40/52

With a little less than 12 weeks left in 2014, this "Portrait of Our Life" series has taught me two main things thus far:

1. I have a very lovely life.

and

2. I have no use for my digital SLR, and should probably trade in for a smaller device.

A big part of doing this photo series was to encourage myself to whip that bad boy out more often to document a year in beautiful pictures. But...well...this is only the 3rd post of the ENTIRE YEAR that has been non-iPhone pics.

Le sigh.

A few of my favorites from last Sunday's trip to Half Moon Bay....

1. super foggy morning in hmb...very typical for this area. there's something mystical about this, especially in the hilly landscapes of CA.
2. B exploring the chilly beach
3. his weekly Sunday call with g-ma, his darling grandmother whom I adore. and yea, how cute of a weekly tradition is that?
4. the sun having beaten through the fog, creating a spectacular beach day
5. did you know that just 15 minutes a day in front of a body of water can have life-changing, de-stressing effects on the mind and body? couple that with the benefits of earthing (toes in sand, for you non-hokeys), and these kinds of healthy excursions should be mandatory.
6. mr. bumble bee checking out my mr. B's flippy floppys
7. this kid will jump in any ocean, anywhere, any temperature. he's a salt baby, through and through.
8. big, deep breaths post-dip in the Pacific (even with his eyes shut, he's such a dream....)


In Gratitude,

Trish
