Winter in iPhone Photos

March 22, 2021

Happy spring! I hope the snow is thawing and flowers are starting to bloom where you are. I must admit that I was spoiled by spending a good portion of winter in South Florida this year. Looking back at my iPhone photos from the past few months, I’ve logged a lot of miles in the car and spanned the East Coast with stops in Connecticut, Washington, South Carolina, and Florida. Although my nomadic lifestyle as of late has weighed on me at points, there certainly have been silver linings, many of which are included in today’s winter photo diary.

I spent Christmas in Connecticut with Max’s family. Somehow I neglected to take any photos on Christmas Day other than the single shot of Max in his flannel pajamas (courtesy of my mom). For New Year’s Eve, we had a lowkey night at my apartment in Washington and ordered takeout from one of our favorite local spots, Duke’s Counter. Their burgers are fantastic, but my menu item of choice is the white truffle mac and cheese.

A little peek at how the sausage is made. I had a blast styling props and shooting photos for the 365 Days of Gratitude Challenge post.

It took me longer than usual to mentally shift to the new year, but once I finally did in February, I decided to make a vision board. The process of flipping through magazines, cutting, pasting, and collaging was soothing. And I’ve liked having a visual reminder of my priorities and goals. Can you tell a golden retriever puppy is high on my wish list for 2021?

I drove down to Florida before Valentine’s Day and got to visit Shark Valley in Everglades National Park during the dry season. It was an amazing experience. I couldn’t believe how many wild alligators we saw up close and personal!
