That Friday Feeling /04 [+ a free download!]

I took this shot on our first and only night at the amazing Treebones glamping resort in Big Sur, California. Our yurt was overlooking the Pacific Ocean  – I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many stars! I made a little gif showing them twinkling to help recreate the magic of being there. As yesterday’s post mentioned, I’m still trying to hold on to the new year buzz, so this Ellie Goulding track has found its way back onto my playlist.

This starry night pic has also given me the opportunity to create my first ever freebie on the blog! I made desktop, iPad and iPhone wallpapers. Feel free to download them below.

    1. Thank you! Glad you like it 🙂

  6. i can’t download the twinkling and only able to get a picture not gift.. can you help me please?

    1. Hi Liv! The download is a still image, not a gif (sadly, a gif won’t work as a background on a computer or device – wouldn’t it be cool if it did though?). Hope that explains it!
