the rose garden

This is one of those places that I love to visit whenever I get the chance to. Every time I make it here it's like escaping somewhere far and the drive is only 15 minutes from home. I love it's peaceful atmosphere but the the heavenly and sweet fragrance of this beautiful and captivating place is what keeps me coming back.
My mom came with me for the first time the other day and she loved it. Just the feeling of being surrounded by so many gorgeous flowers makes any one's spirit sing with joy.

  Trying to catch up on my 52 weeks proyect, I've been slacking off so much... sigh... will get back on track.

I'm also having so much fun with my new camera {Nikon D7000} I just recently purchased and  I love it!
  Went out today and shoot my friend's daughter's soccer game. I got some good shots of her kicking the ball so I'm happy about that. :)


 



 

light/luz {11/52}

Yo no te pido

Yo no te pido que me bajes

una estrella azul

solo te pido que mi espacio

llenes con tu luz.

Yo no te pido que me firmes

diez papeles grises para amar

sólo te pido que tu quieras

las palomas que suelo mirar.

De lo pasado no lo voy a negar

el futuro algún día llegara

y del presente

que le importa a la gente

si es que siempre van a hablar.

Sigue llenando este minuto

de razones para respirar

no me complazcas no te niegues

no hables por hablar.

Yo no te pido que me bajes

una estrella azul

solo te pido que mi espacio

llenes con tu luz.

~Mario Benedetti

a peaceful place to wake up to and come home to...

My bedroom is my favorite spot of the house. This is where I come to relax after a long day at work, or just the perfect place to read a book or watch a movie while cuddling in bed. :D

Ever since I redecorated my bedroom, it's been great to wake up every morning. It's very peaceful and I feel very happy with the fresh look. The color walls are very soft, painted in a grayish blue and I never get tired of this color. It's my favorite! The master bathroom is painted in the same color as well. To spice up the room a bit, all I do is just simply change the linen set to a different color or pattern to add instant drama. I'm very happy with the new ones I bought recently, (shown below) they just finish the look of the room.

I have to confess though, my room is not always this clean. I have a messy 10 year old girl and a messy hubby too! It makes me want to strangle them when they make my peace fly away! LOL

Here is my SOOC picture. As you can see not too much editing was done. A simple crop to straighten the picture. "Auto" leveled it on PSE. Then, I ran an action from Florabella . I chose Magnolia for this edit because it allowed me to brighten the image and enhancing the true colors of the room. For Example, on the SOOC picture below, the black on my bedspread is not really black, it's navy blue. So the colors above on the edited image are more true to life. ;)
