My Favorite Things ~ Traveling [Photographer, Theresa Le]

Air, car, or train. I love it all. Seeing new places. Experiencing new things. Delicious food, even better wine. I will pack my bag in a heartbeat if you tell me I can go on a trip. I just wish I could travel more often.

This past summer we (my husband and children and I) went to Italy. It was an epic trip! We went by air, car and train! I will post my favorite images from our trip soon.

My Favorite Things ~ The Ocean [Photographer, Theresa Le]

If I had to rate my favorite things, the ocean would be in my top ten…no top five. The sound of the water and birds, children laughing and playing. The clean salt air. Walking along the beach is a must when I visit the ocean. Rain, sun, fog and sunsets. The ocean is one of my all time favorite things.

My Favorite Things ~ Cotton Ball Clouds [photographer, Theresa Le]

There is something relaxing about a clear blue sky with big fluffy cotton ball clouds. Makes me want to go on a hike, ride my bike or have a picnic with my beloved. 

My Favorite Things ~ Evening Walk [Photographer, Theresa Le]

A relaxing walk on a warm evening with my family. A chance to talk and review the day with my husband. Watching our girls talk, play, and be silly. A lovely way to enjoy our neighborhood and pond. Getting a little exercise after dinner. Observing wildlife. Watching the hills, water, and sky call it a day. Truly one of my favorite things. 

My Favorite Things ~ Playing in the Rain [Photographer Theresa Le]

Something about the rain makes me want to go out and shoot. Maybe it's because I don't have rain gear and it's a challenge to not get my camera wet. I also just like playing in the rain.

Here in California we are in a major drought. We haven't had a good rain storm in I couldn't tell you how long. The past few days it's been raining like crazy. It's been great. I grabbed my girls the other day and we had a mini photo shoot in the rain. I stood on my front porch (dry) with my macro lens and photographed them playing in the rain. It was a great little break after school before they started their homework.

My Favorite Things ~ Hiking [Photographer Theresa Le]

Happy New Year!

One of my favorite things is to go hiking with my family. Being together outdoors, talking, seeing wildlife. Just being out in nature. Taking in the beautiful view after a long difficult hike is so rewarding. I can't think of a more enjoyable way to exercise and get in some good cardio.

Sharing a hike with friends is even more fun.
