Bikes in Japan

It's been SO long since I sat down to put together a photo blog post. I realize I never wrote a post about Japan so, to make up for that, I decided to put together one of bicycles. You probably already know I love photographing bikes when I travel, and Japan was just the perfect place to do that! 

Here are some pictures of bicycles I took while traveling in Japan earlier this year. Everywhere we went in Japan, there were lots and lots of bikes. All the cities we visited felt incredibly bike friendly.

Enjoy!

Spring in Yellow and Orange

A week ago, our family went on our 3rd annual trip to Bear Valley Road in Colusa County, California. Many people have thought we went to Bear Valley, the ski resort but that's not correct. Bear Valley Road is about 3 hours north of San Francisco, very close to Clearlake.

Of all three years we've visited the valley, this was by far the best. The hills were a lot greener and there were a lot more flowers everywhere. Before going there, we thought this was going to be a good year because of all the rain we got at the beginning of the year and we were right!

Here are just a few photos showing the absolute beauty of this gorgeous valley. Yellow and orange were the predominant colors so I decided to showcase them in today's post. Enjoy! For more photos, visit my website or go to my Etsy store.

Pacifica Pier

About a month ago, when the waves were starting to get really big along the coast, we took a trip to Pacifica to check them out and to enjoy a walk on it's very cool pier. Here are some photos from that misty and gray day!

Magnificent Magnolias

It's that time of the year again! Magnolias are in full bloom at the SF Botanical Gardens and the display of color and beauty is simply amazing! Here are a few photos (I took about a million!) so you can see what I'm talking about!  Enjoy!

Doors of Paris

Paris has some very beautiful doors. I had never seen so many blue doors in one city in my life, or so many colorful and picturesque entryways! You could spend an entire day in Paris just photographing doors!

San Francisco Chinatown

Last weekend we went for a walk in Chinatown. I had really been wanting to take Hugo there because I knew he would love it (and he did!). When we lived in Nob Hill, we could just walk 4 blocks and be there. Now, we could take Bart and then walk a little bit, but I don't want to bring the stroller and I think the entire day trip would be a bit too much for Hugo just walking. So, anyway, we drove there as a family and these are some of the photos I took. I had a great time. It was early in the morning, the light was perfect and I was very happy with the end results!
