I took a little vacation. A little Memorial Day vacation. Ok, well sort of a long Memorial Day vaction. An e x t e n d e d Memorial Day vacation to be exact. I returned Thursday night as the sun was turning all things a milky orange color during the best time of day, dusk.
My couple of short airplane flights took me this time to Los Angles to visit a friend, two friends actually, the ocean, the mountains, the taco trucks and the sunshine.
Quality time spent romping around LA with each of these friends of old was exactly what I had been looking for.
The ocean was just as I remembered her -- brilliant, strong, always changing, yet comfortingly consistent.
The mountains? They were perfect (as mountains often seem to be).
And finally, judging by the rumblings of burritos still in my stomach and the skin on my nose starting to rebel by coming off of me -- I think the e x t e n d e d Memorial Day vacation was fairly successful.
How was your Memorial Day??
best,
natalie.
Love your photos, Nat. And your description of the ocean. I love getting lost in the textures and patterns of trees. Looks like you do too!
ReplyDeleteMy Memorial Day was spent under cover during my first Tropical Storm. I'm still trying to find the words to write about it.
@ amy. Yes! Right!? The texture of the trees captivated me, which made me not the best hiking partner I think, oh well! And tropical storms?? Oh dear. I'll be waiting for the words when they are ready to coming ....
ReplyDeleteWhat rich and deep images. Thanks for sharing these glimpses of your extended trip, bet the ocean was glad to receive you...
