A while ago, I offered to come and help with photography for Beth's daughter's wedding. She took me up on it and last week I flew to California for 6 delightful days. I got to celebrate my birthday with friends and strangers, got to enjoy the golden desert as well as the turquoise coast. I feel so comfortable in her home, and was so glad to be helping and involved with the preparations and celebrations. I'm just about done editing the photos I took, and I am happy to say that I was able to tell the story of the reception, and that makes me happy. Here are some photos:

These California times were completely refreshing. A wedding at the temple; lovely evening walks in the desert; Joshua trees; time with precious, lifelong friends; the glory of the coast, and more: This state is golden in my book. 👌🏻☀️🌊🌴🕶 |

| The day of the wedding, I helped out by making this twig and grapevine initial for the reception. I totally winged it, but it turned out okay. |
 |
| I always enjoy seeing a joshua tree up close. They are true trees, with bark and everything! |
 |
| One of my favorite things about big skies is being able to watch the sunset on one side, and the moonrise on the other side. Love. That. |
 |
| There are actually a million colors in the desert. |
 |
| Then we went to the coast for a day. The other side of the split personality that is California. It's actually split three ways-Mountains, deserts, sea. This time I got to two of the sides. |

| The sweet, misty air of Ventura. |
 |
| Toes touching the Pacific. |
 |
| Beth, Jenny, Me, Karyn. It was good to be with all of them. They were an important and major part of my teenage years. |
 |
| All the exotic cars on the highways in the LA area. Here's a Ferrari for ya. |
 |
| Rule number 47: If you have the chance to spend the morning in a treehouse, do it. |
 |
| Heart rock, sunset, walk in the desert, this pretty much sums up the weekend. Beautiful, relaxing, just what I needed. |
