flying a kite

"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy."

(Quote from The Bell Jar)

It was a wonderful week. Abe and I went to Bolsa Chica Beach yesterday. How was your weekend, I'd love to know! Also, Mother's Day is coming up. I'm still thinking of good gift ideas for my Mom. Do you know what your getting your Mom yet?

Beautiful series of images...
The second shot is awesome love the hues, the kite great compo

well done

A Lost Feather said...

mm yes i still love the bunnies hehe

i've only been out to southern ca once (other than the time i was 3 but i don't remember that!) and i was shocked at the traffic haha.. i mean, we have obnoxious traffic in ny.. but the highways out by you- so many lanes! so anyway, i can understand what you mean about finding the right time to travel up to san fran. it's a gorgeous drive though, right? but yeah traffic does put a damper on things. i live 14 miles from my bf and it takes me about 35-45 mins to get to his place. drives me insane.

i think your best bet would be to avoid going during the summer! less traffic when all the kiddies are in school :)

Rebecca, Galatea, A Lost Feather, Marco, Felicia, Nicky, Ilaria, LCR, Fashionography, Raffaella, Francesca, Julie, Rebecca, thrviewfinder: Thanks a lot!!
