Outfit: Refreshing as a Watermelon

Except I don't like watermelon. In fact, I'm one of those weirdos who find themselves gagging after eating a slice. I know how refreshing it is to bite into its crisp, juicy flesh on a hot sweltering day. When no amount of water is able to quench my thirst, especially considering how hot it's been this past week and will be this summer, this is what I want to eat to satisfy my parched throat. Only I'm unable to. I just can't! Believe me, I've tried. While John on the other hand could eat a whole watermelon if he's allowed to. And it looks so incredibly satisfying.

Outfit: Thoughts on Aztec Prints

I've never once thought Aztec prints to be particularly feminine. Not soft and classy, anyway. And while I do like the way it looks on others, it's just not something I can see myself wearing very often. I'm often reminded of my previous job, where we sold numerous Aztec print leggings. They were bright and funky. Some were pretty out there though. You cannot not notice them. Right along that time, Aztec prints were trending everywhere (and still are). All the store and boutiques had some variation of them. They were boho but edgy at the same time. Not your dreamy bohemian but the more grungy/cool fashion you see quite often these days. I associate them a lot of festival wear.

Outfit: Pinstripes & Needles

I get a real kick out of photographing in tight city areas in which it appears as if I'm traversing the countryside. It really is an eye-opener to stumble upon these kinds of places. If you recall my fascination with power lines, you'll understand that I've always wanted to get real close to one. This nursery had a "Private Property" sign posted to the diamond wire gates. Normally, it's locked tight. However, we found it unlocked that day. How lucky, I thought. The gates were swung wide open, beckoning us with a loud and welcoming, "Please come in!". And so we did - only a few feet though. The last thing I wanted to do was to have someone chasing us out with a broom or worse! This is as close as I'll probably ever get.

Outfit: Adventure of a Lifetime

When you’re feeling playful, what better place to be than the playground. This park has undergone extensive renovation. It feels like a campground, which makes sense because for the first time ever, there’s a Girl Scout organization established here now. I’ve shot pictures here a couple of times already in different areas, but never really talked about it. It’s always full of people. I can see why though. It's not very big but it's still quite lovely. Family friendly. A great place for children.
