HumpDayHaiku in Oblivious October

Holy Cow! I forgot to post in October, my bad.

The month flew by like nothing, didn't it? Since the month is now over, I know that I didn't get a chance to do too much art work, but hey, I still got a few months before this year is over to get a few more in there, right?

03Oct2018: Optimism is the game

10Oct2018: Cloudy with a chance of sun!

17Oct2018: Not holding back

24Oct2018: Appreciation

31Oct2018: Halloween!!!
So I had to do a #throwback to my old minion characters. It's been so long since I drew them (3 years!) but they still hold a place in my imagination and heart. Gotta love characters that make you feel like a kid again!

HumpDayHaiku in Amusive August

I don't know about you, but this year has gone by in a blip! How can it already be August!?

01Aug2018: I had lunch with some friends in Ocean Beach and had to take advantage of being there. It's such a pretty place and I discovered OB Garden Cafe (click link for my review) had some excellent vegan lasagna.

08Aug2018: Torrey Pines never disappoints. Well, unless it's super hot out and I forgot water. No coverage on this hike but the scenery is beautiful.

Some happy news to share is that my cousin had her 2nd baby too! So excited to meet her!

15Aug2018: This was taken at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa. I loved this park. Glad to have enjoyed it while I lived there.

22Aug2018: what can I say? I was feeling rainbow hearts.

29Aug2018: On the 101 near Big Surand Monterey. Just gorgeous!

#HumpDayHaiku in amiable August

August 5th:

I used to go sailing all summer long for the Beer Can Races in San Diego once upon a time. Those days bring back fond memories.

August 12th:

Today is World Elephant Day! I found that I like drawing these lovely animals. When I saw them at the Smithsonian National Zoo, I could have watched them for hours.

August 19th:

Last week we tried to see the meteor shower. At 1am we drove over 30 miles to get away from the city to try to get a good view.

After an hour we didn't see anything so we gave up and went home. Funny thing though... After we parked the car, we kept our eye on the sky as we walked to our place and BAM, a shooting star!

Like the alchemist, we found what we were looking for right outside our door. Lol

That kinda inspired this one.

August 26th:

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love photography. I kind of claim to be a sun chaser because I take so many pictures of sunsets.

In grad school I was one of about 4 of us who was always with camera in hand,  capturing moments, both posed and candid. 📷

One of the things I love about living on the West Coast is the chance to capture some beautiful sunsets.
