This past week I haven’t been able to focus much on the creative aspect of my life and rather stayed on track with work and managing a home. I actually hate that but someone has to do it. 🙂 So, in order to break the monotony, I signed up for a day of pampering myself and then volunteered to escort a dear person in my life on a 48hour road trip to pick up a puppy. I am hoping both experiences will enlighten me enough to get inspired so that I can bounce back to my old creative self again. Stay tuned to see what the outcome is.
Since I live in San Francisco and seldom go up to Lake Tahoe, I have to say I am nostalgic for what I creatively refer to as picture perfect winter days. You know the kind that looks amazing in photos but not so amazing when you live through it. That kind and just incase you don’t know what I am talking about, please see below 🙂
I have decided to take a few days to recoup, regroup and recharge. Enjoy the Thanksgiving Weekend!
I dont’ think I’ve voiced enough lately how much I love the city I live in. San Francisco is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, providing there is no fog of course. So, I was glad when I found these photos here and posted them on my blog for not only my viewing pleasure, but yours as well. Enjoy 🙂
There are days, it’s unusually difficult to feel creative or inspired to do anything. Today happens to be one of those days, where after an excruciatingly turn-offish campaign season, which lead to the most predictable results, compounded by the fact the weather turned from 85degree sunny and beautiful to an overcast, cold day, I have lost my inspiration. But, that’s okay, it happens to the best of us. I must remember however to keep my chin up and stay focused and I am sure this feeling too shall pass.
Happy Halloween to those who celebarte the occasion. I thought I would share some of my favorite pumpkin carvings posted here from Ray Villafane Studios – Enjoy and be safe 🙂
What more can I say than thank you San Francisco Giants for your amazing display of sportsmanship, determination and drive to clinch the NLCS Championship 2012. You made watching an American sport worth while. WE WILL GO ALL THE WAY 🙂
As I stated before I have fallen in love with Autumn and feel it is probably the most romantic time of the year and wish there were enough trees planted throughout the city of San Francisco to get a glimpse of the leaves changing color. But since that’s not an option, I usually take a day trip to Napa in the Fall to get a glimpse of some of the most breath taking scenery. {photo credits} http://fineartamerica.com/featured/napa-valley-fall-bill-gallagher.html http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Napa-Valley-Fall-Colors http://winecamp.squarespace.com/journal/2009/11/17/photo-camp-fall-colors-napa-november.html http://www.cbspittsburghtrip.com
The past three days, it was extremely hot in San Francisco and although it was a pleasant change from the cold and fog, it aggravated alot of locals. Very strange bunch, we are, the city folk. I, on the other hand, did everything in my power to stay out as long as I could to enjoy the sun and the heat, so after work I walked over to Union Square and enjoyed a nice dinner outdoors atop Macy Department Store, over-looking the square. When I finally made it back down to the street level, I couldn’t believe how amazingly hot it still was even at 8p.m. So, naturally I grabbed my hubby’s cell and snapped some photos of the light effects in San Francisco on a hot Indian Summer night. {Please don’t borrow the photographs without my permission :)}
