Recently my DH and I had the opportunity to shoot part of the Downtown Miami skyline at dusk while a friend practiced his car videography. These are a few of the more impressive shots taken that evening.

Handcrafted plate charger from Mexico at Talavera Cocina Mexicano in Coral Gables. Talavera definitely has our favorite salsa, and most likely has our favorite taco as well.
One of the many cow statues that dots the Yellow Green Farmer’s Market in Hollywood. Also hanging around are very large fruits and veggies from the ceiling, barrels in the rafters, and an odd mish-mash of dummies.

Interesting sky this afternoon–thick bands of yellowish/pinkish/greenish clouds with shots of greyish blue peeking through. This version is made to look like a snapshot from the 70s, but it still looks like the start of summer.
This getup makes me look like a tennis ball. See, Dad? I’m smiling… like a dork.
If the second half of this quote means what I think it means, this is one of my life mottos.
