nothing a few old friends can't fix.


So i have been feeling pretty sick for the past couple of days, today being the worst. I haven't blogged cause i was too tired and today i feel the same just thought a i would post a picture that makes me happy. Last night i had a few old friends visit and even though i could feel myself getting sicker by the minute it made me happy to know that after many years of not seeing each other it seemed like we hadn't skipped a beat. XO S.N. and D. thanks!

Brought out the good 'ol camera today!


So it's been awhile since i have shot with my digital SLR and to be honest it's a pretty old one, but it does the job. Today i pulled it down from the top of my closet, threw it over my shoulder and spent the afternoon with a good friend of mine. Ready to have her first baby girl in just a few short weeks the two of us had talked about taking some pictures of her and her belly a few months ago and it seemed like a good idea. Time passed, we got busy, her belly got bigger and i thought, i had better ask her again before the baby is here, i didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to take pictures of her and her beautiful tummy. So i mentioned it again and she seemed a little less interested this time, i told her not to feel pressured if she didn't feel comfortable then we didn't have to do it, but she is a really pretty lady and it would be next to impossible to take a bad photo of her. So i convinced her that even if we take just a few at least she will have a pic or two to remember what she looked like when she was pregnant for the first time. Anyway i was happy i got to do it and here is one of my favorites.
thanks jess. xox

Bess remember this?

This is my lovely friend Bess, she is a beautiful dancer. I took this picture probably four or five years ago, are you surprised that she is the one who inspired me to start this blog?

Niki and I

figs.

I saw a photo of figs on another blog and she wrote about how beautiful they are, i agreed, so i dug up this photo. This was in Athens having dinner outside with fresh figs right off the tree.

Tinos

If i remember correctly, my memory isn't one of my strengths this was the first island we visited. We stayed right next to the port and this was our first night looking out off our little balcony. For a little island there seemed to be a lot going on. Beautiful night!

Paros

This is where we stayed in Paros. Right on the beach.

waiting for the bus.

i love this picture it makes me remember how hot it was. This was in Santorini waiting for the bus to take us into town....it never came we ended up walking.
There is something very beautiful about this picture that makes me want to sit and stare at it. I don't know if it is because of how clean and white it is or it could be how symmetrical it is it almost looks like a mirrored image of itself..... I think it's the motorcycle... it reminds me of my dad.

Just starting to get the hang of this whole blogging thing.

So i will ask anyone who comes across this blog to bare with me, i am new to this whole thing and am just starting to get the hang of it all. So for the first little while i can guarantee this blog will be all over the place and probably not flow as well as it should so i ask for your patience, and remember what it was like to be a kid and just look at all the pretty pictures.
Enjoy!
This was taken in Tinos, two old gutted cars looking out off the edge of a cliff. I always thought it was kind of a romantic picture and looked like the cars were on a date at the drive-in or something.
This was in Athens outside of the parliment buildings, the changing of the guards. It was a whole routine. I just like the pom poms on the shoes.

Me and My Love

This picture makes me happy. I love it.
