I turned 33 this month. Or, as my friend Laura would encourage me to say, I turned twenty-thirteen. 😉 The only upside to another birthday is that I had about half a dozen birthday dinners and lunches. So much good food, and more importantly, great company! ❤
Photo #1
Title: Arch Rock
A long exposure shot of Arch Rock (couldn’t they have picked a more ah, creative, name??), located off Goat Rock Beach on the Sonoma Coast. This was a 105-second exposure. Such fun until my two-month old intervalometer decided to stop working for no good reason. 😦
Please click on the image to see the full-sized version. I promise it’s way better! 😀
Photo #2
Title: Goat Rock Sunset
A 15-second exposure. Not as exciting as 105 seconds, that’s for sure. 😉
Photo #3
Title: Arch Rock, Round 2
I have a nice boyfriend. He drives me back to desirable shooting locations so I can push my creative photography boundaries. This is another view of Arch Rock, taken the next day around noon. Yes, it had to be noon because we were homeward bound from our delightful weekend getaway.
Photo #4
Title: Ronan
If we are connected through IG or FB, you have already met Ronan. He is so cute.
To end this month’s post, I thought I’d share a poignant quote I came across recently. Enjoy and I’ll see you back here in a month! ❤
Wow, these photos are gorgeous. And I like that quote too.:)
Thanks, Mom! ❤
Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, Dad! 🙂
Very nice photos…very creative…
The photo’s are amazing Patty. I can’t believe that beautiful seascape is in California, it is incredibly beautiful. I did click on the each photo and they are spectacular.
Thanks, Suzanne! We have a beautiful coast line!
I love the ending quote. How many hours were you at arch rock? As my mum would say, you turned 25 and a bit (she still says that about her age!) ❤
About an hour each visit. And I’m borrowing your mum’s line! 😂
Love the landscapes Patty and I’m of course partial to Ronan. Can’t wait to shoot nighttime SF with you!
You’re too sweet, Stacy! And yes, I’m super excited for our SF shoot!! Can’t wait!
Your photos are beautiful–I especially love the Arch Rock! And hope you had a wonderful birthday, Patty! 🙂
Thanks, Nancy! I love rock arches. I want to go around the world and photograph them all!
Happy belated birthday, sweetie! Love your photos! The #3 is just… Wow!!! Breathtaking really!
Thanks, Erika! I hope you’re doing well! 😄
Beautiful as always PATTY!!! Belated Birthday wishes…Cheryl
Thanks, Cheryl!!
Belated wishes for a happy birthday, Patty. Maybe I should just wish you a happy Halloween. 🙂
Happy Halloween sounds great to me! 😄
Hi Patty I was so excited when Suzanne told me you all met in Brooklyn again. I am not on any social media can you post pics here of your time there at all??? Your Florida Bud, Cheryl
Hi Cheryl! Yes, I will post some photos from our trip!
Wonderful-Suzanne was so excited to meet your family and see you again. She an I talk all the time!
We had such a great time with her!! My dad was chatting her up about all the real estate in Brooklyn. You should join us next time!! Wouldn’t that be fantastic??
Oh my I would soooooo love that my friend. I just love Suzanne and YOU!
We’ll have to plan something!
It is so hard for me with five young children, hubs and large home to get away!
Well, Suzanne and I will Skype or Facetime you next time we’re together then!!
