 With the winter officially coming to an end, and the last bit of snow disappears. Two Sand Hill Cranes make their way across a field of snow.

      Australia! That is all. Just kidding, I will definitely be making a trip out there again! Everywhere I went to was absolutely amazing, and beautiful. I will have to get used to the restaurant culture, do to it being completely different from how it is in the US. With not tipping, and everything being freshly prepared full of yummy vegetables. The culture of Australia is very diverse, I honestly didn't know what I thought Australia was going to be like, but I was impressed and in awe of everything.       To Finish up with some photos, I was terrible at taking photos while there so here are some not so great, just barley average photos of some things and animals I had seen. 

 Australia! I can say for certain I will visit again; this land is absolutely beautiful! I have found that the days are cool as long as you are in the shade, and the bugs aren't that bad. The wildlife that I have come across are mainly the birds of Australia. Magpies have been the easiest to photograph, they remind me so much of crows and ravens from back home in the U.S. They are smart and interesting.           The biggest culture shock has been the driving, on the left side of the road.

      This was not only my first time shooting a wedding, but also my first time traveling alone, and my first time going to California. Honestly it was amazing, exhausting, and all-around fun.

I won't lie and say it's the way I prefer to travel, because there were moments, I missed having someone standing beside me, witnessing the beauty this world has to offer. But just like that, I still have the memories to take with me, the stories to share with everyone. Even if I was alone.      The wedding was beautiful, and chaotic. If I could do it again, I would take my time with some of the photos, I would watch more and listen more. The photos I took came out beautiful; the bride loves them. That is what matters, they look so happy and in love!  Had an amazing time in California for the first time! Shot my first Wedding!
