Friday Photo: Glorious Fall
Colors this vivid always amaze me.

Friday Photo: Downpour
A humid night in New Orleans, the air thick and sluggish, practically begging to crack open. And it does, sending me to stand under a dripping awning, watching the cars fly by, spraying water every which way. I wait for the tropical deluge to pass, clothes soaking, hair stuck to my face, watching the water level rise in the street. The hard asphalt softens and the rain continues.

Still trying to decompress after returning home from the Gulf…
Last Saturday I found myself on Ship Island, one of the barrier islands of Mississippi that makes up Gulf Islands National Seashore. Beautiful white beaches lined by bright green grass and topped off with bright blue sky. And covered in tar balls and dirty shells. This is the new reality, and as I move forward and work on processing everything that the last ten days entailed, this image is going to be forever etched in my mind.
Friday Photo: Summer Greenery
Early morning on a trail in the high desert. Sun shining through the tree branches. Trail is quiet and dust has yet to fill the air. Sounds of waterfall in the background. Perfect day ahead.
Friday Photo: Glad Midsommar!
It’s Sweden’s official celebration of midsommar this weekend, which is of course leading to major withdrawal symptoms for me. Pickled herring, potatoes and plenty of Aquavit are key players in celebrating the return of the sun during this ultimate of traditions. And of course the never-setting sun. So it’s off to listen to Monica Zetterlund and dream of sitting around a table in the Swedish countryside singing “helan går.”

Sometimes you don’t even need to leave town to get outdoors.
Friday Photo: Botanical Forms
During a recent trip to the Bay Area, I spent a beautiful afternoon in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. I love this space smack dab in the middle of Golden Gate Park, with so many intricate natural forms and lines to be found. The swirl on this plant stuck out in the afternoon sunlight.
Friday Photo: Wine Country
It’s no real shock that Napa Valley real estate prices have sky rocketed; the place is gorgeous. Quiet, simple, serene, and yet not too far from the large metropolis of San Francisco the vineyards and countryside of Napa and its surrounding areas are idyllic. Certainly enough to contemplate picking up everything and making the move to a quaint house with a hillside full of lupins in the backyard.
