I noticed the moon as I was on my way to bed. I was tired, but I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass me by. grabbed the camera, grabbed the tripod, flung the back door open and despite flagging energy levels, I did manage to grab a couple of non-blurry shots and posting one because 2 would be repetitive. :-p

Feed your hunger for travel, learning, and adventure and recruit others to join you as you broaden your horizons.
“No changing of place at a hundred miles an hour will make us one whit stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace”
–Ruskin
"He loved mountains, or he had loved the thought of them marching on the edge of stories brought from far away."

"What we find exotic abroad may be what we hunger for in vain at home" —The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost." 🌲

“What, then, is a travelling mind-set? Receptivity might be said to be its chief characteristic. Receptive, we approach new places with humility. We carry with us no rigid ideas about what is or is not interesting. We irritate locals because we stand in traffic islands and narrow streets and admire what they take to be unremarkable small details. We risk getting run over because we are intrigued by the roof of a government building or an inscription on a wall”

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." —John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”

"The mythologies we ascribe to, whether consciously or unconsciously, determine how we measure, reflect on, and make sense of our experiences.
We must take responsibility for deriving meaning from our life experiences, our relationships, and our place in the cosmos as a whole — and it's up to us, each, as individuals, to create for ourselves our own personal code, to become our own heroes, and embark again on a fresh exploration"
“Curiosity might be pictured as being made up of chains of small questions extending outwards, sometimes over huge distances, from a central hub composed of a few blunt, large questions. In childhood we ask, ‘Why is there good and evil?' ‘How does nature work?' ‘Why am I me?'
If circumstances and temperament allow, we then build on these questions during adulthood, our curiosity encompassing more and more of the world until at some point we may reach that elusive stage where we are bored by nothing.” — Alain De Botton, The Art of Travel
"Humans have been crossing deserts by camel for millennia, sailing seas for a thousand years, climbing mountains for a hundred—the sky is the last great terra incognita for adventurers.." #✈️

September is perfect for new beginnings. Typically January is the beginning of the year, but for me September always feels like New Year.

JUST A HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎈
I love having the freedom to be so candid and unfiltered in my photos now, just more personal. 💞 Life these days is exciting, and filled with inspiration, fulfilling work, and no pressure. 🌈⛅️
~My personal thoughts/notes on being a year older...
• Notice moments of love and bits of beauty in your everyday life 🍃✨
• All mornings should start with good coffees and great companion ☕️🌄
• Wellness means feeling good physically, mentally and emotionally; happiness, confidence, loving your life and what you’re doing in the world. And having a strong support network—it’s hard to be healthy without that!! 🌎️✨
Happy 2016-2017 one and all •
i have a new favorite polaroid... i "borrowed" it from my mom - and i finally got the proper film for it. (i just have to work out the focus - you can't see what you are focusing on - it's all an estimation.)

"The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.
The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color." — Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting
