The Peregrine Project
The peregrine falcon was the inspiration for this project and blog. On top of being one of the most formidable birds of prey, it was also a migrant. Peregrine means alien, traveler or passer-by. I want to provide content from the perspective of a traveler or migrant. After all, our lives are but a vapor in the wind. We are here today and gone tomorrow. All we have is this moment.
A walk on the Beach
I had the chance to finally take my camera on the beach yesterday. It has been very rainy and cloudy lately which to me still seems nice but to the locals it hasn't. The sun setting through the clouds made for an amazing photographic walk. Also a shout out the college kids on spring break I met. They were perched a top the cliff and asked for a quick picture. In the photos there is also a picture of the cutest and happiest little fur ball who I met as well.
Cardiff Week 1
It has officially been over a week of being here ins Cardiff. Today also marks the one year anniversary of when I arrived in Seattle and my nieces one year birthday. It is nearly impossible to sum up in words all that has happened in the last year. Instead, I'll attempt to do so in pictures. The picture below is a gallery. Scroll through by clicking on the pictures.
Today, one year ago, this little bundle of cuteness was born. This was her first posed picture.
chaos
This was a long exposure shot of a spinning Christmas tree light strand. Something as simple as this taken from the right prospective can really give the appearance of organized chaos.
Cardiff, by the sea
Today marks 7 days in Cardiff, CA. I have had one major take away from this city to date. People hardly work here. On any given weekday, you see the streets and restaurants packed with bikers, joggers a surfers. Surfers are out all hours of the day carving away at the beautiful ocean seascape. It appears everyone is on constant vacation. Life is relaxed a chill. It doesn't have the stress or rush of the big cities. The coffee shops are full of sandy surfers in tank tops and well dress couples. It almost seems to good to be true... still trying to grasp the gravity of this city...
