Long and Short of It

Monday, August 13, 2012

On this beautiful morning, it was just me (and my camera and tripod) at this scenic spot. I was in a rush, so I didn't get a chance to stay long. Next time though, I'll be back with breakfast in hand (eating has a way of slowing down time for me) and truly enjoy my surroundings.

Have a great Monday!

  10. I love your casual chic look, Cee! I always get excited to find new spots for blog photos. Thank you so much for your awesome gift. Little C enjoys writing/drawing/coloring so much (art is her favorite subject at school). You couldn't have picked a better gift for her =)

    1. Oh believe me, the awkwardness will probably never go completely away. I've gotten a bit more used to propping up the tripod in public with time :) I prefer to take photos in the mornings during the summer and in the afternoons in the winter. Most of the time it's just whenever I'm not in a rush though.
