California Photo Diary

My mini-vacation to California with my family can best be described with all the Instagram images I took. (Instagram is a photo-sharing app for iPhones.) Above: playing “Where in the world is PSS?” with my Twitter followers.

Above: I tweeted the answer to the where’s PSS question with a picture.

Plane rides are so much more entertaining when you have family by your side (instead of stinky strangers).

Mulholland Drive.

Above 2 photos: My aunt’s place boast gorgeous foliage, views, and astounding bougainvilleas.

Peach tree in my aunt’s front yard. Oh how I wish I could grow things like this in Texas!

  • Beautiful! Makes me miss LA so much. But I live in Texas now too. Not the same but I'm always grateful that I grew up here (in TX).

  • Lovely pics! The one of the pond is my favorite. California is such a beautiful place.

  • I'm a Texas girl spending the summer in LA and it is just beautiful, although I miss Texas too… and Texas peaches.

  • Looks like you had a super fab little trip. I'm with you on the plant thing – every year I get inspired and plot grand ideas of peonies and hydrangea and peaches (oh my!) and then the first 100+ degree day hits…in May, and all those plans go out the window. Agave? Yeah, that will have to do.

  • Ooo i love the polaroid effect of the iphone camera =)

  • Love your photo journal, Instagram pics are fantastic! P.S. the sparkly new header is so much fun.

  • Seeing pics of California always makes me homesick. It is so hard not to live in a place with a beach within driving distance. Thanks for sharing.

  • I love the Instagram tints! I hadn't heard of the app before and immediately installed and used it for a post! Thanks.

  • Glad you were able to make it to sunny CA! This is my home and I love it so much. I see that you went to Santa Monica – one of my favorite places to be! 🙂
