[29/365] Dim Sum for Lunch, San Jose, California, USA
I had a great weekend in the bay area! Had lunch with my mom, brother, aunts, uncle and grandma, and my request was dim sum. I think if you asked me what my favorite food is, dim sum would be very near the top. Yum! I’m getting hungry just looking at it!
[28/365] Autumn Leaves, Kyoto, Japan
Autumn in Japan is amazing! I’ve never seen leaves so red! Anyway, that’s all from me tonight. Good night, friends!
[27/365] Street Lights, Port Hueneme, California, USA
Nighttime in the streets of Port Hueneme! A little trip for work… It’s a nice drive on the 101 – reminds me of my past Santa Barbara visits. Passed by the Camarillo Outlets on the way back and really, really wanted to make a stop, but somehow got myself to keep on heading home. This […]
[26/365] Window Shopping at Anthropologie, Americana, Glendale, California, USA
I know, I know, I’m always posting up pics from Anthropologie. I just like the store display so much! This was a winter time display as I was “window shopping”. I’m trying to stay away from clothes shopping, but somehow I chose this photo for today – maybe this is my way of telling myself […]
[25/365] Sunset at the Beach, Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
Today, I decided to look back on my photos from Costa Rica from summer of this past year. It was so much fun! Costa Rica seriously had one of the most beautiful beach sunsets I’ve ever seen. The beach at Manuel Antonio was amazing to swim in during the day and even more amazing to […]
[24/365] Craft Super Show, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, USA
Learn. Create. Buy. This is the motto for this year’s Craft Super Show. I love arts & crafts and when I found out about the Craft Super Show in Anaheim, I just had to go! This is the first year that this event, sponsored by the Craft and Hobby Association, was open to the public […]
[23/365] Brighton Train Station, Brighton, United Kingdom
Sometimes I ask myself why I do this – I’ve had many hobbies and collections in my lifetime, but committment hasn’t been my strongest point. I started this photo diary on April 12, 2009, and amazingly, I am still going – nearly a photo a day – a few misses here and there. I’m actually […]
[22/365] Calle de Los Suspiros (Street of Sighs), Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
Loved the quaint town of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay! This pedestrian street is known as the Street of Sighs, and the origin of it’s name has many variations involving love, death, romance, mystery and secrets. The foggy day added to the mystery of this street. There was a art gallery along this street with beautiful paintings. […]
[21/365] Leaving the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
Sunny day in Arizona! Watched as the horses descended up and out of the Grand Canyon as we were hiking further down. Arizona trip from Spring, almost 2 years ago.
[20/365] One Year Ago: Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama, Washington D.C., USA
One year ago today, I was standing in the frigid cold weather of Washington D.C. as President Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States. From where we stood in this picture, we weaved through people all the way to the closest gate we were allowed to be at. What an […]
