We have a pool in our new house! My dream was to have a house with a pool and we are so lucky to have found this one - it is just perfect. My children have been dying to use it since we bought the house in November, but it has been too cold to even put your toes in. Finally, this past month, the temperature went up past 90ºF so, of course, the kids have been in and out practically every day. Even I have jumped in a few times already! I foresee many years and photos of pool fun ahead. Here are ten of my faves of the three rolls I shot on our last pool afternoon.

This year, I am joining some of my very talented photographer friends in a project called 10 on 10. We will all take 10 photos on one day and try to tell a story through them by posting them on the 10th of each month. We will be linking to each others' sites to create a blogroll. This project will force me to find beauty where or when I can't see it, and will release my time constraints when photographing the beauty that I do see. Here is a link to my friend Audrey's 10 on 10. Go visit and follow the blog roll!

I have always wanted a pretty garden to tend to and watch grow with pride. In our new house, our garden is absolutely beautiful and I am so looking forward to years of gardening ahead! Now that spring has come around in California, I have taken a couple of trips to our local nursery to buy some plants and bulbs in order to continue caring for it with patience and love. Here are 10 of the (film - did I mention I'm doing this project on film?!) photos of our last visit to the nursery with my daughter and her friend.

Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street in San Francisco we find Chinatown, the second largest Asian community in North America. It is a fantastic place to walk as a tourist, but also an opportunity to dine, shop, and hustle about with the locals. You don’t really need an itinerary to visit this part of San Francisco; wandering around through alleys and hilly streets is enough to keep you entertained for more than a few hours.
I recently spent the day there, exactly one day after the Lunar New Year. Here are some of my photos of the day.

We bought a house a few months ago. Although very tiring, it has been so exciting to unpack and make our house feel cozy and our own. For the month of February, I shot a whole roll of film of our new house on a winter morning. Here are my ten favorites.
