Day 8

Day 8: Today I am thankful for Nature.




             I am really at a loss for words when it comes to nature. Surprising I know! I am so awe struck by its graceful beauty that most of the time I can only stare with a smile on my face. Nature is my second favorite thing to photograph besides sunsets, and my third love in life after Adam and food. Adam and I love nature, one of our favorite places is Folsom lake. It is very close to our house and has great 4 wheeling spots and spots to just sit and enjoy the peace and quite of the view. In the spring time when all the lupine are blooming its like a sea of purple and I make Adam take me all the time to pick flowers. Flowers are my favorite part of nature. All kinds make me happy but a meadow of wild flowers is the best! Making bouquets is so fun and calming to me. I love to bring them to people for no reason and see how they light up. When I am in nature its so easy to let every thing else go and only connect with mother earth. I am trying to do this more so everyday.

Day 6

Day 6: Today I am thankful for sunsets

Sunset is my favorite time of day. I have always been a night owl so I don't get to see to many sunrises. I relish in the moment when the sun is just about to dip below the horizon and seems to set the whole sky a fire!

Some of the most beautiful sun sets happen in the winter months.
        








The clouds make for such and amazing canvas and the colors that cast off of them are breath taking.





 



Sunsets are one of my favorite things to photograph and what inspires me to want to learn to paint.  

 




I think watching the sun set is one of the most romantic dates.






 




Out here in Ophir I am lucky enough to have great views of sunsets. Adam and I have spent many evenings standing on the deck watching the last moments of light slip away. 

 






On our honeymoon we watched the sun set every night, its our thing! 

Admiring and soaking in these beautiful moments in life is when I feel the most relaxed and closest to the higher energy levels.
