But leavin' it ain't easy
How awesome is that ‘guy’ in the last photo?!
This is the High Line in NYC.
On a totally different note, Euro 2012 begins right now! You know where my head’s at for a month!

The wilderness that is
Joshua Tree National Park!
Three of us camped an extra night after Coachella ended to check out Joshua Tree the next day. As unprepared as we were about the cold weather in the desert, we weren’t expecting Joshua Tree to be so massive. Okay, there’s actually no excuse because I was the one who did the research and stared at the park’s map for at least 2 minutes but… where I live, parks are so small and there’s not much to see so you turn around and go in search of something to eat after half an hour.
So after we digested the massiveness of Joshua Tree and compared it to our lack of time – had a plane to catch to NY in the night! – we consoled ourselves with the mini nature walk outside the visitor center then drove back to LA to eat at The Boiling Crab! Highly recommended to eat there if you’re into seafood.
Then a week ago, Sandra of Niotillfem blogged about her trip to Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms, and enjoy it vicariously through her pictures I did!

I took happy pills and time stands still
This is Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea in Venice and they have a really different concept of a shop-front which I loved (third picture)! A piece of fun fact: while we were enjoying our lattes, we also happened to be sitting next to actor, Sebastian Roché. He picked up on our part-English-part-Mandarin conversation and asked where we were from. After introducing ourselves, we told him we were speaking in Mandarin because we were talking about him! He was really nice and very chatty and made for a pretty cool first celebrity encounter in LA.
I also saw Camryn Manheim walking out of a bodega at the Lower East Side and Vanessa Traina in Greenwich Village in NYC… She had a whole posse that one.

Parking lot outside of the Original Pantry Cafe
Had delicious taco’s at Yuca’s, twice!
Had brunch here and drank coffee out of said bowl

I’m gonna try and post photos all week long, I just only have a few more batches to share from my trip. I do feel like I need to look forward and ahead more than backwards and also keep the blog current with what I’ve been up to.

To start another day feels right, feels so right
Hey Griffith Observatory!
While we were here, I strongly felt the urge need want for a wide-angle lens. Ok, to be honest, this trip confirmed the need for an upgrade. I’m thinking of getting the Nikon 24mm/F2 prime lens. Would totally love to hear any recommendations or stories or thoughts, if you have any!
