from this weekend's snorkeling @ La Jolla Shores, San Diego, CA
Have you had blogging block? I am in that stage right now that whatever I wanted to write, I could not write any. Though I have so many simple joys in simple life that I wanted to share, I just could not write decent ones. So, pardon me if this post does not have a focus. :(
from this weekend's wandering @ Torrey Pines State Beach, San Diego, CA
Looking at the pictures above, I know I wanted to talk about sanderlings ( the cute small birds in the picture), and snorkeling in La Jolla Cove and Shores, but somehow, I do not know how to start. :) I also would love to share one of my friends most recent joy, her parents' immigration papers were finally approved, thanks to the help of the immigration lawyers in los angeles. Somehow, there are so many stories in my mind to share, but I am just lost for words. Thankfully enough, I am not lost for pictures. :) Maybe, never will be since capturing the joys of simple life around has been part of my nature therapy. That's how I extend my enjoyment of nature, taking pictures so I could view them again and again, in my computer, or in my cell phone or in my iPad.
wanderings from 3 weekends ago
And now, aside from pictures, I also have videos of nature to watch again and again. I must admit the reason why I suffer from blogging block lately is because I got hooked on video editing. :) I can hardly write since I almost use my free time at home editing videos. I know, I need more practice since I see the areas in video making I need to improve.
Notice how my video has too much shaking, maybe I was shivering from feeling too much cold in the water? Hmmmm, no excuses, I just need to improve taking videos next time. Just too bad I started having an interest in making underwater video when it is already past summer. As I mentioned before, starting late fall to spring, not only it gets colder, but we would have more raging waves than calm water which would not be ideal for snorkeling because the turbulent waves would cause so much disturbance and stirring in the water resulting to reduced visibility underwater. Anyway, maybe, I could also start taking videos of nature in our hikes too, in addition to picture. Hmmm, we'll see.

Despite being a bit shakey, the video comes out quite clear. :)
ReplyDeletei hear you Beth! haha! i actually love writing for happine$$ because it forces our brain to exercise and get us back to the grove. :D

That's one wish I have Ate Beth, to have a cam which I can use underwater so when we visit Pinas meron akong magagamit. Missya!
ReplyDeleteMs. Betchai-- I guess we all have that blogging block that your saying! The good thing on your part is, you have a gazillion of photos I bet in your archives that you can use to beat the blogging block your having. I so enjoyed these snaps that you just shared. I have a friend who recently moved to La Jolla from the Bay area and I can imagine how beautiful her new place is. I miss the ocean so bad!
ReplyDeleteI have that blogging block once in a while. I'm starting to take video too on my travel and getaways and I posted two already from my recent getaways.
ReplyDeleteNo big deal on how you took the video, there is always a room for improvement for those who wanted to excel. I agree, appreciating the beauty of Nature is a stressbuster.
ReplyDeleteBlogging block or not, you got some excellent pictures and video.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I love wonderwoman videos as much as her written nature travel guides! So video making it is now haha, looking forward to more of your nature videos!!♥
ReplyDeletenice video! i love taking photos and videos as well specially when travelling its a great things to make us all remember the good times and bad and keep people intack al together.
ReplyDeleteMissed seeing the content of the video. There is a glitch that happened in my pc and that causes me to suffer from doing things minus the flash player. Anyway, snorkeling seems a very nice experience.
ReplyDeleteAs always, lovely photos. And I am looking forward for more videos in your posts. You'll perfect it in no time.
ReplyDeleteToo bad, I can’t watch the entire video because of my slow internet connection. Anyways, I like seeing the photos because it brings joy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI focus on your beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteAy I always have that moment that no matter how I stare in the computer nothing would come up in my mind, just a total blank and when this happen, I will get zero income sigh! Your pictures are very inspiring, geez I miss soaking in a sea.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Betchai, you are not alone, I have so many ideas on what to write, unfortunately when i sit on my computer everything goes away. no matter what i do, that's why i ask for help from other bloggers and friends. might need our brain to relax and cool down.
ReplyDeleteI have my fair share of blogging block Ate. Pag ganyan, I only go out and take any random pictures. Sometimes, I eat. Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am currently having a writer's block. No choice, but to write interim posts. The rest are guests posts.
