photo diary: california sunsets

I'm a sucker for a good sunset or sunrise. Isn't everyone, though?!

One of the things I was most excited for in Cali was catching the sunset every night. Unfortunately, it happened way too early [about 4:30-5:00 every night], but I planned my entire day around where I'd be when it passed the horizon.

Like I've said a million times, I'm no professional photographer, nor do I use any really fancy equipment, but I like taking pictures. Here are some of my faves of nothing but the beautiful sunsets. 

From Pfeiffer Beach, in Big Sur. 

This beach was stacked with professional photographers, so I just found my way around them to not look like an idiot. It's no wonder they were all there, though. You had to drive down a two mile trail of a "road" to get to it.

Some of the sand was PURPLE! AKA gorgeous.

The red tone on all of the rocks [everywhere] was freaking fantastic.

Seal Beach, right above Huntingon Beach. I had to pull over into this little neighborhood because I wasn't going to make it to Huntington. Not mad. It was empty. 

Coronado Beach in San Diego

Since I was alone, I decided I should take pictures of complete strangers and pray they didn't catch me. That woman was awesome. This couple spent the entire hour taking selfies. 

For one of the days, I was walking over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fran... which in theory is a great idea until you realize the sun sets behind a mountain. Still, an awesome walk to make.

Mr Mike Klein wasn't too fond of the heights back there. 

Still working on getting so many things ready to get posted... it really was a life changing trip. If you haven't met my boyfriend yet, get on it.

photo diary: my annual trip to morgantown

Last week I wondered if it was as "uncool" to go back to college after graduation and party like you're still a student... cuz ya know, the college kids going back to high school parties is like SO LAME.

Too bad I didn't care. I've been going to Morgantown at least once a year SINCE I graduated, and still owning the town.

I didn't plan on posting anything about the trip, but I got some pretty amazing pictures that I just have to share.

This is us olds' "victory pic," after beating the youngins in a game of what I call "Relay For Life." [I know... a drinking game called that... it's just wrong.]

As my BFF Mandy said- You know sweet baby Jesus is a Mountaineer when there's a sunset like that. Perfection. 

Corey and Rob's first experience in Morgantown! 

Silly school officials putting up "NO OPEN FIRES" signs and acting like we won't change them. #CouchBurnerForLife

Both of those are from my brother's house. Pictures don't even do the views justice most of the time.

I was too busy pretending like I'm not a grown-up with a "professional" job to take crazy party pics, but I like all of those better anyway. I can party any time. I can't burn off all my drinking calories from one night in one single walk home every weekend.

love,
elizabethany

PS: I refuse to acknowledge the outcome of the game, so you shut your mouth, mmmmkay?!
