tuesdays tune...


"My barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon."-Masahide
While one of my besties was in town we took a road trip up North to one of my favorite places on the planet, Big Sur. Fate would have it that there was torrential rain prior to our trip which caused mud slides both North and South of the Freeway entrance into Big Sur, which meant a complete detour through a National Park.  Fate would also have it that because of this alternate route, Big Sur was completely deserted the entire weekend.....Who could imagine that Big Sur could become even more breathtaking? Just take a few extra tourists out and bingo!  

From 2008-2009 almost 180 000 acres of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park was burned to the ground. It's pretty unbelievable to still see the extensive damage that was done and even more amazing to witness the ability that nature has to readjust and rebuild itself so spectacularly. 
When you're still in the midst of some pretty large life changes {like myself} it's nice to be reminded of what's possible, especially after what seems like such a loss.... Which in this case, looks a lot like an even brighter rebirth.

  1. That's really beautiful Tash. Awesome pictures of you, both but the last one is especially so. A rebirth is exciting too. My Mother is going through that right now. I remind her often to keep her eyes forward because better things are ahead. For you too.
