Free Falling

Captured this crisp fall shot on my phone this morning in my backyard. 

Danshui River Walk

Taipei City is a huge metropolitan of more than 2.6 million people. There always seems to be hustle and bustle. And heat. On the weekends, many city dwellers like to go a little outside of town to get away from it all, cool off  from the ocean breeze, eat some snacks, and play a few games. Recently I had a chance to visit Danshui, where the Tamsui River meets the Pacific Ocean. It was a perfect respite from constantly being in the city center.

The mountains were beautiful!

Yum?

Is this not the tallest ice cream you’ve ever seen?!

Playing games

There were even a few temples there

 

Instawalking the Trails

To Travel is to Live

I made this today from one of my photos and thought I’d share.

Instawalking Blennerhassett Island

There’s an island in the middle of the Ohio River called Blennerhassett Island. The Blennerhassett family used to live in a mansion there, and now visitors can tour the old buildings and walk around the island. Today’s weather was predicted to be beautiful, so my friend Zach and I hopped on the boat that takes you to the island!

Live the Life You Have Imagined

I have a challenge for you in 2013.  Do what you’ve been dreaming of. Live out what you’ve imagined for yourself.

I took this photo of the Ohio River looking toward Kentucky on New Year’s Day. New Year. New You.

Lotus Flowers in Seoul

I got the chance to go to a lovely park by the Han River in Seoul, and there were some beautiful lotus flowers there.

Ice Ice Baby

We had an ice storm over the weekend. It made for slippery sidewalks but beautiful photos!

Since we’ve been having some lovely weather lately, and I love doing macro (up-close!) photography, I’ve been out lately trying to take a few photos. Here are a few that  I hope you will like.
