LeRoy Grannis Surf Photography

Recently, I stumbled upon a beautiful coffee table book of surfing photos by LeRoy Grannis.  The book is called LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s.  I just ordered the book online and I can't wait for it to arrive!  LeRoy Grannis was named by the New York Time as the "godfather of surf photography" for his amazing portfolio of surfing and sea images from the 1960's and 1970's.  After a solo trip to a surf camp in Costa Rica two years ago, I have become somewhat obsessed with the sport and the whole surfing culture.  I especially love surfing photography.  Leroy Grannis' images are definitely the best I have found.  See for yourself....

Wednesday's Wise Words (from the Lennon Wall in Prague)

Wise words found on the Lennon Wall in Prague.

FLOWERS in Europe

While I was in Europe, I kept seeing the most vibrant and beautiful flowers I've ever seen.  In each city we visited, I was always shocked by how many amazing flowers there were.  I am definitely a flower girl and absolutely loved seeing all the different kinds of flowers all over Europe.  Here are pictures (some repeats) of the beautiful flowers I saw on my trip.  Don't they make you smile?

European Vacation- Barcelona

Last stop... BARCELONA!  After two and a half weeks we arrived in Barcelona.  This was my first time in Spain and I loved it!  Although I was nervous after hearing about how careful we needed to be, we were very excited to go out and explore.  In Barcelona, we saw the La Sagrada Familia church, ate amazing food (Paella), went to the coolest outdoor food market I have ever seen (Mercat de La Boquiera), strolled along Las Rambles, saw spectacular flowers, did more shopping, and got to see some amazing Antoni Gaudi architecture.  Barcelona was a success and I hope to go back one day.  When I return, you will find me on the beach!  Enjoy the pictures of this amazing city- particularly the food market and an amazing Espadrille store I found called La Manual Alpargatera...

Any Barcelona fans out there?!
