I wanted to photograph Lilya in her new coat. I messed it up royally (my fault for being too lazy to test the enlarged pattern) and it's horrible, but I hid most of the bad parts in the photos, so it looks okay, I guess. I'd completely re-do the sleeves but I used the last of the fabric for this so I can't. =__= I'll be making her a red coat next, but I should finish making two for sale first.

I went quite far for these photos. Well, the spot's only 900m from my house, but since I can't fly and have to use the roads, the trip ended up as 2.2km... uphill. I cycled pretty close and then left my bike at the junction of the trails and then walked the rest of the way. That trip really took everything I had out of me. I was SO exhausted I almost turned right back but decided to go for it anyway. I got most of my energy back during the photo session and then the way back was all downhill so it was much nicer, haha.
One of these days, I'm gonna have to see if I can get to this place through the forest by foot, which would cut the distance by a bit. It all depends on if the two paths I'm thinking of meet somewhere. There's a lot of forest and a lot of paths out in this area and it's easy to get lost, but luckily there's GPS. (Good, cause I wouldn't have found this place otherwise, it's been a few years since I'd been here).

Posting the rest of these to my blog at some point.
