Happy Holidays from the California coast! I took this photo when I was in Hermosa Beach a few weeks ago while walking along The Strand. What an amazing place to visit for the holidays. Even the palm trees are wrapped with lights. For the full trip click here! http://photogirltravels.com/category/manhattanhermosa-beach-ca/
Last year I attended The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Car Show and was amazed by the beauty of this event. The cars look like jewels lining the California coastline. You can drink champagne and stroll along one of the most famous golf courses in the United States. If you’re planning your travel schedule for 2013, the next one is in August. It’s a fabulous event and I hope you’ll have a chance to experience it at least once!

While I’m writing this blog and looking at this photo, I can’t help but think: “What I wouldn’t give to be there right now!” I took this photo during my trip to the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC. I was having dinner on the outside terrace and I remember that evening well. It was raining, I was wearing my favorite sneakers (since retired), reading a fun book and sipping a glass of wine. (I love when you can have dinner or a glass of wine outside when it’s raining!) The smell of the wet lawn and spring flowers was strong and literally absorbed every stress in my body. Yes, dinner when you’re traveling solo, can be a wonderful experience! Continue reading “It’s a wrap”

I love photographing shadows. I’m sure I drive my friends and family nuts when I see a really good one. I’ll either have them stand / pose or insist that we MUST return to that perfectly lite sidewalk and rewalk the walk. Whether it’s a person or an object, I am constantly fascinated by the visual impact of a shadow. Simply put, a shadow is the creation of darkness through the interception of light. But I think shadows are free-spirited images of ourselves or, the object. Shadows are whimsical, difficult to control, extending this way and that. Sometimes they are bold and elongated out making us feel like tall giants. Other times they are small or cannot be seen. This image was taken as I was walking in the parking lot at Compo Beach in Westport, CT. Anyone know why there was a “mermaid” effect? (PS, if you’re traveling solo, which I hope you will, look for your shadow. Your free-spirited side is always good company.) Click to Follow!
