Unexpected Mail Treasure


Yesterday was pretty much one of the most perfect days as far as weather and Sundays go.  I had a fantastic weekend.  My goals this weekend were to get up and go to the gym on Saturday and Sunday, and well I'm happy to report the goals were met!  In fact, I think at the time of my last post I was anticipating yoga and just to fill in the blanks I actually went to class and fell in love with it.  Yoga is an interesting exercise.  I had wanted to do it because of the mental relaxation aspect more than the physical and I'm happy to report the instructor on Wednesday is precisely what I was hoping for.  She focused heavily on meditation and helped me learn how to focus.  It was amazing.  I was energized and full of happy the rest of the day.  I can't wait for Wednesday again!  I also made it to the Farmers Market in Laguna on Saturday to buy fresh, locally grown, organic veggies and fruit.  Yet another magical experience.  It's so funny how much of a difference it makes to buy real produce.  Each piece of produce was so aromatic -- and the flavor!! Oh geez!  If you haven't tried shopping for fresh produce I highly suggest you start!  The apples alone -- I had forgotten that apples do have a phenomenal flavor and aren't just crunchy and flavorless.  


I feel like I was so busy this weekend I could write forever.  I had a great weekend.  The above picture was taken at Balboa Island.  I was actually pretty much done shooting for that location and was walking back to the car when these ancient mailboxes caught my attention.  The idea of how many different people have used them and all the various types of letters throughout time they could have housed just made my mind swirl.  They had such character and detail.  I just loved them and had to shoot them.  I used a Canon 5D for this image.


Can't wait for Piyo tonight!  Hope everyone's having a great Monday!
