#SundayStills: #Birds from the Road Trip


As it’s been a relatively mild winter, I’ve seen birds come and gone from my backyard, probably looking for food. I watched them peck at my perennials and leave shortly after, probably disappointed that there’s nothing for them despite the plants are alive and green.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #284: Day and Night


Happy Sunday! Sophia of Photographias is hosting this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. In her post, she showed photos that illustrated the cycle of day and night. I’m not an avid night photographer because of my astigmatism, which renders me partially blind in the night hours, but I do hope to show a similar progression of the photos I took on my road trip.

#SundayStills: Monthly Color Challenge – Aquamarine Waters


The color aquamarine reminds me of the color of water but at the same time, aquamarine isn’t the color of water, it’s a blue with a bit of green mixed into it.

#SundayStills: Views from a #Window


Having been stuck at home for the long Martin Luther King Jr’s Day weekend because of the week-long snowstorm, I found myself with little to do. Actually, there’s lots to do – read a book, write a story, refresh blog, clean the house, etc. – but I just couldn’t bring myself to do any of it. Instead, I spent the weekend in Lightroom, looking for pictures to edit.

Christmas Road Trip Day 4


After a week of unrest caused by those dumb scammers, I finally slept without dreams or nightmares – from 7 PM to 5:30 AM. Oh, Merry Christmas to me, by the way, as it was Christmas on that day.

Christmas Road Trip Day 3


This is the day when I would part ways with my aunt and uncle on this trip as they would be heading home while I continued my journey.

Christmas Road Trip Day 2


Day 2 was another early start as the emotional nightmares caused by the scammers continued to terrorize me, resulting in another sleepless night. My Fitbit told me I only had 4-and-a-half hours of sleep the night before and again that night. That would mean I only had about 9 hours of sleep in two days.

#SundayStills: #Textures in Toshodaiji Temple, Nara, Japan


As I sort and edit the nearly 1,000 photos I took on my trip to Japan, I feel like I’m experiencing Japan all over again as I find the story behind each photo. My favorite photos have so far been the nature photos.

#SundayStills: Animals and #Fences


As I sit here in my cold bedroom writing this post, I realized, I haven’t explored anywhere new in Utah this year. Usually, I would usually go to at least one place I either never been or haven’t been in a while each year.
