my sister's wedding {a beautiful desert ceremony}

a few weeks ago we drove down to san diego for my sister's wedding.  it was one of the most beautiful settings and the ceremony was so wonderful and moving.  everything was so simple and yet i know that so much work went into every little detail.  they did most everything themselves including making all the food.  her new husband is a four star chef from sicily and we were not disappointed.  i was inspired by their commitment to each other and putting together such a beautiful and emotional gathering.  i had so much fun and will remember it always.  here's to the happy couple, and i hope they have a lifetime of happiness, travel, adventure, and good food.

way MIA

lately i have gone missing.  things are heating up around here and i have hardly had any time to breath.  

i have been to san diego and back and driven all over the place in the last few days.  driving can really be very tiring even though you are just sitting there looking out the window.  riding in the passenger seat is much better than driving in the driver's seat.  i love to look out the window and see all the things that i would never see if i was driving.  

just a few photos from the past couple of weeks.

longboard pintails.

i found this little video on pinterest the other day and i just love it.  i can't get the song out of my head.  the song is called "the swimming song" by vetiver.  it goes together with the video so perfectly and reminds me of long summer days growing up in tennessee.  

if this doesn't make you want to take up skateboarding, then i don't know what would.

enjoy.

snow is so quiet.

this holiday we found ourselves in northeast ohio to visit family and there is nothing like a good white christmas.  it didn't actually snow on christmas day, but two days after we received a nice 4 to 5 inches of wonderful, quiet, and somewhat damp snow.  there is something so calming about walking about in the woods as the snow falls softly onto tree branches and fallen leaves.  that is something we do not get to much of here on the coast of california.  happy new year to all and i hope this year brings many good returns.

the golden gate

i love driving over the golden gate.  i always feel like this is where i belong when i see it.  it makes me take a deep breath and look around at where i live and where i come from.  there are few things in this world made by man that make the landscape more beautiful...the golden gate is one of them.
