Sunrise, Sunrise

Good morning!

This morning I woke up at 6 a.m., threw on jeans, fleece, jacket and boots and drove out to the coast to watch the sunrise over the Pacific and give my new little camera a trial run. Yep, she works just fiiiiiine.

You’d be proud of me—no flash! I still don’t really know what I’m doing but I shot in Av mode instead of the green manual one. The opportunities are endless!

I took my breakfast with me! Homemade pumpkin bread (made this yesterday, forgot to tell you!) with almond butter, yogurt and half a banana from the fridge.

Photos honestly don’t do it justice. I’ve been practicing yoga now for almost 9 years and just now do I really feel like I’m starting to actually be present. Sometimes, just breathing is enough.

I stuck my hand in the Pacific for the first time….IT WAS FREEZING!

And when I got home, MY BOOKS were sitting on my doorstep waiting for me! My mom figured out that if you said books through the post office rather than UPS, it’s only $12 per box. So, I started listing titles of all my favorites + cookbooks to fill up my little shelf.

Yesterday I was super productive since I was basically forced to sit at home all afternoon and wait for the UPS man to come since I had to sign for my camera. I got all my freelance articles done and a big chunk of emails out of the way. Today my goal is to find a Halloween costume for the winery’s party tomorrow night!

Be back!
