AND NOW, FOR NOTHING IN PARTICULAR






"Not all who wander are lost."
I really thought I could make it without the triangles, BUT NO! Never will my love for triangles in blog posts be quenched. So my geometry loving friends, enjoy the last tidbits of NYC with a touch of triangle. You know it's good for you.

▲▲ Nice light in Chelsea Market! Also, my new lens is dreamy, almost to the point of being too dreamy if that's possible. I'm still learning the ropes, but so far I'm in love.


▲▲ These succulents at Chelsea Market - oh my! Of course, I had to stop and say hi, because I am friends with succulents all over the world. Also, my cactus died, but that is for another time. A time of mourning, of course.

▲▲ To anyone who will go to New York in the next million years....GO TO B&H PHOTO! It is like Santa's workshop on steroids with conveyer belts bringing camera goodies everywhere and little Jewish elves running to and fro. And, I got to use a $3000 camera so my day was made.


 "No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow."
I am so grateful traveling is an option for me. I am so grateful that I get to see different places and new faces. Also, for my rhyming talents which are off the charts. Traveling is my favorite - I'm so glad I get to do it.

Thanks NYC for having me, you really are a charmer.

And now, where to next?

It would be a shame to miss New York at Christmas

I am by no means a New Yorker. I am yet to master the skill of staring at nothing for far too long. I get giggly crossing streets and the amount of eye contact I make is miserable. I keep my head up. Their heads are down. Of course it makes sense. You live in a city. Every day you see this skyscraper and that coffee shop with the artsy logo till they all become a blur. It gets old, fast.

But even If I was a New Yorker, if I wore a black coat and lived in a top floor apartment,
Even if I lived in the city for a thousand years, I honestly don't think I could ever get sick of seeing New York at Christmas.




Nope, Never.

Of Heaven and New York and how they are related.

 

I have been putting off blogging, and writing more specifically for a month. A MONTH! Time is such a weird thing really, but anyway. I love blogging, I love this blog, but sometimes I don't want to blog. And if that makes sense to you then I would worry for your life. Because it makes sense to me and well....!

But now, I am here! To tell you about the magic of being 16. I don't know what happened, but something clicked in me. I'm not in limbo anymore I guess, that awkward stage of knowing you are a kid but really wanting to be older. 16 feels like "YES! I can do this!" As a result, I am much more aggressive in craft stores. And I smack my gum a little louder,  Just to let you know that I'm 16 now.

And when you turn 16, you do logical things. Like go to New York City, of course! New York is nice. But New York at Christmas? That is heaven. And if I was in heaven then that probably means I have been upgraded to Angel status, right?

For further proof, see my halo...

 Okay maybe not. It was a nice thought!

I feel as though these photos could be easily twisted into something far more poetic with a few heartfelt quotes and maybe a sad acoustic song. Thank goodness I am not the type for that! 

More coming your way....

16 AGAIN!

Well as of a few days ago, you are now speaking with a 16 year old! Such Magic! Such Joy!

So, it's not really that exciting. But at the same time, it's kind of thrilling!

Anyway, this calender is the greatest and New York is on my mind. Cheers!

Blue Ridge and Hockey thoughts (clearly related!)

HMMM....how cliche is this? Let me use this inspiring photo and make a complete left turn: HOCKEY! Our 2nd night, we went to a hockey game at Liberty and...GOOD GRAVY, HOCKEY IS THE GREATEST! I actually walked in thinking I was gonna cry (it seemed to be the thing that trip, ya know?)  It was loud and cold and LOUD. But lo and behold, hockey is the bestest! The brawling, oh my. I have never before taken delight (or even interest!) in grown men fighting but apparently, it's quite enjoyable. Anyway, left turn. Backtracking to autumnal things....

▲▲ Blue Ridge ya'll. And what is it about fall that makes me say ya'll? Rhyming, I guess, but then, I digress.

I'll stop now.

Oh, and thank you blogger for making my pictures blurry! So sweet of you!

▲▲ Clearly, I have mastered the art of looking scenic, whatever that is.



X and O's to infinity for you Fall (or let me be hipster, AUTUMN.) And if I were really hipster, I would be saying this whilst drinking a pumpkin latte or whatever those are. But I destest drinking wood, so hot chocolate for me!

HEY FALL, NICE TO MEET YOU.

Oh Fall!

To be quite honest, this trip was miserable. Now hear me out, it wasn't ALL miserable, of course! Therefore, I will only be highlighting the non miserable parts, and you will wind up thinking I had a magical time, ALL the time! And go ahead and think that if you like. It's probably a lot prettier of a thought than me bawling in Panera.

No joke.

On a side note, I was wearing waterproof mascara, so all was well!

But FALL....Fall is beautiful. Seeing the trees change, and the air beginning to chill, it always reminds me that God is a VERY loving God. He gave us Fall to enjoy, to frolic in, to take pictures of. Yes, and even to cry alligator tears in Panera! Fall is full of good things, if I'm willing to look.

Now, on to the fun!

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”
