2011 Leftovers

A few random leftovers from this year: 1. A fruit stand at Cal Poly Pomona's pumpkin festival 2. Christmas tree lights 3. An extra photo from this shoot 4. The visitor center at Storm King 5. Lumpia (yum!) 6. The amazing Mille Crepe Cake from Lady M Confections in New York 7. A view from the High Line 8. Art at The Met.

I thought that I wouldn't have time to make another post before the new year, but lo and behold, here I am! Oh 2011, you were a learning experience to say the least. But I cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for me. My new year's resolution is to make changes for the better. What's yours?

Happy New Year's everybody!

On a Bed of Roses

If I die young,          

Bury me in satin.          

Lay me down on a bed of roses.          

Sink me in the river, at dawn.          

Send me away with the words of a love song.          

Lately, I cannot get enough of "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry.          

Walking the High Line II

Walking the High Line

Let's be honest. If I had a few extra hundred dollars lying around, I'd be on the next flight back out to New York by the end of this month. I think that New York City has become a sort of escape for me. These photos were shot at the High Line, a former rail line on Manhattan's West Side that was later converted into an elevated park. It's a photographer's dream! The architectural designs, the landscaped pathways, the variety of plant life...all of it! I'll have to post more photos soon so you can see what I mean. But trust me, if you're ever in New York, the High Line is definitely worth a visit!

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.          

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 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.
