Lover's Island


Nature never stops surprising me! Look at this perfect heart-shaped island highlighted on Google Earth couple of years ago. Isn’t this amazing? This 13,000 square yard island of Galesnjak is located in Croatia, in Zadarski Kanal between Zadar and the Island of Pasman. Since the discovery of its unusual shape, it has become a holiday hit for St. Valentine’s Day. As a complex name of Galesnjak doesn’t easily roll of the tongue, lovebirds have renamed it Lover’s Island. It is believed to be the most perfect heart-shaped island in the world so far!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Spread love and appreciation today and every day!

Alternative to Sport Drinks

Mmm... When drinking coconut water last summer during my vacation in Cuba, I never realized how much good it was doing to me. Did you know that coconut water is high in potassium and relatively low in calories and is thought to be a good alternative to sports drinks? I just found this out! Coconut water is a fat free drink with only 15 calories per 100 grams! It is thought to be able to boost your immune system, break down kidney stones, fight viruses, and help digestive track.


Imagine, in the past people believed that coconut water cured headaches and other ailments. During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers. That’s the power of the coconut!

Pictured above, are my boyfriend’s hands pealing a coconut, so his girlfriend could enjoy it afterwards. And she truly did! Along with its healthy benefits, coconut water is very refreshing in a hot weather.

Make sure to have a sip of coconut water once in a while. It won’t harm!

Photography News: new Canon

Source: http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/canon-introduces-rebel-t3-and-t3i-at-599-and-799-2011027/

Almost exactly one year after Canon’s popular T2i was announced the company has unveiled two new EOS Digital Rebels, the T3i and the T3. The T3 will sell for $599 and will be Canon’s new entry level DSLR while the T3i will replace the T2i as Canon’s top consumer DSLR ($799 body only, $899 kit). The T2i will live on between the two, offering more features than the T3 but lacking some of the T3i’s perks.

And what’s new about the T3i? The main feature is a fold-out display, like that found on Canon’s prosumer 60D. There are also some new consumer-friendly features like a faux tilt-shift filter. The Feature Guide, a system for helping new users take advantage of DSLR features, is found on both cameras.

The T3i uses the same 18MP sensor and video modes as the T2i, so users with the older model shouldn’t feel much pressure to upgrade. The T3 shoots at 12MP and rather than shooting 1080p video, it takes 720p. It has a DIGIC 4 processor and a 9-point AF system.

The Canon EOS T3i DSLR will be available in the “beginning of March” and will be sold in three configurations: body-only $799.99; kit with the updated EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II zoom lens $899.99; and kit with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens $1099.00. The Rebel T3 will sell with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II zoom lens for $599.99.
