oh how i wish i could dig my toes in the warm sand right now… inhale the ocean air and feel the breezy salty mist on my face… listen to the crash of the ocean waves and the peaceful sound of the ebb and flow of the water… i’m desperately seeking a rendezvous with the big blue! ❤
what have you been daydreaming about?! have an awesome weekend!
just a few favourites from the archives. my camera is very eager to get out and play!
have a great weekend!
i have always thought swiss chard was so beautiful. the colours, the intricate web-like design on the leaves, the fun “bubbly” type texture… and i thought this one was particularly cool. for one, it kind of reminds me of an aspen leaf – the shape of it. and for two, look at the fun pink tip – it’s like a paintbrush…
nature’s paintbrush 😉
how beautiful and cool is that?! nature does it best. Continue reading
nothing makes me happier than when i’m taking pictures. nothing makes my soul shine brighter and vibrate higher than when i have a camera in my hand. i am at my absolute best when i am capturing the world around me, through these eyes, through fotography. creating memorable images is what i do best. i am in love with fotography, and it is in love with me.
fotography is my absolute passion in life.
snow, however – is not. but we are working on establishing a healthy symbiotic relationship…
😉
i took my camera for a walk the other day… and goodness, was it slushy and wet. however, it was still cool to see all the snow in its many forms… the patterns the water creates and carves as the it melts is just fascinating to me!
continued from last week –
isn’t this wild?!?! sunken evil snow creature emerges… aaaaaahhhhh!!!
…
love the gradient effect…
literally a “mountain” of snow…

walking through the filthy snow-packed hills during x-games this weekend, i became inspired… and thus, i have begun working on an actual artistic series called “the dark side of snow” 😉
i’ve been taking my camera with me to fotograph such things, but i wanted to share these few i snapped with my iphone. do you ever stop to look at the details these old and dirty piles of snow create?! between the melting and re-freezing and various winds and plow trucks, snow forms from fluffy white flakes into slushy mixed-coloured mounds and stark white turns pitch black. it transforms from graceful to treacherous, from beautiful to ugly, from light to dense, from snow to something else entirely…
by the way, it’s almost time for mercury to go retrograde again… 😉
even though we have a ways to go yet before it’s in season…
i’m totally craving asparagus lately…
and sometimes i just take pictures of produce… in case you haven’t noticed 🙂
watching me at the grocery store in the produce section is pretty hilarious, no doubt. i take a long time to pick out my vegetables, mostly knowing that i’ll eventually have them in front of a camera… so i like them to be pretty 😉
happy wednesday!
