hometown love

Christmas in CaliforniaReturning back to Germany after two weeks in California, I am feeling all kinds of blessed.  Being able to spend the holidays with family and friends in such an incredible place as the central coast of California, was the greatest gift of all.  I feel so very lucky to call this my home.

Here are a few shots from an afternoon hike up Madonna Mountain with Andreas and my mama.  After a week of almost non-stop grey days here in Berlin, I could really wish I could teleport myself back.  Oh sunshine, I miss you.

we were missing miss hazel so much that we had to kidnap one of my best friend’s dog, Emmy Lou, for the afternoon

      Hopefully they can meet in real life soon! They have met via skype, but it is REALLY not the same :(

    These are just magical photos.
    I love the shots of the cactus. And your pup is oh so precious! I totally know what you mean about feeling so blessed to be able to spend time at home for the holidays, it feels so refreshing, doesn’t it?

    Gorgeous. Sounds like we both had rejuvenating trips with family (and particularly bleak returns to reality!) – but oh how much good it does for the soul!

    That last photo is just surreal. I would frame it in a heartbeat.
