Impromtu trip

in ,

I think 2/3 of our trips are impromptu. On Sunday morning I can easily jump in the car, drive hundreds miles to explore, to change the place, to discover. I just have to go places.  And  that was the case. I had a slight hope to spot grey whales in Point Dume this year but this treat is still left for future. 

There was I guy who told me he could deal with my Mamiya and take a picture of 3 of us. Well, I guess he can. 

Her daydream was about Unicorns being real. That way we can have one in the stall and she can ride one. 

There were a lot of seals down there making authentic sounds. 

Now is the question where to go next?

Celebrating the friendship. Housewarming winter gathering

Some moments are like sparkles, some make our days, some moments give us a minute to stop and fill us with energy. And nothing can be compared with warm and joyful experience of good friends gathering. 

For three years now my dear friend Alena spend her winter months here in LA, where much warmer weather comparing to other parts of our planet could be still pretty chilly. 

Putting aside our multiple projects and collaborations this year, that day was all about being relaxed and feeling recharged with Alena's special remedies. Homemade ice cream with matcha green tea served with warm fruits and dark chocolate, how does that sound for you? In those moments I think she is a little fairy who's bringing peace and warmth in my soul with her charming cooking passion.
