against the sky

Your brown eyes are my blue skies. They light up the rivers that the birds fly over.


I miss the waves. All that's been on my mind lately is the summer. School is almost over and I look forward to warm days in the sun, picnics on the beach and late night bonfires.

Islands

I do hope you will excuse my absence.

The photos of the beach were taken in Bolsa Chica, which I've photographed

numerous times before. As for the flower shots, I drove up to Rose Hills

Cemetery, since they have one of the biggest rose gardens in the world.

Bolsa Chica is one of my favorite beaches because it's peaceful. All along the

shore you see people sitting alone, staring into the ocean. People come here

to reflect and sort out their thoughts. That's why I like it too.

This weekend I realized how happy shooting with my dsrl makes me.

I took a two month break from it but now I plan on going shooting every

weekend like I used to.

I hope all of you are doing well ♥

This song captures my exact state.

Do they feel cold on your bones?

All the years I've missed your warmth

Have you missed my warmth?

On your island

scenes from the week

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible.Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise.It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does.Even for me.                                                                                                            - Stephanie Meyer.

driving to the beach with the windows down, music blasting, friends laughing;
it is next to the waves I feel the most alive.



Hello friends,
I had originally planned to take a break from my blog and stop taking photos for a while. Yet as I walked out of work last week, I couldn't help but to take a photo of this sunset. I am quite happy I'm still able to see beauty in the world around me and my eyes are still alert to such things.



I want to thank every each and every one of you who commented on my last post from the bottom of my heart. This is by far, the hardest thing I've had to go through.
I did not only lose my best friend but also a wonderful family that I wished could have been mine forever as well. I've been keeping busy and staying strong. I pray I continue on this way.
I'm going to start catching up on your blogs soon, I promise! xx

ready to start, arcade fire.

"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?
