home sweet home

NOT.

well I'm back

My trip was everything I hoped it would be :]
it was the breath of fresh air I needed.


I don't even know how to describe what seeing such beautiful landscapes does to me.
but it's an unbelievable feeling.

We left at 4 am [I drove most of the way]
but yeah as we passed through Lompoc or some other little town after that, the sky lightened and it was such a beautiful shade of blue. We were driving through clouds, and my only regret was that I couldn't find a place to pull over and snap shots in this fog, and of the clouds in this valley.

I'll just drive back ;]

every moment was breathtaking!
and I know I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I would
but I took enough
and it gives me reference for where I want to go if I go back.

I need to go with someone who enjoys hiking
and won't get tired easily...
because once I'm in the mood I don't want to slow down
and I want to explore every flower rich field, and sea cliff that comes my way


sigh.


and san francisco was of course amazing.
marianne and I walked through golden gate park again
all the way down to the beach
the water was so cold, but once I was numb it felt incredible.
and it was so clear!

the next morning I wandered off by myself because she had school.
I had breakfast at a little place on Haight st
photographed some random things
tried my continued multiple exposure project.

then made my way back

I wish I could have stayed.
but I know I'll have plenty more opportunities to explore the coast and sf


on the drive back one of the last stops I made was by a lighthouse.
it was so serene
I was of course not upclose and personal with the lighthouse
but in a field of yellow flowers that covered one of the cliffs near the sea that overlooked the lighthouse.


BEAUTIFUL!
aaaah


now I'm tired
my eyes were on overload!


spring break has been good to me so far
and hopefully it continues in this positive direction

another photo adventure later this week :]
and I'm going to continue playin with the 1:4 lens I borrowed.

great for portraits!!!aaaaah
