on LIGHT

all found via pinterest

When I'm curating collections of images for personal inspiration, for blogging or for my work on other blogs, I am always drawn to light. Which makes sense because that's how it is in real life, too.

When I first enter a room, I'm immediately assessing how the light gets in. What are the windows like? When will the sun be there to spend time with me? I thrive off of light, and have to have it.

When I meet a new person, it's the same thing. Where's the light? How do they shine? What lights them up? (Does anybody else do this? Is it really just me?) There's something about seeking out the light within someone, while seeking out the light in the natural world, that fuels me.

Summer is slowly starting to descend, and as it does, I'm trying to soak up as much light, sun, time outdoors, water, sand, relaxing, and summer-only things that I can. And I'd surely spend any of these summer days in any of these spaces.

ON Booker & Bugsy

booker & bugsy are brothers.

booker is tan & white & floppy, and says hello to every person/horse that passes.

bugsy is black with white accents, and is pretty nervous at first, but that smile comes out.

they weren't always brothers but when booker's folks found bugsy, that was that.

booker & bugsy love to hike. they just love it so very much.

and last weekend, they let me & cameron come along! lucky ducks, we are.

we made friends with a pup who lives there on the ranch, and we saw horses. so many horses.

and booker scared me half to death as he ran down, down, down the sides of the hills,

but pups are adventurous, you know, when they need to run downhill, they must!

when we turned a corner, there in front of us was the hollywood sign, so close,

and out of my mouth came the words: "that's for me!" because, well, it is.

the pups stole the show but cameron is pretty neat, too. he tells really great stories.

sometimes they are in person and sometimes they are on screen but they are always neat.

cameron is one of those people who i thought i'd see once, maybe twice, in life,

but then instead he became one of my most favorite people and has fully invaded my life.

along with his entire extended family. which is exactly how i like it! he is something special, that one.

these types of adventures are exactly what saturdays are made for :)
