Jeremy holds handfuls of shells he scoured off the bottom of the seafloor. Can you spot the sea creature?
I went back to the Renaissance Festival this year! The last time I went I think I was either 19 or 20, back in college. Things haven’t really changed! The characters are amusing, the shows spectacular, and the random medieval wares enticing.
This lamb, is it not adorable?
This guy had the coolest tattoos. Also a flaming whip!
These were my favorite festival characters! A wonderful pair of gargoyles!
An old glassblower treated us to some amazing handmade ornaments.
And I actually bought one of these shoulder pets. No pictures of it yet, but I will be debuting the fella for Dragon*Con this year!
This guy has a face made for a mask…. ;P
One thing Florida is wonderful for is sunsets. Clouds oddly shaped by boisterous winds adorn golden linings in the evening hours.
Miramar beach : crowded in the most pleasant way, made it a people watching goldmine. Kites, sandcastles, and lovers walking hand in hand framed the spectacular sunsets. The crab hunters came out at the end of the day and the scene was altogether stunning.
The sunset at it’s most golden state, with the sun still in the sky and the sands glowing bronze.
The sun has disappeared beneath the horizon, leaving strips of gold and blue, like chrome on a new car.
The sun is gone, the colors darken, and it’s just perfect timing for some crab hunting.
Ajay and Gopika pose romantically for me. The city lights are all on now, and the sun is just a glowing presence on the underbellies of the clouds.
This summer is just full of beaches. It’s not even the end of June yet! My mum, brother, Jeremy and I collected all these little live clams on the Myrtle Beach Shore. Isn’t nature amazing? Each little life is an artistic expression. Can’t wait to frame these!
This is the second weekend I’m finding myself in a wonderful condo on a beach. This time, instead of Destin, I’m at Myrtle Beach! We scored a sweet 3 bedroom condo on the 15th floor. It’s oceanfront and ocean view and as an added bonus, it is a corner unit. I totally love it. I’m going to try to be awesome and be up at 5:30am tomorrow to shoot some of the sunrise. I know it’s 1 am now and that I may just snooze til I lose but I’m going to try!
Myrtle beach at night is haunting. The waves are lapping at the shore and people are crab hunting at midnight. Tomorrow night I’ll be among the crustacean chasing masses!

Jeremy and I encountered an interesting pelican this weekend while traipsing around Florida. He was playing cute at first.. so I thought..
But as soon as we tried to take a picture with him he showed us his true colors!
What a jerk!
Oh well, I got a good shot out of it, so fair’s fair. :)
I had the privilege of shooting a beautifully decorated event this weekend. Teal and green combined with the romantic pinks gave the room some pop. 
We have started populating our deck with plenty of flowers and plants. One of my favorites is this Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana, which is not only easy to take care of, but beautiful as well. It’s perfect for a home with two working people in it! :)
Orange blooms are gorgeous!

Since the cold is all gone, the animals have come out in large numbers. This toad on our deck perplexed us as our deck has no access from the ground. He must have walked up our house?
And the common squirrel, still thin from winters sleep, watching out for the new spring surplus.
