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 ... ;)

Oceans of Dreams
Growing up, I always enjoyed taking naps and listening to the white noise throughout the house ...
Growing up, I always enjoyed taking naps and listening to the white noise throughout the house ... fans constantly spinning to cool the hot humid air .... the clock ticking as I shut my eyes trying to fall asleep.
Lately we've been using a white noise machine when getting into bed ... choosing between ocean waves and forest rain to help inspire our dreams as we sleep. I've been having lots of ocean dreams ever since ... my favorite sleep sound currently ... ;)
Listening to all the waves throughout the night has left me thinking of the beach each morning when I get up. Here's a few pictures from our current shoot inspired by our ocean dreams lately. Hope you enjoy ... ;)

We've been heading to the woods more lately ... walking around and seeing all kinds of greens.
We've been heading to the woods more lately ... walking around and seeing all kinds of greens. It feels good each weekend to get out, since we all spend so much time on our computers through the work week. It makes me feel like I can more easily rest my eyes with the greens you get to see in nature ... :)
If I could have one super power ... I think I would choose the ability to be invisible. Being hidden is very interesting to me and makes me very curious about what I would see. You would be able to see true honesty and picture things completely uninterrupted in their natural state.
Honesty can be tough sometimes ... which is the only thing that makes me wonder if I would really want to experience it. For now we'll just have to practice trying to camouflage into our neighborhood. Here's a few photos from a recent hide & seek walk. Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)

Into the Woods
Lately I've been feeling a draw back to nature ...
Lately I've been feeling a draw back to nature ... a little urge or itch to leave the city and adventure into the woods. To see more trees and greenery ... take in some of the refreshing coastal air and slow the pace of the weekend. It always makes me feel refreshed and re-energized each time I connect with nature.
Another uniform item Rob typically loves to wear is prints. Half of our closet is now filled with prints in all forms ... t-shirts, shorts, button-ups, pants ... most of them have a vacation theme. This one in particular is one of my favorites ... who doesn't love a Hula Girl?... :)
It brings back memories of the one time we got to visit Hawaii together ... hiking around the island in the mist and rain. I hope to go back there one day. Until then I guess I'll have to explore more of this wonderful coast.
Hope you enjoy...
Rob also made a mix theme retro vacation. Hopefully it helps you take a little retro vacation for awhile and keep you smiling :)

If you follow me on instagram, you've probably seem some of our recent pics ...
It was a hot hot hot desert day full of sun. We were relaxing taken our time in the morning at the homestead cabin and then decided to go out for a little adventure on the 4th. Driving around stopping at little shops we picked out this little rubber duck. The heat made us dream of jumping into a cooling pool or lake. Since we can't do that in Joshua Tree Park, why not imagine right?
Rob loves wearing standard uniforms ... so I recently started trying to find new pieces for him to start including in his collection ... or perhaps something we can share ... hehe
Here's a few from our little desert shot ... hope you enjoy the photos ... ;)
