bookstores, golden clouds, and the great outdoors (florida photography)

Hello, humans. How are you? Back in June, I went to Florida for a week. It was a pretty chill time to kick off summer break, but we had quite a few adventures. Stick around for some (hopefully) pretty pictures and spontaneous commentary. 🙂

I have a lot more photography to share from Colorado, but that’ll be another post. And I’ll try to throw in a bookish or writing post in between for some variety.

We got to visit a few indie bookstores on this trip, which of course I loved. This one store was completely dedicated to mystery books… I wouldn’t mind going there again someday and spending more time perusing the shelves. I could use some more mystery books in my life.

Have any of you read this yet? I’ve heard mixed opinions, but I personally really look forward to reading it.

My brother and I had some fun making a reading vlog over the course of the week. Unfortunately, YouTube will never be graced with our insanity.

A few minutes into this beach trip, the sky opened up. Let’s just say we got soaked as we ran blindly through the downpour and to the safety of the car. And so did the book in my backpack. Within These Lines‘s hardcover is now a bit wrinkled. 😥

A zoomed-in view from our room.

The trail had a lot of signs with nature quotes, which were pretty interesting.

It’s a lovely world, isn’t it?

Thanks for taking time to look at these pictures and listen to my random stories. All 300 of you. I promise to check in a little more.

Have a beautiful rest of your summer and an even more beautiful autumn. 🙂
