birthday girl

happy birthday to my sweet little niece - she is two two two 
love how she closes her eyes to blow out the candles...

pop ::: hello color!

after winter 
it is always so nice to see color
makes me happy

lately

taking in the warm sun on a winter's day

the callatrava

a few views of lake michigan - so blue

the perfect spring day at the pool

from under the cherry blossom tree

a beautiful day to spend some time under the cherry blossom tree 
something like another post from last year 
but enjoyed a new perspective through my tilt-shift lens

smuggler

grateful for a beautiful day, a long walk, a great talk and this stunning view yesterday

the road ahead

it has been a while...
good things are happening
at peace with where I am today
and grateful for what awaits
looking forward to the road ahead

home by the sea

for as many days that I have spent on this beach
it revealed a new appearance this visit
calm and cozy with layers of waves and clouds and fog
looking ever so lovely
