A nice sunny day, a nice walk in the fields and some nice photos taken!
It was a bit difficult to catch these beautiful insects... they were always flying from one flower to another.
Damn, why didn't they just stop on one so that I could easly take my snapshots? :-(
Anyway, after a while I found some sweet models :-) These ones were a bit more "relaxed" then the others.
I've also learned some of the scientific names of these butterflies!
Take a look!
Oh, there's also a blackbird mixed with them. It was a grey afternoon and it was waiting for me, just above my car. It didn't stop singing! So nice. :-)

Hello again everyone!
Another day, another round of photos. :)

I'm in love with sunsets. I really like the last photo of this group, the colors are beautiful. 
They aren't as the real sunset I saw there, my cell phone's camera altered a bit the scenery, but I really like the result, anyways.

Oh! I remember when I took the starfishes and anemones photo. It was the first time I could see those little creatures so close and even touch them!
They are so strange! Starfishes look rocky and steady, but as you touch them they come to life instantly! They are really beautiful creatures.

I also remind a little kid who came to the Aquarium of the Bay with his daddy. He approached the little pool with the anemones inside, he touched one and he started yelling at his father: "Daddy! Daddy! It caught me! It's sticky!"
Ehehe! He was so cute. :)

Hello everyone!
I created this blog to share with you my best photos and the moments they remind me.
So, let's get started!

This first group of photos are from my last trip in the USA. A journey of 10 days, from San Francisco to Phoenix, crossing the Death Valley and briefly stopping by Las Vegas. They are all scrambled, with no chronological order.

I really really enjoyed those days...I wish I could be back there...tomorrow. :)

Enjoy the view!
