This is goodbye for a bit dear friends. Taking a summer holiday from Instagram. Back in August. Take care of yourselves! 🌿 #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Cherry blossoms. Still. Always. And forever. 🌸 Today's @thelittleplantation challenge theme is pink. Cherry blossom tea is just that. Delicate, feminine and my very favourite blushing shade of pink. #eatcaptureshare #sakura #cherryblossom #cherryblossomtea #sakuratea #teatime #teaglass #pinktea #tearitual #springtea #blossom #flowertea #floweringtea #pinkblossom #herbaltea #tisane #drinktea #drinkmoretea #foodphotography #drinkphotography #teaphotography #flowerphotography #floralphotography #dowhatyoulove #ihavethisthingwithflowers #alliseeispretty #firstweeat #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Going green for @thelittleplantation food photography challenge. When thinking green food, my first instinct is always pea soup. Pea soup with courgette and pear.. 🍐🥒 Served with toasted almonds. During winter I cook it with split peas so it's a little less green, but this time I went for fresh peas and added a pinch of turmeric for vibrance. Yet to test a chilled version of it.. 🤔 #eatcaptureshare #peasoup #greenpeasoup #greensoup #soup #vegansoup #greenpeas #gardenpeas #greenfood #goinggreen #eatyourveggies #seasonaleating #seasonalliving #lunchtime #foodstyling #foodphotography #moodyfoodphotography #dowhatyoulove #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

The first @thelittleplantation challenge week is coming to an end with a straight on shot. The initial plan was to photograph a stack of pancakes, and I did. So where are the pancakes one might ask?!? 😅 They didn't make the cut. I was so unhappy with how the background looked and as it wasn't an easy editing fix, I put on my chef's hat and came up with a plan B for this creamy chocolate and raspberry indulgence. The recipe will find it's way to the blog sooner or later.. 👩‍🍳 It's been so much fun scrolling through the #eatcaptureshare hashtag feed to see how the other challenge participants have interpreted the themes. Learning something new every day! 🎉 #chocolate #raspberry #cocoa #cacao #cocoanibs #cocoapowder #dessert #eatmoredessert #desserttime #dessertcourse #dessertlover #chocolateaddict #chocoholic #sweettooth #sweettreat #indulgence #dessertphotography #foodphotography #moodyfoodphotography #darkfoodphotography #foodstyling #dowhatyoulove #firstweeat #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

***REVISED*** Hurrying to work in the bright blinding afternoon sun resulted in the wrong image file getting selected.. 😅 Oops! And the challenge continues. The challenge of eating lunch with one hand and taking photos with the other while keeping an eye on the clock so as not to be late for work. The challenge of a wannabe (food) photographer. There's absolutely nothing I don't love about this. The husband does occasionally complain about having to wait to eat dinner since I tend to lose myself in the moment when capturing edible scenes, looking for the most flattering angle and light that does justice to what's being served. As Kimberly (@thelittleplantation) said, it takes courage to put the fruits of our creative labour out there. It really does. Here's me being brave. Are you brave sometimes? 😊 On the plate linguine with wild garlic butter, courgette, chili, jalapeño, lime zest and juice and of course parmesan, the very best friend of any pasta.. 🍝 #eatcaptureshare #linguine #linguinepasta #pasta #pastalove #pastalover #aldente #lunch #lunchtime #summerlunch #seasonalflavors #seasonaleating #seasonalliving #homecooking #homecookedmeal #foodielife #foodstyling #foodstylingandphotography #foodphotography #moodyfoodphotography #wannabefoodphotographer #dowhatyoulove #firstweeat #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Experiments continue. I am taking part of the spring food photography challenge hosted by Kimberly Espinel, the super talented creative behind @thelittleplantation, for the very first time! 😊 Food styling intimidates me so this little nudge to step out of my comfort zone of flower/nature/garden/travel photography is warmly welcomed. Having more fun than I thought already! There are moments of course when all I see are flaws, but the important part is to focus on the learning curve, the process and the progress. I could not decide on the edit so decided to post two of my more favourable versions.. 📷 And let me introduce you to the star of the show - this here is a strawberry-rhubarb-rose dessert topped with rye crumble 🍓 The recipe will be up on the blog by the end of this week.. 😋 #eatcaptureshare #foodphotography #dessertphotography #moodyfoodphotography #strawberryrhubarbcrisp #strawberrycrisp #rhubarbcrisp #rhubarbcrumble #strawberrycrumble #strawberry #crumble #dessert #fromscratch #homemade #homebaking #seasonaleating #seasonalliving #eatmoredessert #foodflatlay #flatlaystyling #foodstyling #dowhatyoulove #firstweeat #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

The seasonal preset bundle is now available to download on the Fleur Rustique website (link in bio)! 🎉🎉🎉 Just a click away from being yours, no need to sign up for a newsletter or share personal details of any kind (unless you want to!) 😉 If you do give them a try, however, I would love love love to hear your thoughts, so a DM or an email would be received with sincere gratitude.. ✉ Sadly I didn't get round to posting the examples of the winter living preset. If I have time tonight, I'll add them in stories. And I have yet to figure out whether or not the presets work with the mobile version of Lightroom. Also, I did promise a giveaway, and it was planned to be announced today as well, but due to there never being enough hours in a day, it'll have to wait until tomorrow or the day after. Stay tuned my friend and thank you for being here! 🤗 #lightroom #lightroompresets #photoediting #seasonalliving #forestfloor #autumnleaves #cherryblossoms #butterfly #rosehip #plantlife #spring #summer #autumn #winter #garden #gardenmoments #nature #botany #helsinki #finland #finnishnature #naturephotography #flowerphotography #botanicalphotography #gardenphotography #dowhatyoulove #alliseeispretty #ihavethisthingwithgardens #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Bringing my feed back home has been something I've been postponing for weeks. In utter denial of reality, unwilling to let go of the dreamy Japan journey, holding on to every last detail of the memories as if they were a helium balloon eager to escape, have an adventure of their own.. But it's time. #birdcherry #birdcherrytree #birdcherryblossom #whiteflower #flower #fleur #whiteblossom #blossom #springblossom #bloom #naturalbeauty #botany #spring #garden #springgarden #happyplace #nature #gardenphotography #flowerphotography #floralphotography #botanicalphotography #dowhatyoulove #ihavethisthingwithflowers #moodyflowers #moodyflorals #flowerlover #flowermagic #flowernerd #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Lightbulb moments.. 💡 The fun and occasionally frustrating part about goal setting is figuring out the steps how to reach said goal(s). You know what it is that you want to achieve with all your heart, yet some days the path doesn't seem to take shape in your head. The navigation system needs a reboot. Or perhaps the answers are there but stressing about not knowing them blinds you. Isn't it so that solutions to complex puzzles, the so called eureka or aha moments happen when the mind is at rest. In a shower maybe? Or when gazing at the horizon, listening to the sounds of the world surrounding you.. How do you find the answers? #goalsetting #findingtheanswers #dreambig #planbig #lifechanges #allwehaveisnow #mindfulness #livingslow #ahamoment #yellowflowers #floweringtree #lightbulb #lightbulbmoment #spring #nature #arashiyama #kyoto #kyotoprefecture #japan #travelphotography #naturephotography #gardenphotography #dowhatyoulove #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Recharged, rested, inspired and motivated. Ready for the challenges of the new week. Ready to power through. Ready to work and ready to dream. Ready to live the dream.. 🎉 What did you do on the weekend? 🤗 #dontcallitadreamcallitaplan #ifyourdreamsdontscareyoutheyarentbigenough #livethedream #allwehaveisnow #livingslow #izakaya #japanesebar #eatery #wheretheressmoke #smoke #bicycle #facade #sidewalk #alley #smallstreet #street #streetview #streetsofkyoto #kyoto #kyotoprefecture #japan #travel #wander #explore #escape #travelphotography #streetphotography #urbanphotography #dowhatyoulove #fleurrustique

Since I'll be spending the next two days on the countryside, far-far away from my laptop, Wi-Fi connection and everyday worries, I have decided to do a social media detox.. See you all beautiful humans on Monday and have a lovely weekend! 🤗 #allwehaveisnow #livingslow #fridayfeeling #plumblossom #flower #fleur #pinkflower #blossom #pinkblossom #springblossom #naturalbeauty #nature #spring #kyoto #japan #travelphotography #flowerphotography #floralphotography #naturephotography #botanicalphotography #dowhatyoulove #ihavethisthingwithflowers #flowerlover #flowernerd #flowermagic #alliseeispretty #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

Hurrying to work this morning it seems I forgot to hit the button to save my caption.. oh well! 😅 Turns out the beautiful plaque tied to the tree is a warning sign that says "be careful, mind your head", however, @carina.svenheden 's tree poem suggestion gave me a brilliant idea - why don't you write a caption for this post? What would the tree be saying? 🌳 #kanji #japanese #tree #treepoem #treepoetry #everydaypoetry #itsasign #becareful #mindyourhead #allwehaveisnow #mindfulness #livingslow #nature #arashiyama #kyotoprefecture #japan #travelphotography #naturephotography #dowhatyoulove #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique

The inbetween time, the season of neither here nor there, the tail end of winter or nose of spring is finally coming to an end in Finland. The signs of life in nature are becoming more and more evident with each passing day and therefore the motivation to wipe the dust off my camera and clear out the cobwebs from the good old 35mm has found me again. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in the coming weeks my feed will be returning closer to home. Some say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, somehow in northern Europe I believe it to be the nearing of midsummer. #camellia #flower #fleur #whiteflower #blossom #whiteblossom #naturalbeauty #plantlife #spring #nature #kyoto #kyotoprefecture #japan #travelphotography #flowerphotography #floralphotography #naturephotography #botanicalphotography #ihavethisthingwithflowers #flowerlover #flowermagic #flowernerd #dowhatyoulove #lifeisafleur #fleurrustique
