Homesick for Rome

The past few days, I've been missing Rome even more than normal. Looking back through a ton of my pictures makes me realize how blessed and lucky I was to have such an amazing experience of a lifetime. It's weird how someplace can feel so much like home even though I was only there for about nine weeks of my life. Now I just have to figure out a way to get myself back there as soon as possible! 

Fluffy

There's nothing that compares to some amazing fluffy, perfectly textured clouds filling the big blue sky as the sun slips below the horizon around 9pm, making me fall in love with summer nights all over again.

Early Summer

Early summer, more specifically, early June, is one of my favorite times of year. It seems like everything has finally come back to life -- the grass [and everything else for that matter] is lush and green, the nights are so much longer, and there are beautiful blooming flowers all around. Peonies are at the top of my list of favorites! They are popping up everywhere I look and I can't resist taking some pictures every time I spot them.
