Painting This Desert Scene

Have a wonderful and safe Halloween everyone!

 

There are a lot of days where I just feel like jumping on a plane and traveling somewhere new.

I Still Believe in Fairy Tales

                 

As long as places like Central Park exist in the world, I'll always believe in stories of magic and        
adventure and castles and princesses.          

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

This past weekend my cousin and I went to Cal Poly Pomona's annual Pumpkin Festival! The place was filled with thousands of pumpkins, not to mention a corn maze, a farmer's market, and all sorts of yummy food stands (yay for kettle corn!). Unfortunately, we couldn't stay that long since I had to work later that morning. But I'm still really glad that we went. I've never been to a pumpkin patch before so it was a new experience for me. Life's all about new adventures :)

Around the Reservoir

On my second day in New York, I spent the morning walking around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis 

Reservoir in Central Park. It was quite a workout! The area was filled with joggers, and I couldn't help but 

envy them. I wish I had a beautiful place like this to go jogging every morning!

The Calm of the Coldest Air

 I haven't been able to stop playing this song ever since I heard it on last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

This photo + that song perfectly describe how I've been feeling all week.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

                

             

Oh how I love the Met!                 

This was my second visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it was even better than the first! It's
impossible to see everything that this museum has to offer in one trip, which is why I had to come back for another adventure through its collections. But I have to say, my favorite part of the Met will always be its Greek and Roman art galleries (this coming from someone who was a classics major in college, haha). If you're a museum-lover like me, then you have to visit the Met at least once in you're lifetime. Trust me, it's an amazing experience.

Remembering 9/11

I was in New York last weeWhile k, I had the privilege of visiting the new 9/11 Memorial in lower 

Manhattan. It was definitely an emotional experience to be standing in the spot where the Twin Towers once stood. I think that I view 9/11 a little differently now that I've actually visited this city and met some of its wonderful people. 

To all of those who lost their lives on that day, you will never be forgotten.
