Return from Paradise

Poolside Flora, Lautoka Hotel, Fiji

Leaves in the Light, Nausori Highlands, Fiji

I have recently returned home from a short trip to Fiji. My sister and her husband chose to be married over there and they had the most quintessential beach wedding (and honeymoon). As I was a bridesmaid, I didn't have the chance to snap too many pics on the day :( but I can't wait to see the professional photos when they emerge. Due to the overall schedule of the trip, there weren't copious opportunities to take photographs, but I tried to keep an eye out for interesting subject matter and managed to take some decent shots. I'm hoping that a few shots will make successful photographic cards for my market stall. Fiji is a beautiful country. I love the way in which any form of travel forces you to reflect, causing some kind of mindshift. It's because you're away from the humdrum and routine of everyday life. But I certainly haven't quite returned to reality yet! - Mel
