Nothing is Ordinary

Shadows

It's a HOT summer day in DC. My parents never cease to amaze me with their landscaping and gardening skills. (My father built this deck by hand, by himself!) My mother keeps her tropical plants in the sun - and during midday, when the light is the harshest, they cast shadows onto the deck that move every so often, either with the wind or the movement of the sun. 

Colorful Sunsets

There is just something about the summer sky that creates beautiful colored sunsets. Pictured are some captures from irresistible sky moments! 

Vintage Office Vibes

When visiting my parents home, there is always a new addition or a different feature from the last time I visited. In this particular case, this retro yellow lamp, now paired in-front of an original painting by my father really fascinated me. When I switched the lamp on, the yellow bulb and the yellow shade, against the yellow artwork, created this luminous, golden glow, lighting up the entire room. 

Night Florals

 

Different floral species are photographed just as dusk settles over the sky. Their vibrant colors are even more animated and electrifying as they are illuminated against the night backdrop.

Chua Bo De Buddhist Temple

 

Found my wardrobe choice, to be in unexpected harmony with this mural we passed by on our taco run. This mural along the wall of Chua Bo De Buddhist Temple stands out on Washington Ave. Look at all the colors!

 

It's a Wedding!

 

Many thanks to my friend Tiffany, who invited me along to witness such a beautiful matrimonial ceremony and reception. The stunning and dreamy ambiance was just divine! 

 

Underneath the Cherry Tree

 

I just love the light and pastel colors in these compositions. It feels so dainty and delicate!
