Lovely pics! I love doing that on a summer day when it's windy. It feels great when wind blows on your skin and through your hair. Keep up the great posts!

iamnasra said...

So well said...at times words can not reveal all what we want to say..you have to capture the momnt with the eye of the lens....

gP said...

transience :: i bet you could! thanks :)

ghost particle :: thanks. it's the wrigley building in Chicago.

silly adventures :: yeah, i love that pic of my friend. and i wish everyone days like these :)

tomas :: to clarify, those are photographs i took of my friend. glad it gave you this feeling though :)

ragnar danneskjold :: yes it is. thanks for visiting!

sirbarrett said...

Feeling like a million bucks! Precisely how loud was she? Did she scare everyone away? Glad she could let it out and glad you could vicariously do so as well, while being the quick picture-snapper you are!

Mariposatomica said...

Great pix! I had forgot how wonderful the architecture is at the Wrigley bldg. Girl you are everywhere!

rhein said...

i can't seem to find that feeling lately:(.

i love the photo:).

Pincushion said...

ahhh yes! words simply aren't enough! and your pic is so evocative of that!
lovely pictures!

Benjamin said...

i like the first picture, sort of fits with your style somehow. the elegance of a vaguely tai-chi pose mixed with the brilliance of your smile and just a hint of something else i am unable to describe. flower power!

amiethinggoes said...

nice shot! yap the person convey the feelings, no words needed. :)

Sindhuja Parthasarathy said...

awwwwwwww..........the black and whites work magic,i say!

DeeM said...

i wish i felt like that all the time.
why cant we freeze good feelings and keep them all the time. ~sigh~

Sue hardy-Dawson said...

Lovely pictures, I can feel the sweep of air through your finger tips.

Lorena said...

paul :: i don't know! we tried not to make to much noise :)

sirbarrett :: not loud at all. it's a peaceful moment. i had the camera because it was actually during a photo shoot.

mariposatomica :: thanks, i love chicago's architecture.

rhein :: i hope you find it soon!! thanks :)

pincushion :: thank you. i almost only posted the photographs but then decided to add a few words.

benjamin :: thanks for the lovely description :) i loved it. this is a pic of my friend, not me. still love how you said it fits with my style. so cool!!

thanks pezgirl & amie !!

gangadhar :: thanks and no it's my friend.

deem :: i agree with you. so next time you feel this way, really, really enjoy it ok?! :)

sue hardy-dawson :: that's cool. thanks!! :)

irina :: i completely can picture you feeling this way!! :)

mermaid said...

I love the first picture. If I could only have my arms outstretched and embrace life like that everyday. (I think I'm too fat now:)

I think you need to give the camera to Sophia and have her/someone else capture YOU!!!

Lorena said...

thanks, i bet you'd still look wonderful mermaid especially with the glow of a soon-to-be mami :)

with every year, i don't like to get photographed. i'm getting shy but that was sweet of you to say!

gulnaz said...

great photos and i wish i were there! *sighs*
:)

stella said...

gorgeous photos with a gorgeous feeling! ;)

Lorena said...

thanks sweet decline :)

gulnaz :: thanks. feel free to come visit anytime :)

stella :: thanks. it is a gorgeous feeling definitely :)

gusgreeper :: i'm happy to hear that you are having a better week. i think its very admirable how you persevere through it all and i especially love your honesty. you are definitely one of the most REAL people i've come across and i find that to be a great quality in someone. sorry to hear about your family situation but i'm happy that you do have some great friends to help you with it all. and as you stated the most important person to help you through this is yourself and i'm confident you will have a day like this in the pic. and make sure someone takes a pic :) take care girl! thanks for sharing.

Lorena,

I don't know what u do for a living, but if you were a photographer I would be the most loyal fan of yours.
Your pics are simply art. Art, that matches perfectly with your emotions, as you express them in your writings.

S A J Shirazi said...

is that you?

Russell CJ Duffy said...

this blog just gets better and better and that arm wide-here-i-am-world-i-love-you picture says it all.
fantastic.

Lorena,

You say that words have limitations. Sometimes, we all struggle to put certain things into words. Here is my attempt to transcend those limitations. What do you think?


Float Away


Arms open,

Head thrown back,

Sun on my face,

Breeze in my hair,

I float away,

Lighter than air.

Benjamin said...

sorry, Lorena, i am just dumb. she kinda looks a little... no, i am just dumb.

Lorena said...

christo :: thank you for the sweet compliment, it's very encouraging! :) i'm glad that i can share them in this site with you.

curator :: thanks and yes TGIF!

shirazi :: no, it's my friend.

cocaine jesus :: thank you. thank you :)

anonymous poet :: love the poem, it goes perfect with the photograph!! :) thank you for including it here!!

benjamin :: sorry for what?? just a minor mistake. i'm to busy thinking of the lovely description you left of the photograph :)

sage said...

Lorena, Your photography reveals a sharp eye, your poetry a good ear and open heart. This is a beautiful site. I'll be back.

Pecos Blue said...

I am happy to see you feeling so well. : )

aa said...

I agree. Sometimes words are not enough...inadequate, even, at times, that you just have to show it rather than say anything.

Anonymous said...

Beautiful photos! Thanks, as always, for sharing!

CC said...

I don't visit you often enough... great pictures, your talent is a light shone across my screen.

Wonderful stuff Lorena.

Mariposatomica said...

Lorena, I wanted to email you but I couldn't find your email address on your blog. Hope you can come out to the play Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner by Luis Alfaro Directed by Sandra Marquez. It opens Sept. 19 - Oct. 16. A lot of hard work has gone into it and it will be nice to catch up with you. I think you will enjoy it.

just muttering said...

aahh daymn the limitaions of words ... love the pic and post :P

Lorena said...

thanks!! the irony is that i still included words, why? oh well :)
thanks for visiting

S.L. Corsua said...

If I remember correctly, your beautiful friend Sophia has been featured in a previous post, yes? The camera loves her, I gotta say. The first photo looks so good that it can be used for an ad. Bravo, dear. ^_^

Joe said...

The word beautiful doesn't even begin to describe either Sofia or the pictures. You are an amazing photographer, and a gifted writer.

Lorena said...

soulless :: yes she has. she is a natural. thanks :)

joe :: thanks, you are sweet :)

Daniel Heath said...

I love that you always have fifty adoring coments exactly on your wavelength... the internet is great for bringing like-minded people together like this. your blog is like this vortex of warm fuzzies that just keeps spinning faster and faster and folks had better watch out or y'all are going to implode the universe into a little shiny ball of pretty pictures.

Lorena said...

what a nice thought :)

Jaxe said...

thank you thank you thank you thank you, for spilling this beauty upon all of us! *sigh* its so refreshing to hit this site and see what is in store for me! Miss ya! BREATHTAKING!
