Flashback: Summer ’09
These past few days have been SO BORING. I still have the stye in my eyelid, but it’s much better now, not as swollen as it was. The bad news is that I was bitten by some bug (ain’t I lucky?!) so I have a lot of bug bites. And I’m allergic to bug bites which makes it even worse. I just can’t catch a break these days, can I?
So I’ve been at home the past week, only went out to go to the doctor, twice. Not fun. I haven’t even exercised (and I miss my gym and trainer, how crazy is that?). I’m not worried at all but I just miss it. I’m in a good mood despite all of this, so I guess that’s good.
The weather was great for a few weeks but since yesterday that it’s been crappy. It’s raining and ugh, I’m so sick of rain! I’ve been day dreaming about going on vacation! So I started looking at pictures from last years’ vacation and thought I’d share them with you.
There’s a lot of them, so prepare yourself.


































































I miss it all! I can’t wait to go back, honestly.
Anyway, that’s all from me for now. I still have to reply to your comments, you’ve all been so incredibly supportive.. it makes me smile so much, thank you. See you tomorrow!
hope the sun comes out soon and you’re sicknesses go away!
where did you learn photography? seriously – you know how to make the most ordinary things look amazing!
It’s official, I now want to go on vacation! Those pics are great. You must have a nice camera. haha.
Hi Diana!! I just read your “Exposed” post, which was beautiful and honest. I have a lot of issues with anxiety as well!! It’s actually much more common than most people know, and being a perfectionist and having a worry-worry mindset has been something I’ve had to (and still am, actively) working on. I’m so sorry about your bug bites and styes. I used to get a stye in my eye often when I was growing up!! They are not fun at all.
Those pictures are gorgeous!! I have never been anywhere that looks close to that! Makes me excited for summer!!! (As I sit here studying for BioPsych!)
Hugs to you and happy Sunday, Miss AMAZING photographer!!!

Yes, I have vacation envy now. What a beautiful place! I absolutely must visit Portugal someday.
Beautiful photos!
Your photos are incredible!!!! Oh my goooosh. Love it. What photo software do you use?
I just got Lightroom but I have no idea how to use it, lol.
Hope you feel better! I am semi-allergic to bug bites and I swell up and itch like mad.
Hope you feel better soon! I recognized your pictures right away. My family is from Portugal and I have been there several times….especially Ohao! BEAUTIFUL pictures! Was is just vacation or were you also visiting family?
You should look into photography. You really capture “moods” well. Just lovely!
Beautiful photos as always Diana!! Are those fresh figs? I’ve never tried them – they’re a rare find on the East coast of Canada!
Ooof, I’ve had styes on my eye before and they are no fun. I had to get one laser removed when I was in high school. AND I’m allergic to bug bites too – and often get them on my eyes! Just rock a pair of sunglasses
awesome pictures. makes me ready for summer!
Such amazing pictures. I love the one with all of the candy! Sorry about your stye girlie!
BEAUTIFUL Diana!! The colors just absolutely POP! What an amazing talent you are
