Wintertime Birthday

Leave a reply

If there is anyone I know who will love these photos, it is my dad. 

The two of us have many things in common. We enjoy many of the same foods, both enjoy a good beer or glass of wine, we both love warmer weather + sunshine. (the list could go on + on). Neither of us are in love with winter. We both enjoy spring, summer and fall, when going outside and enjoying the day is the best thing to do. But when it comes to winter, and one has to bundle up layer upon layer to make it even tolerable to be outside, it’s just not our jam. 

My dad’s birthday is just before the official start of winter. I’ve always wondered about the irony in this. I think the universe did this to give us something to celebrate, because surely we aren’t celebrating the weather outside. 

But the cool thing is, when it comes to anything with the outdoors, I know my dad appreciates the beauty, no matter what the season. I know that he loves the scenes of winter, even if he doesn’t love the cold. 

So, these photos are just for you, Daddy. I love you very, very much!

A Walk Through Rittenhouse Square

1 Reply

Today I’m showing you another little piece of Philadelphia.

Rittenhouse Square.

The day I was there? Warm and sunny. A little breezy. A Tuesday. People walking, talking, reading, guitar playing, people watching. And me, capturing it.

Here are some of my favorites from the walk.

Wissahickon Walk

Greg lives in a great part of Philly. He can take a three minute walk to a station and get on a train that takes him to Center City in 15 minutes. He has a great market that is only a 10 minute walk away. He lives right near two great towns with local shops and restaurants. And, he lives close to several entrances of Wissahickon Park.

Being in the city is great, but it is so nice to have such a close escape. Here are some photos from a walk we took one seasonably warm day in January.

Enjoy!

A Short Walk: Philadelphia

2 Replies

Today I am going to share some photos of a beautiful city with you.

Last week, I talked a bit on Philadelphia. I got to spend a month there over my winter break and had the chance to take this lovely walk one day. So, while these photos are not new, they are worth sharing, I think.

Enjoy, a brief look at this city.

It is amazing to think of all that I got to see in such a short amount of time and also what I have yet to see. Expect more, soon.

Have a happy Wednesday!

Weekend in Photos: Philadelphia

So, today I am going to introduce you to someone.

This is Greg. Everyone say hi Greg!

Hi Greg!

Just about every other weekend I make a four-and-and-half hour trek across the PA turnpike to visit him. He is one of my bestest friends and my boyfriend!

He is attending graduate school in Philadelphia, so that means that I get to hang out and explore a new (to me) city with free lodging! How cool is that?

Anyway, expect to hear me talk more about Greg and Philadelphia, and now you know him and why I’m there.

Once the weather gets nice, expect to see more Philly posts, with outdoor photos.

So, here’s my weekend in photos — Philly style!
