...at a loss for words!

have you ever tried to describe a wonderful experience to someone
right after it happened and the right words just won.t come?
that.s how i am feeling about my little weekend 
in carpinteria, california with kolleen.
so
i think i.ll just sit with it for now.
let it settle.
and share when i.ve had time to digest the wonder of our time together.
in the meantime...
i.ll share the story through my lens!
{love you k!}

  2. Hi Friend! I love Carpinteria, I went there every year to camp growing up. We rode our bikes everywhere, so fun!

    I am sure you must have nurtured your soul, and if anyone deserves that, it is you, the woman with the biggest heart of anyone...

  3. your gorgeous photos tell the story beautifully! sometimes it's hard to express our most spectacular heart-moments....besides, who needs words when you have red and blue nail polish to paint on your toes.....and sand to sit on while being lulled by the sound of ocean waves......and artsy stuff to create.....and chocolate to eat (my favorite is dark, straight from belgium, what's yours?!!) SO happy for you that you had a fabulous time!!! xox, :))

  7. gifts from the sea.
    the tide rolls in.
    toe nail polish.
    a magic wand
    that makes hearts appear
    where ever you look.
    paint to create
    what ever your heart desires.
    love. connection.
    the humility of saying
    thank you to a gift
    clearly from beyond this world.
    i am so heartstruck
    by your photos
    & beachhappy for you
    & dear kolleen.
    i send a big hug
    to your friendship
    & dance with ribbons
    around your twenty toes!

  9. Words, schmwords. . who needs them all the time anyway? This post was absolutely perfect. I got an amazing picture of your trip. Looking at them, my one resounding thought was: "Can I come along next time?". Looks like a wonderful rejuvy time. I especially loved the sneakers on the doormat. For some reason that picture really brought home the gist of your vacation . . . I'm so glad for you and will look forward to hearing {or seeing} more about it. : )

  10. The photos speak volumes, laid back, creating, enjoying each others company, art dates and
    snacking! I love the feel and tone you evoke!
    Sometimes photos say it best, when words, can't
    always express the meaning of these rare moments!
    Pure Joy is what I see~

  16. just perfect. as others have said (and you too!), sometimes words get in the way and detract from the beauty and simplicity of what is. here they are not needed and it's obvious from reading all these comments that everyone totally gets it!
