Stay forever grateful it is a wonderful feeling to just let that emotion grow inside you. I love the beauty that surrounds all of us and there still is so much of it we just need to take a minute and actually notice.
I want to capture that beauty and share it; sharing a sign that God is still with us and still has us in His hands. I truly believe He wants us to enjoy life and not to focus on all of the negative. Why else would He create something so amazing?
Images, pictures, photographs can never compete with the experience of actually going somewhere and seeing it for yourself. But there are many artist that come so very close; they draw you in and capture your imagination. Their imagery pushed me out the door to explore those captured moments for myself, a big part of what made me land in California.
I am taking in everything since we moved to Palm Springs. It has such a rich history, so much culture and so many amazing events to enjoy... but yet there is still a wildness that goes along with being located in the desert. What a thrill!

Whenever I feel stressed I try to get to the beach; it clears my mind and just takes away anything that is bothering me.

I seen my first dolphins in the ocean (not in an aquarium) at Long Beach a couple weeks ago and they have been on my mind since. I tried taking a picture but only have a few of just the fin as they are going back into the water (fast little guys.) There were a couple of different pods swimming together throughout the day, it was one of the coolest things I have seen! Since I couldn't get the shot I thought I would share this wonderful set of cards I found with you.
