Life hasn’t stopped moving, but I will try to pick up where I left off with the next few posts. I’ll try to take things slow and not overwhelm myself with starting too many entries at once (a very bad habit), so I’ll pick something short and sweet. I went to SoCal for a business […]
This year I spent the holidays in California with my relatives. My great aunt flew in from Missouri, so we had a little reunion! It was a quiet Christmas day cooking together and watching TV. I was in charge of photographing the food (as always), however I wasn’t able to shoot everything. We forgot to […]
This afternoon we drove to Santa Monica Seafood in Costa Mesa for lunch! It had a fish market filled with many types of freshly-caught and prepared fish as well as a cafe! Despite the pouring rain, the outdoor seating area was well-heated and it was pretty relaxing having the rain for background noise (once you […]
I happened to still be awake last night when it first started falling, so I was really excited to get outside today! I charged my batteries overnight and bundled up for a snowy walk in the afternoon. 🙂 To my complete surprise I stumbled across a holly tree! We had a holly tree right in […]

Saturday morning, Daniel and I took a spontaneous trip up to Bellingham for the weekend to do all things Autumn! I’ve been told that Bham is absolutely gorgeous in the colder months, and the scenery up did not disappoint one bit. There were so many red and yellow trees, especially the neighborhood that Daniel’s old […]
This week my friend Prinz came up from San Diego to Seattle for a few days. We really don’t get to see each other outside of cons, so it was a treat being able to show him around! Luck was on our side, as it was a gorgeous Tuesday ALL DAY! I made the mistake […]
Here’s the second half of our daytrip! There were so many shops to look at! We stopped by Artisan Sake Maker for some food and sake tasting. From their website — Established in 2007 on Granville Island, Artisan SakeMaker is known as a unique commercial winery that produces award winning, hand-made, small batch and fresh sake. […]
It was breathlessly easy getting swept up in all of Vancouver’s character and charm during our day trip to Granville Island. There were so many unique buildings and alleys, and for the most part no shortage of plantlife all along the way. We woke up early to make the most of it, so I broke […]
