Design Traveler: Travel inspiration

 

While searching for a little inspiration I came across some older travel photos.  I have shared some of this trip previously but I don't think these particular photos have made it on the blog.  When I travel I have a tendency to spend A LOT of my time taking photos.  This trip was great because I was with a friend who was just as interested in photographing EVERYTHING and I was driving so I could stop anytime I pleased for a photo opp!

I love these old buildings and structures as I am sure that many others do to considering we are consistently taking clues from them when we plan our own homes and gardens.

My favorite part is that even the weeds look good just because they are here! We are working on selecting stone for our patio and I keep consulting photos of these beautiful spaces to inspire me, I just have to figure out how to make it look beautifully aged.

New Year big plans...

First of all thank you for all of your sweet comments on the photos from instagram, it is a great way to capture a moment in time for me.  I was flipping trough pictures from trips to Paris and found these from a trip a long time ago in Portugal.  I posted some photos once before but these got me thinking... I love to travel and this year will be no different but I have not nailed down my path as of yet and I cannot wait to share where I am going!  In looking back I see how things change for me over the years, what I focus on when I travel and how I try to capture it.  This is a small walled town that was so amazing in contrast.  I tried to capture the colors that they were so bold with on the buildings.  Amazing! 

What does 2013 hold for you?  Any plans yet?  I always love to hear good ideas so bring them on!

 

Mind trip...

 

You know you are working too much when you get to view all of your really old photos on screen saver video slide shows.  I was reminded of my trip to Portugal almost 6 years ago - is that even possible that it has been that long?!  Wow!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!  Working on getting caught up here and taking a little family time.
