inspirations only travel can tell

i mentioned a few posts ago about a trip i took to california. my friend Melody and her 3 1/2 year old daughter, London, came along. we went to visit a girlfriend of ours as well as my family. having been raised in california and now living in vancouver, i've made the trip countless times. but this time was especially exciting because we took a train! it was a loooong 24 hour trip, but so comfortable as you can see by my sleeping and lounging. i love trains! the scenery along the way was truly incredible. of course, my friend Melody is a professional photographer so she was able to capture the memories beautifully. i include these in my design blog because they inspire my creative work and i wish for them to inspire you too.
the train took us from seattle to fresno, where we visited our friends and my brother's family for a few days. then we took another train to san fransisco to visit my parents where Melody was able to take some great photos of my mom and i. we did all the touristy things in the city and had an amazing time. two of my favourite photos of all time by Melody Davis Photography are of the grassy beach above and of the colorful barrels of sand below.
