No one takes photos of things they want to forget

In Motion

I didn’t mean for this to happen but it’s sort of cool, right?

“Remember, girl on fire,” he says, “I’m still betting on you.”

Tears. Let’s just leave it at that.

Ladybug

At the apple orchard with my friends, we decided to have a fun photo shoot. I was about to climb up a tree when I saw this little one on the stump. I nearly stepped on it! After snapping this I continued climbing up the tree.

A Lake With No Name

Okay, it does have a name… I just don’t remember what it is.

My aunts, cousins, and I hiked to this lake for lunch while we were in Colorado. Right after we got up to the lake, it was as if we walked into a crappy Sci-fi movie from the early 60’s called “Attack of the Gnats.” We didn’t even get to eat before we were forced to head back down. There was some great scenery while it lasted!

Frische Quark Bällchen

These were honestly one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my entire life. Fresh Cream Cheese Balls. I bought two orders… and got an ice cream too. Hey, I deserved it! This was after I nearly died climbing up the mountain to get to Schlosss Neuschwanstein.

Comerica Park

Comerica Park after a game a few years ago. I don’t remember if they won or not, to be honest. I love the giant Tiger outside the stadium.

Window Grates

I really liked the shadows that these elegant window grates casted on the building façade.

Neuschwanstein Schloss

I’d been obsessing over this castle since middle school, when I drew it for one of my art projects in… seventh(?) grade. When I found out I’d actually be touring it, I was incredibly excited. It’s a beautiful castle. I’ll never forget the King’s bedroom. His bed with ornate wood carvings, the swans situated around the room, the rich curtain fabrics… Absolutely gorgeous. I’d go back, just to see the bedroom and the mosaic tiles of the throne room.

We weren’t allowed to take photos on the tour, but believe you me, if you ever see the buildings in this castle, you won’t ever forget them.

Sweet Treats

These looked absolutely mouth-watering. In Munich, at a little shop in Marienplatz, I nearly blew my budget on treats such as these. I stopped myself though… only got an ice cream cone! I have vowed that when I get back to Germany, I must visit this place again.

Nymphenburg Park

My tour group didn’t have time to explore the park and gardens at Nymphenburg Palace but if I ever get the chance to go back I’ll definitely walk through the place. The grand parterre, pictured above, is exactly that. Grand.
