The Darkness Beckons

Watching the sea - I caught an amazing sunset with my dad just staring off at the upcoming night sky. - #sunset #sunsetphotography #sunsetlovers #oldman #gazing #watching https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfYwdogdWU/?igshid=wy6n3rdhvtsy

Sweet red - This shoot was really special to me. On this day I feel I really started seeing things differently and wanted more for myself and family. This is the setting sun on some of my old ways to make way for the new. - #sunsets #sunsetpictures #redsunset #oceansunset #skyporn #birds #birdbathing #beach #beachsunset #channelsunsets #change #bethechange #oldways #newwaysofthinking https://www.instagram.com/p/CI047XgAedU/?igshid=1gduvytjxe2q6

Unfortunate - Death, is one of those unfortunate inevitability’s that we all tend to try and forget about. Although, it is always creeping on you over the horizon. This bunny lived it’s life and has met it’s end in the circle of life leaving behind nourishment for those that come across it, and a future for its babies. As we all will do someday, become nourishment for the earth while leaving behind a future for those we love. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIgqknugI9r/?igshid=1vjjn5ix6y3bq

SushiShoot - So, one of the first photo shoots I did was of this fine a** looking sushi. Truth be told mom and pop sushi was much better than any other sushi I have had, but I digress. I remember fiddling and playing with my camera right before the start of class. Playing with my food before I ate it, I snapped these and then proceeded to devour my meal. 🍣 Seared Ahi Tuni, with Salmon Nigiri, and the other one lol. - #momandpopshop #sushi #college #collegelife ##beforeclass #foodporn #sushi #sushitime🍣 #sushiporn #searedahi #searedahituna #salmon #salmonnigiri #salmonnigiri🍣 #salmonsushi #delicious #fineasslookingfood #fineassfood (at Hawaii Pacific University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpkx49gPwr/?igshid=14dkhdrmzu371

Chico - So we had a hurricane hit us not too long ago, and the water from the bay creeped up towards our home. Bringing the bay from 100 yards to 50 yards from our backdoor. So, this big ol’ dog took full advantage went to run and play in the water! Not even his owner could get him out once he got in there lol - #dogweek #doggo #doggosbeingdoggos #doggosdoingthings #bay #flood #hurricane #hurricanehanna #bigdogsofinstagram #bigdog #funinthewater #funinthewater💦 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKwvLvgEkn/?igshid=18r84aettepp

Watchful Eye - I know a week about dogs is supposed to be all happy and go lucky, and that is what I wanted. However, going though photos I felt I needed to do a little homage to the past puppies. Especially thus one, my watchful little turdbucket, Oreo. I loved this dog so much, been run over twice, fought with a much bigger dog just for the heck of it, and even got struck by a golf ball! However, he fought death and won just so he can watch me and protect me from the same thing. I miss you my Oreo, be well! - #oreo #dogweek #doggy #doggo #rip #watchful #watchfuleyes #watchfuleyes #alwaysthereforme #dogcompanion #dog #puppy #pupper #foughtdeath https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFiWucDBW0/?igshid=ynscpwv793ow

Anahuha - This little adorable pupper is my sister’s doggo when she was a pup! So full of life and joy, that I could not decide which ArtCard watercolor to use. So, of course I used two! One to really show off her stringy baby hair, and the other because I like the color scheme. :) - #watercolorwednesday #watercolor #doggo #doggiestyle #doggie #puppersofinstagram #pupper #puppylove #puppy #babydogs #babypupper #babydoggo #artcard #artcardapp #sanantoniotexas #sanantonioriverwalk https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzgOZCAMYE/?igshid=1k335czx0lhsu

The Beauty in Front of Us - Personally I am almost never without my phone. To okay games, do business, or just to mindlessly scroll through social media apps. However, when I am in the presence of natural beauty my phone becomes a mysterious box used only for emergencies, or communication. Like it uses to be when we were young. Again though, with all the beauty just fingertips away do we need to be present in order to feel the moment of beauty? - #hawaiituesdays #hawaii #hike #hikimgtrails #trails #greenery #beauty #onthephone #whenwewereyounger #emergencies #phone #momentofbeauty #infrontofus #trees #mountains #mountainous #naturalbeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/CDww3eNgQzj/?igshid=jenie0mh94mr

It’s not green - So this Thursday I chose this photo shoot I did of a praying mantis. That I will call Silvia. Now, for some reason I assumed praying mantis were all green. Did not know they came in a different color. Least of all this color, but Silvia did a great job of posing and letting me know when she’s done. - #aestheticthursday #aestheticthursdays #aesthetic #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #prayingmantis #photoshoot #insectsofinstagram #insectphotography #insects https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj5-lAg_05/?igshid=te3iyfp5vwlq

Fish for sport - The catfish is so underrated by most. Everyone wants to be like “I caught a red,” or “I caught a shark.” Then they keep those fish. All the while these hardheads, with poisonous tips, are constantly caught and released. It’s like hey these things have meat too, they put up a fight, and they are all most ever catch. I’m proud of my little whisker having fishes! Also, I have been trying a new app with various types of media scenes. For instance this is an oil painting variant. Enjoy! - #watercolorwednesday #oilpainting #oilpaintingart #catfish #hardheads #visitcctexas #bobhallpier #fishing #fishingislife #fishforsport #underratedfish #artcardapp @artcardapp @aridrootsco (at Bob Hall Pier) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9c4MaA7bG/?igshid=kph2bfy9txp7

Dragon - Yes. I have slayed a dragon. This was a picture I took before I took it down. There at universal studios, I had it stuffed and posed it there down diagon alley. - #watercolorwednesday #watercolorpainting #watercolorwednesdays #dragon #hogwarts #hogwartsmystery #grendelwald #diagonalley #universalstudios #universalstudiosorlando https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHGCFJgfw9/?igshid=3wat86x4ust0

Perspectives - This picture reminds me of the world we live in today. From the angle of the water, the land in the back, and the plank I’m standing on to the different colors of the water. All these differences are all brought together to depict a photo. This photo will then generate perspectives within the minds of those who gaze upon it, but all lead to one conclusion. It’s a photo. All of the different angles and colors represent the creatures and humans that live on this planet, which is represented by the photo itself. All of the varying differences between us and the animals when working together can create a clear picture of peace. I mean we are all here on the planet together, so we should learn to get along. - #aestheticthursday #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #water #bay #backyardocean #planks #ripples #perspectives #angles #differentperspective #clarity #helpeachother #allinthistogether #learntogetalong https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBpCchgUTh/?igshid=14v83yyatmbay

Another first This photo was taken outside of our cabin the first time we went to Colorado. There was a stream right outside in the front yard, and I can still hear it running as I’m trying to sleep in the den. #watercolorwednesday #waterlogueapp #waterlogue #stream #serenity #peace #watercolor #sidebyside #yourchoice #water https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbE7hwA2Wc/?igshid=m0b4ark8rjgk

Gaze. I have stuck to a schedule while posting and usually posting sunsets on Monday, but I really liked the watercolor look on this sunset. This is actually my first time trying a sunset! #watercolorwednesday #watercolor #phototowatercolor #waterlogue @waterlogue #sunsets #vividcolors #gradientcolors (at Flour Bluff,Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2_QbAgnzN/?igshid=1qqupx9onsvzi
