Welcome to my August 1st Lensbaby Blog Circle post, which is a brief insight into the first few days of our annual family visit to Hungary.

My daughter and I arrived after midnight last Thursday, after a long, 26 hour trip (due to flight problems). Late morning on Friday we immediately headed to my brother’s weekend home by Lake Balaton. I took some pictures in his very nicely kept yard (his son was a great helper), at the lake in the morning, and some flowers during my walk. On Saturday we visited an adventure park near the city of Veszprém, where the cousins had a ton of fun playing together in a pond. We also visited another adventure park in Budapest on Tuesday. The following pictures were all taken with Lensbaby lenses, mostly with the Twist 60 and the Double glass. I hope you’ll enjoy a bit of European photography from me.

It was a rather grey, kind of boring morning at Lake Balaton, but I still wanted to include one image of it.

As I walked in a park close to the lookout I noticed thousands of tiny, flying insects. I don’t know what they were, but if you look at the next picture closely you’ll see lots of white spots in it – all insects. We were going to do some yoga practice in this area later in the day, but I really didn’t want to eat or breath in extra protein. 🙂

On the way home I noticed some interesting trees and flowers:

At the adventure park the kids played water games.

On Sunday we took a walk by the lake in Siófok, and found some pretty swans and ducks.

One of the tourist boats just left the harbor and ended up in my image.

The last four pictures were taken in Budapest at an adventure park. The kids enjoyed it very much. It’s a spot that we try to visit every year.
