My newest project is gardening. My Grandpa has a huge green thumb so I've wanted to try my hand at it. I've also wanted to spruce up my yard for a while now. Finally I got my Dad to agree to help and we bought some herbs for the back porch and a friend gave us 2 tomato plants for the front. We're starting pretty small but things are going good so far. I'd love to try my hand at planting some blueberries eventually.
While taking these pictures I considered starting a 52 weeks project. I love watching other people take on long term projects but keep putting off trying one myself. I keep thinking up reasons why not to, but I think it would be good for me. I need to continue to push myself. To have deadlines. To think outside the box a little.
I met her at an Instagram meet. She has a beautiful Linus bike that she gave everyone an opportunity to ride and shoot!

I went back down to the Embarcadero for some more sunrise photos. There wasn't a cloud in the sky so it wasn't as impressive as the day before. I took about 50 photos and I loved the set of shots where I shot into the sun. I discovered some love bokeh in this set of shots!

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
She’s walking east to west, and I west to east. It’s a really nice April morning.
Wish I could talk to her. Half an hour would be plenty: just ask her about herself, tell her about myself, and - what I’d really like to do - explain to her the complexities of fate that have led to our passing each other on a side street in Harajuku on a beautiful April morning in 1981. This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock build when peace filled the world.
After talking, we’d have lunch somewhere, maybe see a Woody Allen movie, stop by a hotel bar for cocktails. With any kind of luck, we might end up in bed.
Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart. .

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁
...
One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.
But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
A sad story, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .
