]]> The season of spring starts in late March in the UK, and goes on until late May. Often one of the best seasons weather-wise, it can still be a good idea to bring an umbrella or waterproof in case of those notorious April showers. Wherever you’re heading in the UK this spring, here are three key items to make sure you bring.

Sunglasses

The combination of a low sun and brighter days can lead to dazzling light. Whilst this is a welcome relief after winter, it can be a good idea to pack a pair of sunglasses, especially if you’re light sensitive or heading somewhere near the sea, as the ocean can intensify sunlight. Even though the days may still be quite short, you don’t want to get caught out by the bright spring sun.

Waterproof

A light rainproof jacket is a good idea (or, if you’re heading to the Highlands of Scotland or somewhere equally adventurous, bring full waterproof gear!) Spring showers may not last for very long, but they can be intense. Sun filled skies can also lead to false expectations of warmth—it is likely to still be chill in the air, so make sure you bring some layers to wear under the waterproof.

SPF

Although the sun may not be out all the time, this is the time of year when UV rays are getting more intense in the UK. Combined with this, after a long winter away from the sun many of us are keen to get out and about and feel the rays on our skin. Whilst this is healthy, do make sure you pack a decent sunscreen and apply it daily, especially on your face and any other areas that may be exposed often to the sun. Although you may not burn at this time of year, UV damage is not something anyone wants to bring home with them from their trip away.

]]> The Atacama Desert in Chile, one of the driest places on Earth, transforms into a breathtaking spectacle of color during its rare and remarkable wildflower bloom. This phenomenon, known as “Desierto Florido” or “Flowering Desert,” occurs sporadically, often every 5 to 7 years, when rainfall is higher than usual.

The spectacle is a photographer’s and nature lover’s dream. As the desert floor awakens, it’s carpeted with millions of flowers, ranging from vibrant purples and pinks to radiant yellows and whites. This bloom not only provides a stunning visual display but also a unique ecological event, as it supports a variety of wildlife, attracting birds, insects, and small mammals.

The best time to witness this magical transformation is usually between September and November. Visitors can explore different areas of the desert to see various flower species. Popular spots include the coastal town of Huasco, where the purple pata de guanaco blooms, and the hills around Vallenar, known for their colorful arrays of mariposa lilies and añañucas.

Photographing the Desierto Florido requires patience and respect for the delicate ecosystem. The use of tripods is recommended to avoid trampling the flowers, and visitors are encouraged to stay on designated paths. Capturing the contrast of vivid wildflowers against the stark desert backdrop creates not just beautiful images, but also lasting memories of nature’s resilience and splendor in the most unexpected places.

]]> If you ever wondered when is the perfect time to visit Japan, the answer is very simple: anytime. But there is particularly one time of the year when Japan puts on its finest attire. It is in the springtime, from March to May, when the cherry trees bloom all over the country. In Japan, this period of time is called Hanami, or also known as the Cherry blossom festival.

Hanami, a centuries-old Japanese tradition of blossom viewing has its great significance. In old times, it represented the custom of welcoming spring and enjoying the beauty of flowers, especially sakura (cherry) or ume (plum) tree flowers. Nowadays, in this busy world of ours, it gathers families and friends under one cherry tree, making them relax a bit, and spend quality time with their loved ones.

The festival dates change from place to place and from year to year and are usually determined with reference to cherry blossom. This beautiful awakening of nature symbolizes new beginnings and it is the number one attraction to the tourists.

But if for some reason, your path doesn’t take you to Japan, don’t worry! Cherry blossom festival isn’t only celebrated in Japan, but in the whole world: Taiwan, Korea, The Philippines, China, USA, Georgia, Finland, and Italy.
