April, one of my favorite months of the year, produces such beautiful images for flower lovers and photographers alike. The sweet smell, the bees pollinating, the brilliance of the red, the softly muted white, and the green leafy background to balance it all out - flowers just light up the concrete jungle’s landscaping. This is the first of many floral prints that I have taken over the years, and “Red and White” will be the first available here on the site!
Oakland Sunset
I was on vacation visiting the San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland area for my birthday back on January 12, 2012. It was a fantastic trip - my host cooked a delicious dinner every night and he showed me some of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen. Alas we were not meant to be, but the memories of his good company, food and the sunsets have definitely lingered. There is just something about taking the time out of a hectic day to watch the sky’s palette of colors change in such a dramatic fashion. For me it cleanses my mind, brings about a sense of peace and reflection and leaves me feeling better, regardless of my mood. Not to mention that each and every sunset is different, as well as uhm, free? Check one out sometime, you won[‘t be disappointed!
