Practical magic in love review

Every year around fall, I cuddle up and watch practical magic with lit candles. This year, I decided to read the novel for once and before the autumn season officially begins.

Let me honest first, I think this might be the only novel that I prefer the movie version slightly more over the novel (just by Hair). Only for a few things that were different between the two storylines in my opinion that are up for a little debate of which one is slightly better.

I love the storyline of practical magic all the together , the bond of family ups and their downs, through tragedies that bind them together from the past to the present. And I love the aspect of falling in love deep that came about differently for each character.

The idea of practical magic in the wispier of the wind and the candle burning during the night hours , feels like magic through the pages and before I knew it the novel ended.

The owens women reminds me about the women in my life as sisters and as friends their strengths, their kindness, their craziness but like the owens protecting each other from situations and yet fighting when one person is wrong. Even through pain and loss and the chaos of life, finding the love of their lives makes a magical ride of a chaotic rollercoaster storyline.

I love the play of magic throughout the novel, hearing spells, seeing ghosts and their past history of ties that tie to their current lives individually for each sister in the love aspect. Going back Maria owens that had her heartbroken before the aunts, Sally and Gillian ever did. And how the aunts payed for their new roof from their side business , helping out the public.

My favorite quote is that very end of the novel said by sally owens, '' Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate.. plant roses and lavender for luck .Fall in love whenever you can."

I couldn't agree more fall back in love with magic , fate , life and moments despite all tragedy being thrown at the sisters, through blood family fights together and becomes stronger each time. Losing a love that was a deep connection to a tragedy and still finding a soulmate that makes magic appear through electricity of air that I can't be described. Makes the person wake to their core and do anything to protect their soulmate, unconditionally.

The question is Love practical or magical?

That's what I got from the novel, what are your thoughts?

Filling up the Wildlife portfolio

The end of the last week of July , I found a small a herd of elk in a middle of the valley floor. They were a beautiful sight after a morning of dense fog and heavy rain on a tuesday . Everytime I see a single elk or a group of them, it's as if I just witness them for the first time all over. I tend to get excited watching them graze and seeing how close I can get before they notice me in the field. For some reason these studs ,make me want to photograph for hours in the most calming way after I spot them.They are one of my favorite creatures to photograph if you haven't figured out yet. Hopefully the next time I spot them ,they are in a lake catching a swim. I hope you enjoy the new expansion of my portfolio in wildlife and other wildlife photos are coming besides these gorgeous studs.

Let me know, your thoughts.

Little Hot air Update



Just wanted to say Hi and hope you all had a fun, safe Fourth of July. I had a exciting fourth of July including the earthquake in California that occured after I got home from photographing all morning long. In the same day I witness a wonderful sunset and after the firework show there was another beautiful moment in the sky , that I think no one noticed besides myself, I think. I ran for the nearest camera on hand in the dark before it disappeared on me , behind the mountains. I have tons of photographs of the Hot air Balloons in the last two days. And two more days to go with the Big Balloons in the sky, plus I will be going up in one too! I honestly can't wait for it Tomorrow morning, I maybe an adult but the heart of a child when it comes to trying something new that pushes my limits. I have been told that once I am in the sky, I won't want to come down and that I would would want my own Hot Air Balloon myself. We shall see what happens in that matter. More Photos and videos to come from this week , I can't to start editing and building a new series.
