Beauty outside the lens

When you want to take a picture of something beautiful in the sky, and sometimes it doesn't come out how you saw it.. well i truly believe that some things has to be seen in person, and you cant capture something so beautiful.. so, when you have the chance.. put the camera down.. and enjoy the magic happenings on earth. :)) 

Mark the Seagull.

okay at first you're probably thinking.. 

"why did you took a picture of a seagull?" 

i have two reasons.. one: why not take a picture of a seagull

and two: this seagull has a story like any other living creature in this world.

i took this picture in Santa Cruz at a beach

if you look carefully you can see some fishing line on its right leg,

the first thing that popped in my head was.. "wow! im surprised this thing is still alive"

because a lot of birds do get caught around areas where people fish 

it can get dangerous for them, but they still hang out around there because they know thats where they can get a good meal. 

but anyways i was super close to this thing lol and i was shocked how close it let me get to him but them it flew away! hahah 

Broken Ballerina

Broken Ballerina?

She danced even when no one saw her.

when times got rough 

she would tie ballet shoes up to her ankles.

cuts and bruises 

wont stop her living her dreams,

dreams she had dreamed for years.

falling apart piece by piece

she glued herself back together 

day by day she keeps 

hoping she would find love.

but too distracted by her scars

but kept dancing.

always with a smile on her face

Absent Fishing

i randomly took this picture when i went to SeaCliff when we went to Santa Cruz

im really happy i had the opportunity to enter! 

ive never entered for anything! 

anyways! i really love how this picture came out! hope you enjoy it! 

info on the ship in the background:


SS Palo Alto was a concrete ship built as a tanker at the end of World War I. She was built by the San Francisco Shipbuilding Company at the U.S. Naval Shipyard in Oakland, California. She was launched on 29 May 1919, too late to see service in the war.


She was mothballed in Oakland until 1929, when she was bought by the Seacliff Amusement Corporation and towed to Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, California. A pier was built leading to the ship, and she was sunk a few feet in the water so her keel rested on the bottom. There she was refitted as an amusement ship, with amenities including a dance floor, a swimming pool and a café.


The company went bankrupt two years later and the ship cracked at the midsection. She was stripped of her fittings and left as a fishing pier. Eventually she deteriorated to the point where she was unsafe for even this use and was closed to the public. Today she remains at Seacliff Beach and serves as an artificial reef for marine life.
