Last Week On Instagram: February 24, 2014

This past week was a pretty slow week with Instagram posts. I feel like I'll have more posts once we enter the spring and I'm able to get outside and explore a little more. There appears to be a theme that has started to pop up recently though. I am drawn to the evening light... that soft light that appears just before sunset. I don't think there is any more beautiful time of the day. I've also enjoyed taking red light photos to document my travels and routes I take. I only have four pics this week so it'll probably be a pretty short post.


I honestly thought this was just funny when I passed by. First, there is the absolutely filthy, disgusting black snow that almost looks like a crazy crystal formation. Then there is the random soda sitting there. It looks like someone put it there to chill until they were ready to finish it... and I really hope that's not the case because half of the dirt in Long Island is on that snow.
*Edited to add - I don't condone littering and not recycling your bottles/cans. We pick up bottles and cans tossed in front of the studio on a regular basis and add it to our recycling. I just thought the imagery was amusing.


I took this one because it is the light that I absolutely love. The soft evening light coming in through the bare tree. It's so pretty and the weather has been so warm it was such a pleasure to spend some time outside without risking hypothermia.


This is probably my favorite photo of the week. More red light photography ;) This is one of my favorite roads to drive. The tree lined streets studded with big, beautiful homes make the drive really pleasant. This photo was also taken at sunset so the sky is fiery and pretty and I even love the reflection of the red light in the puddle. And it was taken super super quick too. This is definitely a lucky picture ;)


This one is leaving the sunset behind me. Like I said, the weather has been so amazing and you can't tell by the giant snow piles in the rearview mirror but the snow has been melting very rapidly and the weather has been balmy and really pleasant. I've been enjoying being in the car (which doesn't happen often) and I've even been driving around with my windows open enjoying the fresh air :)

So that's all I have from Instagram this week. I hope you all enjoyed my yesterday's Nature Box review post. I'll be back Wednesday with some food pics for you! Have you all been liking these new themed days? I've been enjoying it quite a bit... it has definitely helped to keep my interest which is always a good thing.

Hope your week has started off well! Have a great night!

    1. I'm not sure I like that soda bottle in the filthy snow. In fact, I'm 100% positive I don't. Otherwise, it is interesting to see your commute.

    2. I'm guessing you are bothered by the littering/recycling issue? It was in front of the studio and I actually looked for it when I got in today because I was going to recycle it if it was still there but it was gone. I can only hope it went to the right place. It was replaced by an empty can which ended up in our recycling bag. We are right next to a deli so a lot of stuff ends up in front of the studio which is really annoying but we do our best to make sure to recycle what needs to be recycled.

  2. Ooh, I love these evening sun shots, as well as the commute! Lots of snow melting is definitely a good thing! It's actually snowing here right this minute. :(

    1. Thank you! Yes the snow melting is great although it's actually snowing here now too! It's just a dusting though thankfully. Hopefully you didn't get too much either!
