Begin the new year on the right foot, or the left foot. There is no set standard here.
I chose to begin my new year by setting aside some time to myself to renew and refresh. Thankfully Mother Nature was on my side with a nice cool breeze and a beautiful clear day. So I headed out early in the morning to catch a little sun at my favorite beach before taking the babe out for a little nature hike at Tree Top Park. There are a couple of places on the “I want to hike list”, but sometimes a hike is where and what you make it. It’s my second time shooting at this park and it was no less special than the last time I visited.
I love just being able to thrown on my backpack, put my headphones on and just get to exploring. No expectations, no destination, just taking it all in. After all, the daily grind takes its toll on us all and there is nothing like breathing in some fresh air and exhaling all the bullshit that accumulates throughout our days. Staying cooped up indoors constantly is certainly not recommended by me. The best part about it for me was taking my camera along capturing all those tiny simple, yet special moments I came across while out and about in the “wilderness”.
Interestingly enough, I thought I had taken far more images than what I came home with though in hindsight, quality is far more preferred than quantity. Let’s just say there was not one image I took that did not make me smile when working on them in post. I selected a smaller set of course for this blog post while posting all the captures on my Facebook page. I hope you enjoy them as I did and as always, your feedback is always welcomed and appreciated.
