A Very Alice Photoshoot-my take on Alice in Wonderland

.

"I could listen to a babbling brook, And hear a song that I could understand, I keep wishing it could be that way, Because my world would be a wonderland..."

Last week I finally, finally got around to doing an Alice in Wonderland photo shoot-something I've been wanting to do for a very long time. On the spur of the moment I went and dug through some old dress up clothes, found a good headband, got my tripod, and went on a venture in my oh-so-muddy backyard *ahem*. Yes, very muddy.
.
Doing self photoshoots isn't very easy (although are sometimes necessary)...especially when your backyard is very muddy and you must go sloshing through thick mud each and every time you click the 10 second self timer for a new picture. Here's how it goes. You first make sure your camera is at just the right angle (which isn't easy with a half broken tripod...) and is in good focus. You press the click-ey button and the race is on through the sloshing mud and to your destination upon which you must look serene (or whatever emotion you're trying to capture in that photo...) and candid (generally you don't). Then you do this about a million more times until you get one decent photo (and you're lucky to get one). Then you move on to your next scene. And do it all over again.
.
By the time I was done my feet were soaked in mud, I had blisters on the backs of my feet (so I got to limp around everytime I wore shoes for the next few days), and my fingers were numb (it was cooold). But anyway, yes, I will spare all my readers from any further ranting and move on. Here are the photos!!! First I just had to have my fair share of ranting though... :P

I wanted the photos to look kind of dreary, mysterious, and dreamy...not sure if I achieved this or not.
. But, without further ado (I promise) here they are!
