Day 38: Copper Mountain

Day 38: I realize I haven't updated the blog for a couple of days, but this time I have a good excuse. I've been on vacation at the Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado: Skiing, snow and lots of hot tub time (to recover from the day)!

Day 35: Sausalito

Day 35: Sausalito is a little sailing town north of San Francisco. The city's marinas are filled with citizens that live on the water in houseboats and sailboats. I have to say I've never seen a purple houseboat before...

Day 33: Chicken Coop

Day 33: While this photo is certainly not awe-inspiring by any means, I do think it gives everyone a bit of insight into what Berkeley is all about. As if recycling and city-wide composting wasn't enough, several people also have gardens and raise chickens in the very little yard space that they have. This chicken coop sits in a neighbor's front yard. Very trusting if you ask me...

Day 32: Flower

Day 32: This flower was blooming off of a tree. Again, I'm not very well-educated on the names of trees, so if anyone knows the name of this one, I'd love to hear it!

Day 31: Dolores Park

Day 31: Dolores Park is in San Francisco and is crowded with hoards of San Franciscans every weekend drinking beers, playing dodgeball, and just yesterday, there was a crowd of roughly 15 people running in a circle with their hands grasping a single parachute, as if it were 4th grade gym class. Oh how I love this city!

Day 30: My New Favorite House

Okay, so I realize that I've been slacking on the blog posts lately, and I wanted to apologize. I've been very busy, which I know is not a good excuse, but to be honest, I didn't realize that people were reading it as often as I was posting. I've actually received some e-mails—well one e-mail—asking me what happened to my "one photo a day commitment." And to that, I have no answer, except that I'm going to keep trying my best to add a photo a day. In fact, the photo blog has already paid off. The magazine I work for asked me if I would take some photos for them after seeing my portfolio that contained five photos from my photo project. So, I'm certainly not giving up, although I do admit that there will be days where I won't be able to post. But I will always be back, so no worries...

Day 30: This is a new favorite house of mine. It seems like every day I find a new favorite, but this one is going to stay ahead of the game for a while I think.

Day 22: Glass-blowing

Day 22: Here's a photo of Brandon blowing glass on our back patio. Not to be too advertise-y, but if you want to see some of his finished pieces, click here.

Day 21: Golden Gate Bridge

Day 21: Nighttime view of the Golden Gate Bridge with lovely San Francisco in the background.

Day 18: Church in San Rafael

Day 18: This is a photo that I took on Monday on my lunch break in San Rafael. I love the palm tree next to the beautiful architecture.

Day 16: Berkeley Hills Hike

Day 16: Just behind my house in Berkeley is the Berkeley Hills. I've walked my dog up there multiple times, but only about half way. So today my boyfriend, Brandon, and I decided to trek up the entire hill to see what was at the top. Although the trek was a bit grueling, we made it. And the sights we saw were definitely worth it! Above is a view of the bay with some of the wonderful landscaping that ventured off the property of the house below. Sorry, that's actually the guest house, but you get the picture...A quaint little hiking trail.

Berkeley's famous Sather Tower, "The Campanile" and carillon of UC Berkeley.
