photo? I quite like the lighting on this one, it makes it look quite dramatic.
Let me know your thoughts of my photos in the comments!
I just used my phone to capture these amazing trees. Believe it or not, I didn't use any filter! I am still quite surprised that my phone camera could take such beautiful photos (it usually isn't so good at capturing food or other things). I quite like the mysterious white 'glow' around the willows.
The willow tree branches were quite bendy. I remember one time I went to that park, I took some of the fallen branches on the floow are I weaved it into a cute nature crown for my sister!

This photo was one of my personal favourites
 
After admiring the awesome trees, we came across a magnificent sakura tree/cherry blossom. It was so pretty, there was no way we couldn't leave without taking a photo.

I really thought this tree came straight out of an anime, it was super delightful (I am really running out of synonyms for beautiful...).
I might set this photo as my wallpaper one day! 👉

I just love how the light catches the tree and how some areas are light and some are dark, it really adds depth to the photo and it reminds me of clouds (even when there were none in the sky at that present moment). What do you like most about this photo?

I had a very relaxing time at the park! Hope you guys can go on some amazing walks as well, remember not to overwork yourselves and to take some time to go out for a bit, even if it is only for ten minutes.

Bye for now! 💖

My book review

Image
A few weeks ago, I created a book review on request for it to be posted on a magazine . I chose to do it on the Boy of the Back of the Class. Here is my review.↓ Introduction The Boy At the Back Of the Class is a great book by Onjali Q. Rauf because it reveals the hardship of people escaping the war in Syria and a strong connection between two people. Summary A refugee boy came to a school where the narrator and her best friends go to. The narrator became friends with Ahmet (the refugee boy) and Brendan-the-bully was being mean to him so they had a fight. Ahmet won and so Brendan got revenge by putting a can of baked beans into Ahmet’s red bag. He tries to wash it off but the smells and stains stayed. The narrator learned more about Ahmet’s background story and how he got into the school and country. Ahmet and his family were running from a war in Syria and they all got separated. Unfortunately, Ahmet’s cat died whilst going on a boat to Greece. They had to move to many differe

Making Harry Potter Monopoly

Image
Me with the game Two days ago, my mum had a fantastic idea to create our own Harry Potter Monopoly to play as a family. 😀We printed the paper for the board that I cut it out extra carefully. The next day, we got some unused cardboard and turned it into the gameboard. We printed the money and the title deed cards and cut them using the slicer. We used a recycled box to make the place to put the game and figures inside. Then, we printed the bottom for the box and stuck it on. After that, we wanted to print the top of the box but we unfortunately had no ink left!😞 At night, after we had iftar and salah, we played the Monopoly and it was AMAZING!!! We all were so into the game that we played until midnight!😅A few days later, the ink finally arrived and we printed the top of the box to complete everything. The game turned out to be spectacular. Instead of regular chance cards and chest community, there were potions and spell cards. E.g. One of the potions cards said to go directly

Pizza Pizza

Image
Today, my mum suggested my sister and I make 3 mini pizzas for lunch. She also asked my brother to make brownies with her. We all woke up and opened our home school (I knew that I would have a lot of fun today because we had so much fun yesterday).  I decided to draw a greyscale (black and white), shaded picture of my blue, metallic hydroflask. I think it looks very realistic. Share what you think of my drawing in the comments. After that, my sister and I made the pizzas. Me with my drawing. I had to be very careful with the shading and I really did not want a single line out of place because I want it to look neat. I also put the shadow of my bottle to make it look even more realistic. Instructions to make a mini pizza Serves one person. 1.First, preheat the oven to gas mark 5. 2.Second, mix in a cup of flour with a half-cup of water (ratio from flour to water is 2:1). 3.Flour your surface and knead the dough on that surface.
