Getting Away

A recent ritual we've developed is getting away to spend time at home in the forest. It feels so much different than being in the city. The sound in the forest is so soft ... hearing the birds chirp and the wood peckers knocking ... the strongest roar being the wind blowing through the trees.
Winter is coming here in California and it's beginning to get chilly. It's such a nice time of year to walk the woods or browse around the garden ... sipping a warm cup of tea or morning coffee ... taking a minute to sit down for some inspirational reading. The misty fog in the mornings is my favorite ... it closes off the distance and makes things even more quiet and calming.
Here are some photos from our recent little shoot. Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)

White Out
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ...
I'm always afraid of wearing white due to how clumsy I can be ... hehe
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ... trying to be more lady like keeping my dress clean. I love the refreshing and clean feeling that wearing all white brings. It's one time when we can all feel a little more elegance about ourselves ....
While up on the Northern California coast we passed by this wonderfully aged barn. The rust and weathering gives things so much texture against the white misty fog. Driving by I was picturing myself wearing all white and running around. Here's a few photos from the scene I was picturing in my mind .... ;)
Hope you enjoy the inspiration ...

Misty

Mist creates such a mystery for me ... things seem to always become more peaceful and quiet ... slowing time. It's often chilling, but provides such beauty and comfort to the eyes making things so much more magical and inspiring for photographs. Moments and views change with the fog lines ... blocking the distance, allowing you to only imagine what it could be. Giving you a moment to paint pictures in your mind ... ;)
On our recent trip we wanted to be more spontaneous ... allowing us to take our time and adapt along the way. Taking turns down smaller local highways and country roads that we always miss today using the larger interstates.
Last weekend we ventured up Hwy 1 with no reservations of where we were going to stay for the night. Heading north we ended up at a wonderful spot camping by the fire in Manchester State Park ... eventually making it all the way to Fort Bragg with many stops along the way. Each time I adventure along the coast it makes me love it so much more ....
Hope you enjoy these inspirational photos ... ;)

Melting Away

Whenever I see big rocks and sand, all I tend to think about is the Flintstones ... the modern day twist on stone age living. How they have and keep their home ... and the outfits they wear. Such a simple and rustic way they live their life with imaginative modern conveniences. I always enjoy those vintage hand drawn cartoons from the past. They are so less realistic than todays ... having to be more creative and imaginative.
Being there also makes me think I'm on a Safari ... inspiring me to wear things that I can camouflage, or in this heat ... melt into the nature. If I stand still enough maybe the animals won't notice me? ... haha
It almost makes me feel that we are having a little costume party with nature for a hot second.
( ^-^ ) ...
While feeling like I'm melting from the steamy sun ... and day dreaming of my ice tea (extra ice) at the homestead cabin ... I really did enjoy trying to melt my outfit into the rocks and become a part of the desert scenery that is always so beautiful to me.
Hope you enjoy ... can't wait to share more photos of our other stops too ...

Snake Print
I recently noticed that in my closet I have a bunch of animal prints...
I recently noticed that in my closet I have a bunch of animal prints ... leopard, cheetah, zebra.
It only makes me wonder if I may have been an animal in a past life ...
Animal fabrics and prints are always so much fun. I get so happy to see the excitement of peoples faces when they get to dress up in their favorite fabric or fur. A print I really love and admire is snake skin. It has so much detail and can be worn to make you look either tough or elegant.
So today ... I am pretending to be a snake :)
What kind of animal do you wanna be?
