Playful at Southern Hill Fall

Sunflowers makes me happy. I was looking for a place to take a self-portrait for a photography class. I am usually never in front of the camera but this time I did not have a choice. My assignment was to be able to represent who I am.

Sunflowers are always facing the sun, they look for light. I am always looking for light in my life, happiness, positivity and beauty. When I say beauty I mean beauty in life. The image above is the one I used for my assignment. I decided to cover part of my face, like wearing a mask because it is what we are living right now.

A Stroll Through Florida Woods

One afternoon, not far from home we went for a walk at Lake Louisa State Park. It was our first time here even though this place is like five minutes away from home. Sometimes the best treasures are in front of you. Take a look…

Can you see the Pileated Woodpecker?

On the Move

The only way of getting things done, and get where you want to be, is by moving yourself from the comfort zone. XM

“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody.

Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”

― Anthony Bourdain
