Random Kaua’i | On the move

I’m back from Kaua’i. Sigh.

We flew back to Cali on Monday. Yes, quite some days but I haven’t had a spare second to update this blog. Between catching up with emails and returnig phone calls, updating clients’ orders, prenatal visits and looking for a pediatrician for our soon to be born baby… days have gone by really quickly.

Today, while organizing folders and downloading all the images shot during our little vacation I picked some random ones to edit and share.
I didn’t take many pictures though, I was ‘focused’ on enjoying our last vacation before the baby comes and I must say we feel so much more relaxed right now. It was a much needed vacation.

All (or almost) of the following images were randomly taken while Markino and I went geocaching (go on geocaching.com if you don’t know what I’m talking about) around the island. We spent most of our time there driving around and looking for this tech ‘treasures’ as I could barely stand the heat under the sun (despite my limited sun exposure by the pool I am about 5-6 shades darker now than when I got there! yes, I tan very easily).

On of the last caches we found on the island, a couple of hours before heading to the airport, was at the Waimea Canyon Lookout. The place offered breathtaking views.

A gorgeous lizard.

This bird seemed fake, he didn’t move a bit… exception made for the eyes which kept rolling to follow Markino and me.

On our way to the next geocache! Renting that Jeep was the best thing we ever did!

My brand new grey Converse after a day of geocaching in tons of red dirt… picture taken right before getting ready to head to the airport. I, the 7 months pregnant lady, ended up doing all the travel on my high wedged sandals! I’ll let you imagine how comfortable it was… but there was no way for me to go around in muddy converse (trust me, the picture doesn’t do justice, neither does it show how the dirt ended up inside and onto my white socks… and I won’t even start talking about my jeans).

Weekend at the Half Moon Bay

October 31st, 2008

So, I’m a little behind with blogging… I’m such a bad blogger. I’ve just been lazier that ever about posting lately. Last weekend Markino and I went to spend an afternoon at the Halfmoon Bay. Gorgeous sunny day (I can’t believe I was wearing a summery dress at the end of October, this is my [...]

 

So, I’m a little behind with blogging… I’m such a bad blogger. I’ve just been lazier that ever about posting lately.

Last weekend Markino and I went to spend an afternoon at the Halfmoon Bay. Gorgeous sunny day (I can’t believe I was wearing a summery dress at the end of October, this is my first fall/winter in Cali)… and I got a couple of shots.

And as we were a little hungry, got a bite here:

I love textures!!

How come I look so tired everytime lately???

Markino eating a Shrimp Cocktail:

I couldn’t resist this one, I love old cars!!!

Carmel by-the-sea part I

June 22nd, 2008

Yesterday was a really hot day here in the Bay Area, so me and my husband decided to drive to Carmel. Lucky for us the weather was getting cooler as we drove south (at a certain point, I think somewhere near Gilroy it even started raining). Here are some pictures from the day… Still driving, [...]

 

Yesterday was a really hot day here in the Bay Area, so me and my husband decided to drive to Carmel. Lucky for us the weather was getting cooler as we drove south (at a certain point, I think somewhere near Gilroy it even started raining).

Here are some pictures from the day…

Still driving, shot from the car window (at 70mph :P)

Look at the sky:

My precious better half didn’t wanna come anywhere near the sand…

But when I INSIST, I can be very convincing!!

Looks like EVERYBODY has a dog in Carmel…

Crazy couple inside the freezing cold waters :O

And… this is me…

I’m the worst model ever. I can’t stand people taking pictures of me. Maybe that’s why I chose to stay behind the camera :)

As I was saying, there were A LOT of dogs around… some of them came pretty close, but this one managed to leave humid proof of presence on Markino’s T-shirt.

We had a look at the shops too. Here’s some window glamour/retro flare.

And an car-antenna buddy :P

I’d love to shoot a wedding in this small but colorful place.
Delicious shots coming soon… on part II.
