[personal]: work-cation

early this week i went up to pei for a little work-cation. i had a photo shoot scheduled for wednesday [which i cannot wait to show you!] and drove up a couple days early to hang out with my good friend shelley. it was so great to get a change of scenery, and i got tons of work accomplished while hanging out at a new hip coffee shop in summerside... it's called samuel's coffee house and you should check it out [this will definitely be my "office" everytime i am in summerside for work]!

i took tuesday off to play tourist, even though i have been to pei a few times, and ventured into charlottetown. we grabbed lunch and roamed about for a bit with the plan of going to see the new movie the help, but it was sold out! so, my quick thinking need-to-do-something-fun self kicked in and i suggested we grab a bottle of wine and hang out on the beach [that's legal right?]! it was a gorgeous day and i can sit by the ocean for hours and never get bored.

here are some pictures from my day off in pei!

bruscetta with fresh tomatoes and basil. and fried risotto stuffed with pork and topped with fresh parmessean... decadent appetizers we were happy to share!

the sky when were arrived at the beach was gorgeous, and it just got better, which you'll see in the following pictures! and the below picture features seagull tracks!! so sweet.

i did no colour adjustments to this photo. this was the sea and sky as i saw it!! the blue was just brilliant!!

the sun begins to set.

the following photos are due in part to red wine and sunshine, and shelley's natural ability to entertain!

our new friend, the sand man [aka: jack].

self portrait time!

the sun! the sun! the gorgeous setting sun!

thank you for taking an interest in me and my adventures!!  looking forward to sharing some photo shoots with you next week!! have a great weekend! i will be participating in a webinar all weekend, provided the impending storms don't knock out my internet!!

love & sunshine,
