Enjoy some fall moments from November where I spent my birthday :)
One Saturday we woke up and realized that something is weird. It’s not a regular Saturday. Our camera bags were lying empty in a closet and alarm did not go off. And!! I’m not trying to memorize bride’s and groom’s names. You know what that means? No wedding on a Saturday :) a little bit awkward but we started to think what we could do. We asked ourselves what regular people do on their day off? Our options were to explore Vancouver downtown, visit some breweries on bikes, maybe go to North Van… Second idea was to try to sneak in to the baseball game and the last one was why not to take bikes into ‘snow white’ and drive to Seattle. Ride bikes there, got to the Crab Pot and do other touristy stuff.
No need to guess which one we picked :) Bikes laying in a car we drove a car south! We found a free parking spot which was like a miracle, because parking is ridiculously expensive :/ Anyway, we decide to make a quick ride to the park which was near where we parked and the first thing we saw - photographer was doing a glamour session for a newly weds :) So we stood there and watch how he was working, made some comments to ourselves and moved on. Seemed quite a boring shoot :O
I was actually surprised how empty downtown in Seattle was! So many lanes for bikes and it seemed like it’s only two of us riding.
We did quite a bit though! Stopped for a sushi, then rode bikes to breweries and gum wall, visited fisherman’s harbour, went to eat seafood and then we decided to go and watch a movie :) oh, and of course we took a ride in a ferris wheel. All this day was so chill. We would decide what we wanna do and would go for it. No particular plan, just ride bikes and explore.
The other thing that stuck to my head was very unique architecture. Vancouver downtown is quite boring with same style buildings, but it’s not the same in Seattle. Maybe it’s just me for the first time visiting Seattle but I really liked what I saw :)
lots of unique sculptures around downtown.
No, I didn’t leave gum on this wall ;P
Let me go into the nature, lay in the flower field and I will be the happiest girl :) Even now I look at this photo and it looks like this trip was ages ago. So busy at work with planning/scheduling and all other new stuff that it's so hard to find time to do other things. Should I mention weddings on weekends? How about this - 10 weddings in two months? While working non stop. Seems like a quite busy season but I really enjoy both jobs and don't want to stop. But let's go back to this great trip in Vancouver Island!
A little bit squinting in this photo, but sun was so strong aaaand I tend to squint so much even on cloudy days so no surprise :) Anyway, after our stop at Hot Poles in Sooke we continued our trip to Creyke Point.
Mini session in the forest. We walked like for good half an hour until we realized that we are walking to completely opposite direction :) But I have to say that this forest was very very beautiful and somehow I could sense how old it was. Blame the setting sun or whatever you want but when walking in this forest I've imagined days way back in the past when first people discovered it...
this is our last spot that we were looking for :)
After this we made ourselves last dinner in this forest and enjoyed some night photography in the beach :)
We've already spent couple days in Mexico so we feel like pro in our resort :) This was very lazy morning. But! We made an effort an woke up early to take some sunrise photos and after this we had a horse ride on a beach :) mm~~ I ride a horse once in my life at my uncles farm when I was 10y.o. If I remember correctly it was like 10min ride with no saddle. Haha wild horse riding ;} I was really excited to try it as an adult and to refresh my memories :)
Sunrise photos and our resort looks pretty empty :)
My beautiful horse was named Margarita :) I found her to be quite calm, but naughty at the same time. We slowly walked on a beach and then stopped for a photo. After our guide took like 50 images of us he said that it's time to go back, but Youn asked him if we could go somewhere else and pointed to these bushes that you see in a photo below. In my head I thought I don't know if I can do this, if I have skills, etc etc.... But then I realized that if I will be still on a horse, Margarita will not drop me. Too much trust? Maybe :) We turned into this little desert and this is where I felt like we are in Mexico just to travel. Just two of us. No resorts, no tourists, wild beautiful nature, hot sun at 10am, iguanas resting on hot rocks, big birds flying above us probably looking for dead meat and a white goat feeding her baby :)
Isn't this amazing? I love this photo a lot :))
My prince on a Mexican horse :)
Just steps away from our resort wild nature seems to be untouched. Baby goat looking at us :)
I think that not a lot of tourists actually ask to go into this area, so Margarita was really happy and started to snack while we were in there. And I thought it's quite funny because I like to snack all the time :) So we were a good match for each other :)
After this I was chilling in a beach area, spend time reading my book enjoying time where I had no plans waiting for me :)
