san antonio {riverwalk}

"we admire the river because it has no hesitation, no doubt.
it flows along on its destined path,
confidently knowing it will get where it is supposed to go."

i just visited san antonio for an academic conference.

it was my first time in texas and i loved the southwestern architecture,

deep-rooted history, and delicious tex-mex food!

every morning & night i walked on the beautiful riverwalk that runs through the city.

listening to the peaceful lapping of the water while snacking on fresh guacamole, chips, & margaritas.

it was such a fun week :)

more photos of the city coming soon!

simple joy {morning snow}

"winter, a lingering season,
is a time to gather golden moments,
and enjoy every idle hour"
-john boswell

one of my favorite moments of winter
is when freshly fallen snow sparkles in the morning's golden sunrise.

color crush: winter gray & ice blue

i think mother nature heard me complaining last year about the lack of wintery weather,

because this year she has completely spoiled me with a real, beautiful winter!

i wake up almost every morning to fluffly snowflakes falling outside my window,

a blanket of pure white happiness covering the ground.

the cold winter air makes me feel alive on my walks across campus

and i get to wear all of pretty mittens and scarves.
it's just how winter should be :)

so this color crush is dedicated to mother nature...thank you for all of your wintery wonderfulness!
