O'Melveny Park Hike

It's CHRISTMAS DAY today!

My brother and I spent some quality time together today by hiking!
I initially dragged him out of the house to go for a leisurely walk through O'Melveny park, but of course he had other plans in mind!

We ended up hiking about 4 or 5 miles from the entrance of the park
to the top of a completely different hill!

Here are a few photos from the hike that are my personal favs.

I cleaned up after him I promise...

We couldn't go any farther there was an iron gate

That's it for this one! Peace out!

San Francisco, CA December/2009

San Francisco is a beautiful place! I love the architecture of the homes and I love the public transportation there!

I went to San Fran the weekend I got back from Australia. So I was jet lagged as all get up. But I got to see the Golden Gate bridge for the first time ever!! The reason I actually went up to San Fran was not to just mess around the city it was for dance competitions! It was all around a great trip!

Thanks to Phillip for showing us around a bit!

Panorama of the Golden Gate Bridge


At one of the stops we made to get different view of the bridge this was the bottom of the hill


I was messing with the settings on my camera and I LOVE how this one turned out!


The Exploratorium with reflection and all. I've always had trouble getting reflection shots that I actually liked... Glad I was able to get this one!

Melbourne, Australia December/2009

As I'm sure most of you looking at this blog have realized is that I recently went to Melbourne, Australia.


Now I didn't take many pictures that are by any means breath taking, but I took a few that I'm quite proud of.

Without further delay.....

I made this flower in the sand with my feet. I love the placement of the people and how they're all looking at the flower.


This picture was taken on my Cellular Telephone. Sunset at St. Kilda beach


This was the same place as before taken trying to use different settings on my camera... I think it turned out pretty well.


I love the panorama shots I have to admit. This is in the city of Melbourne at a river there.

Why the new blog??

Well I've decided that I need to take more pictures... Pictures document the good and the bad in life.

I've always wanted to get more into photography, this is a pretty good way to practice... actually have something to try to take good pictures for right??

Here are some random pictures that I've found in my collection in 15 minutes that I really like...

This is a beach out in Ventura... taken with my old Cellular Telephone pretty good for a cell phone...


This is a picture of my friend's Marshall and Blake I love how the light naturally silhouetted the two of them talking.


I took this picture because a friend told me the positivity makes the biggest difference in life.


This was hiking in American Fork Canyon back in 2008. Just snapped it.


This is of the Delicate Arch. One of my favorite places in the world.
