Winter Sunset
 |
| Palo Alto Hills Although this is a grainy picture, it is everything good in my life. This was sunset one March evening- the upward turn. |
California Train Station
 |
| Caltrain Station, Santa Clara, CA I like how this bench is permanently off center. Also, this train stop always makes me feel like I'm in the wild west. Wait for the tumbleweeds... |

Stanford Outback
 |
| I grew up in the Los Angeles area, so when I would see images of "California" that depicted green pastures, I thought they were crazy. Now I know what they were talking about. |
Palo Alto Nature
 |
| Deer Creek Road Palo Alto, CA This was on a late Spring walk around work. I have beautiful places to escape to when I need a break. |
 |
| Parking Lot, SPRC Palo Alto, CA We are blessed with stables behind work, adjacent to our parking lot. These horses were just posing for me |
The picture on Deer Creek was taken today, but the horses posed for me last June or so. The hills indeed are golden here in California :)

San Francisco High Rises

| San Francisco I find that San Francisco is incredibly picturesque- hills give you incredible angles and weather is always on your side. |
Good Balance
I've posted selective pictures from the first six months of living alone and out of college. I have many more pictures that I'm proud of, but they involve family members or they depict my face- things which I don't think are appropriate for this blog.
The hardest part of the last couple of postings was choosing my aesthetic over a good picture. I've taken fortuitous pictures that have great lighting, color and balance, but don't necessarily reflect my taste in photographs. I've also taken great shots of objects that I find aesthetically pleasing, but the picture itself doesn't always come up to the highest standards.
I guess I will figure out a balance of these, but for now, I am picking pictures that reflect pivotal moments that are at times gut-wrenching to remember. Who knew this would be so emotionally draining? (in a good way, of course).
