A Favorite Place-- Day 1

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting the blog (some of you more often than I even do)! It's been a little while since I posted with any sense of regularity, but I got to go to a favorite place last week, and I thought I'd share with you some of the images I took while I was there.

Whenever I'm not in southern California, the one place I miss, long for, and wish wasn't so far away is Balboa Park. There's always something going on there, and as it turns out, this time there were many things going on at once. A dance recital (which I never found my way to!), an orchid show, a Steampunk cosplay meet-up celebrating the 7th year of my favorite steampunk band: Steam Powered Giraffe! (Congrats, guys, on your lasting success!) And as always, museums, museums, museums! ... and an organ concert hall! 

These are just the pictures from day one. 

Enjoy!

How did you get there, lil' guy?

Proper!

This looks like a good place for the one selfie..

Creepy Darling...

Thank you!

Happy New Year! Goodbye Gravity!

Hi everyone and happy new year! Happy Thursday!

I wasn't sure if I should post anything for the time being, since I've gotten busy with life, and have slowed down my posts in general. I might be changing directions here soon. But I thought I'd pop online to share a thought with you.

It seems that lots of my friends, including myself, sense a great deal of positivity and posibility for this new year of 2015. Do you feel that way, too? 

If you haven't sensed it, I invite you to look for it, join it and be a part of spreading it. 

My sister and I used to laugh at this song because it was just so artsy that it was almost a little hard to relate to. But for some reason, hearing it again today, I feel like it's a defining feature of this year.



Some are dreamers 
and some are realists 
but, we all welcome change 
this is goodbye, gravity 
you no longer keep me grounded 

this is world as we know it 
this is world as we know it 
this is world as we know it 
this is world as we know it 

some are lovers 
and some are fighters 
but, we all pump the same red blood into our veins 
the new is in, and we're feeling better already 

this is world as we know it


Thank you to The Morning Of for writing and sharing this beautiful song!

Thanks for reading, thanks for stopping by!
