Golden Hour Photography Contest

I love Golden Hour. I love looking at Golden Hour pictures. I love taking Golden Hour pictures. Golden Hour at the beach is like double awesome. This picture was taken in Oceanside, CA a few weeks ago.

Looking at my beach pictures, I have a deeeeeeep longing to go back as soon as possible. I know it's only been a few days since I was last there, but the beach feels like a part of my soul (cheeze-alert). I heard the water was really warm at this particular beach. My friend was there two days ago and said it was really nice. 

Beach, I love you.

Golden hour, I love you.

Sunday sunrise

This morning, I captured this picture with my iPod as I got ready.

I love sunsets and sunrises. They leave me in awe and literal breathlessness. God's an awesome artist.

Pictures of Spring

A few days ago, I took my camera outside and I took a few pictures of spring. :)

  Spring isn't my favorite season. Fall is. But spring is beautiful. People always say it's a reminder of new life and new beginnings. 

 Spring is full of beautiful colors. I always think of spring as fresh. 

 Spring is when warmer weather comes, and to some this may be a joy, to me it isn't. I prefer the cooler weather of fall and winter. :)

Spring is a time for playing outside.

 Spring is a time for blowing bubbles. :) Always fun.

 Spring is a reminder of how amazing our God is. How He makes new life.

Spring, is beautiful. :)
Spring is fun.
Spring is here, but not for much longer.
Can you believe it is already May!?!

Oceanside, Ca PART TWO

This is the second part of my Oceanside series. :) This is more of the amazingly beautiful sunsets. I cannot get enough. I literally am mesmerized by the extreme beauty. God is amazing, seriously. How did He think up these things? Oh, yeah, He's God--duh! lol

I love this one, with the surfer.

I literally could NOT look away. My breath was gone. So incredibly beautiful. Pictures cannot even capture it.

Oceanside, California--PART ONE

I've been to Oceanside so many times lately! Such a beautiful place. I'm in love. These pictures are from quite a while ago. I was still on spring break. These are probably 3 weeks old. I am finally posting them. YAY!

First sight of the beach!

It was a nice, sunny day, but the water had to be 50 degrees.

My little brother. :)

The pier.

This giant bird just sat there and let us get super close! 

This seagull also let us get REALLY close to her!

<3 palm trees

Trying to get a jumping silhouette picture. I jumped.

Both of us in the air! :)

The start of the sunsets.

I went photo crazy and took a million sunset pictures. I decided to make a separate post with the rest. The sunset got GORGEOUS. I am talking GOOORRRGGEEEOOOUUSSS!!!

That day was so much fun. :)
