life in pictures: playing with light and colors

more real than reality."

sometimes, all it takes is putting one foot in front of the other ...

and before you know, you'll be right where you belong.

breakfast in paris.

okay, I didn't actually fly off to Paris for breakfast,

but I can pretend I'm in Paris in this cute and charming café.

as for my breakfast, it was delish!

crepe parisenne - Nutella, bananas and strawberries.  Sweet start to my morning. :)

The lady who worked there thought I was a tourist - on vacation. 

Who sits down for an early breakfast, with a book (and camera) 

in the middle of the week, right?

It was lovely.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Vacation is over.  Now, back to work.

still here.

I haven't disappeared.  I've just been a little distracted, savoring in happyland.  The other day, I thought, what's the difference?  Because there hasn't been any major, life-altering changes. ...

Then, I remembered, I'm here.  Immersed in the present.  In the beauty that surrounds me.  And in the faith that tomorrow will take care of itself.  So, the weight of worry has been lifted.  And there's just the combined sense of relief, awe and excitement for the unknown that follows.

"Rays" - during a September afternoon walk.

"Van Gogh sky" - I'm a big Van Gogh fan, and when I saw this, I felt like I was in a Van Gogh painting.

I can't wait for the official fall season ... just a few more days!  I know it is still super-hot, but the evenings have been a little cooler, and the days have been getting shorter.  But the best part of fall this year is that I'll be in one of my favorite cities!  Can't wait!!!

 

it's possible.

 a gem in the neighborhood.

It's possible, you know. 

To wake up one day and realize that you're living your dream. 

That there's nothing you'd take back or do over

because you're happy with where you're at.

And you know that you got there (here)

because of the path you took,

because of the things and people

that touched you along the way.

sky snaps

If you know me, you know I love the sky.  My friends think I have this unnatural obsession with it.  Pretty much, they think I'm weird because I'm always taking pictures of the sky.  But, when I went to the Annenberg House a couple of weeks ago, I saw this exhibit:

So, it looks like I'm not the only one obsessed with the sky. 

Anyhow, today was a good sky day.  Actually, a very beautiful sky day. 

Enough to make this day even more awesome.  :) 

Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday!  And hope you got to see the amazing sky, and that it put a big smile on your face. 

By the way, do you see the fox running?

Happy Birthday to Mr. Hilarious.

Mr. Hilarious' fancy birthday cake for his NBA All-Star themed party.

More birthdays. :)

Sorry for all the photo posts, but I'm all out of words lately.  A lot going on.  Really good things.  However, I just don't have the energy to come up with anything to say here.  But, I'll be back soon.  Promise.  :)
