Tucked against the foothills of the San Bernadino National Forest, Redlands is a hidden gem sprinkled with independent coffee roasters, vibrant wall murals, a striking juxtaposition of trees (pine and palm alike) and a charming small town vibe. This is where Lauren and I found ourselves on a recent Sunday, there to accompany a pretty rad couple on their wedding day. [ 56 more words. ]

Flattered to be mentioned in LaCure Villas' article about the grisly yet wonderful history of Scotland's castles whose "stern stones have tales to tell" (so true!). Their magazine features beautiful travel photography and I feel so inspired to get out and adventure again!

The article references a blog post from September that recaps a little bit of my bopping through the Scottish Highlands: http://larkandlionphotography.wordpress.com/2013/09/15/scottish-highlands-day-1/


Read their great article here: http://www.lacurevillas.com/magazine/historical-castles-scotland/

Away from the hustle and bustle of Glasgow and Edinburgh lies the Scottish Highlands. The vast, mountainous territory to the north has a rich culture and history – visibly especially in its centuri...

I still had some pictures of Paris lurking on my computer from A YEAR ago. So, without *further* ado...Château de Sceaux!

"After a quick breakfast at our loch-side hotel in Ft. William we were off to the nearby train station for the start of our second day in the highlands. This was when my brother and I came face-to-face with a very significant part of our childhood: The Hogwarts Express."

Day two of our Scottish Highlands tour is on the blog!

"It was a blustery, COLD morning, but we made it to the top despite the wind’s greatest efforts to blow us off the surface of the earth!"

Our hike to Arthur's Seat is on the blog :-)

"Above all, though, I think what I am most captivated by is the way your city seems to float ... Anchored by Princes Street Gardens, Old Town rises majestically and effortlessly up to Edinburgh Castle. On the opposite side, New Town provides a strong contrast with its austere and uniform Georgian townhouses. The result is two halves of the same city somehow suspended both in time and space. Ah, I just love it."

I'm pretty sure this post ended up being a love letter to Edinburgh.

Three years ago I was on a train bound for Wales and whizzed through Bath without more than a glimpse of the city out the carriage window. I could see the Georgian townhomes rising up into the distance and distinctly remember thinking what a shame it was to miss out on what I imagined to be a spectacular place to visit...

Oxford is a city that inhales knowledge and exhales intellect.


What can you expect, really, from a city where dons and scholars weave through the streets alongside mere civilian folk, and where the little pub around the corner is not just the nearest watering hole but the former gathering place of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
