My favorite day of the week, the day to explore<3 It was a very cold day today so I made sure to bundle up while also rocking my amazing new Amity shirt<3 We headed out to a further away location to get some great shots. It worked out well because by the time we got there, it was the golden hour! How perfect! I love when I happen to catch it, it is the only time I don't hate the sun. It was gorgeous today! Although it was very cold, it was a very fun and enriching walk. I felt so peaceful and relaxed afterwards. Here are some of the shots...

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write this. Probably because I had a whole nice post written out and it got deleted by my phone and I was pretty pissed off. Anywayyyyy....I decided to finally get my tattoo that I have been waiting to get for awhile after the hike. I went into the shop and found out I could get it that night at 9pm. Woah I was nervous. We had a few hours to kill so I decided I needed a good meal beforehand and went to Chilis. 9pm rolled around and it was time to rock. We had to wait a bit in the shop for everything to be set up and such. Mom and I got high kicks out of the weird flash tattoos that were in the books. Let's just say there were some robot on human action tattoos in there. Haha. The tattoo itself did not hurt really at all and turned out amazing. Here is a few shots :) A special thanks to The Amity Affliction for giving me such inspirational words that help me get through the days!
Yesterday was quite the eventful day which is why I broke it into two sections so each part of the day gets its own proper attention. When I woke up I did not feel like doing anything at all. I had such a hard time getting going but the weather said it was foggy so I had to get out. I looked out the window and didnt see anything so I was kinda bummed. Once we got driving to the park it was foggy as hell. YESSSSSSSS. If you know me, you know that fog is my favorite thing in life to shoot. It was very cold yesterday but I didnt care and had to get my fog photos while I could. Here they are:
Today I felt like I needed to see some beautiful creatures so we headed to woods that are known to have lots of deer around. We haven't had much luck as of late but considering it is rutting season we decided to test our luck once again. Before we went on the hunt we stopped by the water to appreciate the rough waves that were rolling into the rocks. I love to watch the rough creepy water in the winter even though it awakens my nightmares of drowning. Too damn cold by the water...off to the deer! The first bunch of deer were not close enough to get a lot of good photos of so we decided to keep moving and find some more. Yay there were some more deer within shooting range ;) Score. After photographing the deer and hearing mom squeal over their cuteness we decided to head to the woods for a walk. By the time we got inside the sun had set. It was pretty cool walking in the dark not knowing how many animals were staring at us that we were oblivious to. All in all, it was a pretty nice adventure although a bit chilly. Can't wait for the next adventure.
Until next time...... Yippeeeeee! My favorite day of the week. Let me tell you, sleeping in after waking up at 5am all week makes Saturday amazing all on it's own. I had the best sleep ever. Willow was so thrilled to have me stay in bed with her all morning and not leave her cold and alone. I got up around 1pm and had a nice petting session w the lil shit and eventually got out of bed. Mom and I wanted to do something a little different for our Saturday so we decided to go see the moos<3 My babies<3 Unfortunately the MAN had most of the areas closed because they like to RUIN everyone's fun. However, we still got to see some adorable and sweet babies! I was so excited when I saw this COW PATTERN PIG!!!!!!!!! We kept trying to call it in typical animal voices with kiss sounds that didn't work. So I decided to yell PIGGGGGGGGG in a screamo voice and the pig came running over. That's my kinda pig. Now onto see some handsome stud cows being lazy ass hell<3 This little lady was one of the few cows that you could get access to at time and she was more than happy to take up all of the attention! She was quite thrilled to suck my fingers and eat my coat zipper lol. One cow was not enough for me so I had to find a way to access more of my pretty babies, We got into the milking barn and got to see the big milk babies<3 so cute! After seeing the pretty cows and being pretty bummed I couldn't get to more, I remembered my deep need to pet random kitties so I searched for barn kitties to love<3 While on the prowl for other kitties I paid a visit to all of the other sweet babies in the barn. The sheep were SO plush and soft. This lil guy was such a sweetie and loved the attention we gave to him<3 And who could resist baby fuzzy donkeys? Now it is time to appreciate a couple of badass beasts who could destroy you in a second.... BACK TO OPERATION PET RANDOM KITTIES!!!!!!! I can always get kitties to come to me, probably because of my amazing charm and all LOL. This kitty let me get about four strokes before telling me to fuck off.. Still unsatisfied I decdided to follow the general direction this cat went and found the kitty hang out spot. Muahaha. All around it was a good visit to see all of these furry babies. It never gets old and I will never tire of petting random kitties.
Until next time....... I just got done editing 500+ photos so my brain is a little fried to write a full post. Enjoy some randoms I've edited the last few days. God I just love fog. It is my favorite thing ever.
Another Saturday, that means another adventure! Yippee! Mom and I headed off to a new location with excitement. The car rides are always amazing, nothing I love more than blasting good music and hanging with my best friend :) It was a hike to get there but it was so worth it. Trying to find some hiking trails was a bit confusing but when we did we were amazed. As soon as we began, I noticed this beauty, ruler of the forest! I was in awe and spent probably around 45 minutes trying to capture its dominance. These pictures don't even do it justice but you can get the jist. I loved it and I will be back to photograph it again! There were so many interesting plants and giant trees which made my soul so warm especially with all of the pretty fall colors. I was super excited that we arrived at the park later on in the day because then I got to capture the golden hour and oh man was it gorgeous. I did not want to leave this place. So much beauty! It was also exciting for Mom and I to really test out our phone cameras in all of the beauty. They did not disappoint and we never lost service wooo<3 Amazing difference from before. Everything smelled so fresh and had that amazing fall smell. I couldn't get enough of the clean and leafy air. Nothing compares to a walk in the woods on a fall evening. Mom was obsessed with this tree and how it split into 5 different trees further up. I however, was more entertained by the fact that the tree had a massive dong. Hahahahahha. As seen in the photo above. As the sun got lower it was time to capture some beautiful sunset shots that I am very proud of. I had fun showing Mom how to position to get the coolest shots with the sun and leaves in the frame. Here are a few of my favorites! Near the end of our hiking adventure we finally found a spot to get down by the water so Mom didn't have to cry that she didn't get to touch it. It was breathtaking down there. I kept saying "I wanna live here." Mom was having fun looking at little minnows while I snapped away. I hope all of you can feel the warmth and amazement in these photos as we did while seeing it in real life. We hung out here until the sun had set and then we needed to figure out something to eat because we were starved. Our original idea got destroyed when the place was closed early ;( so I pulled out my GPS and looked for something else. We decided we were gonna head to Potbelly but we did not know that it was in downtown Ann Arbor...ughhhh. It was so much worse because the Michigan game had let out not too long before. It was a madhouse down there. We finally found a place to park which was miles away from Potbelly so that was out. We sat in the car and looked around and I noticed a girl sitting down on a stump. Then suddenly she took her pants off and was stumbling around naked. People on the street just ignored her as she fell over bare assed. We were about to get out and help her or call someone when a few good citizens stopped and helped her. Its disgusting how many people just walked past. Yes, it was stupid she was that hammered, but at that point she needed help before some sick bastard got ahold of her. After that fiasco was over we walked down the street and got a very interesting sub at a pizza place. It was surprisingly very good. The weirdness of the night would continue however. When we were almost home, I saw a lady in her van driving while snuggling an unwrapped cheeseburger to her cheek. Yes I am sure it was a burger. Weird weird weird. People never fail to amaze me. All in all it was an amazing and memorable day! Can't wait for another...
Until next time....... Let's see.....where were we? Ah yes we were exiting the first viewing balcony! This place was so fascinating to me because there were so many types of trees and life around. So different from what is growing at home! It's exciting for me to see different trees as trees are my love. Speaking of which, lets appreciate this one... And it just kept getting better and more beautiful! I loved this place so much it had everything I loved to photograph! It was so peaceful and quite here, just us and nature and thats how I like it! That's how I would like to live always! And someday I will. Away from all the annoying people of society, no social media, no customers oh yes it will be heaven. As we walked further down the path we stumbled across a few waterfalls! I was so excited I spent over 45 minutes photographing the first one. Which included me climbing, sliding and jumping to get to the top to photograph it from a different perspective. I do what I have to do to get the shot! My beautiful shot I worked so hard to get! I love it. You rarely see falls from this perspective so I am proud of it. Well, that is all for now! Part 3 will be coming soon :)
Until then..... Oh my favorite day of the week :) Mom, Chris and I decided to make a day trip up north to a place Chris had discovered last weekend. I was excited of course to go up north and go somewhere totally different. It sure didn't disappoint, which is part of the reason this post will be broken down into parts. I have too many awesome pictures to fit into one post. So here we go with what I've gotten done today! My feet enjoying some fresh air and freedom from feet prison aka shoes. Our first stop was a place we were scoping out to do some star photography later on that night. We stopped there and enjoyed some fresh air and the water for awhile before hitting the road again. After this we kept heading toward our second destination but hit some beautiful and interesting spots along the way. First we ran into a store that also had several intersting animals in enclosures out front. I of course was infatuated with the BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIC foxes. pffftttt....I'm not crying from their cuteness, who is crying? After I stopped having a heart attack over the foxes, we took off for next destination. This place was beyond beautiful and I will only show you the beginning of it in this post. First of all let me say..HOLY STAIRS!!!!! So many stair to go down/up. It is soooo worth the work out though. This was the first of a few viewing balconies. It was so peaceful and breathtaking except for the stupid other people there talking about how some guy splatted on their car from a building. Classy thanks for sharing douche bags. Anyways...back to the beauty I'll have to leave you with these beautiful photographs for today. More tomorrow I promise ;)
