Welcome to Chaos !!

I used to be diligent about bringing my own cup for my daily latte.....then I started slacking but now I'm back on track. I don't want to preach to people about the importance of recycling and the effort of bringing your own cup if you can and then don't practice what I preach. I don't want to be a hypocrite but I know that I am sometimes, then I catch myself and correct myself. So latte in my own reusable cup and two cranberry muffins. My breakfast.



Chhaya says she wants a fun walk or hike later.....that's fine with me.

Mine and Cindy's last stop on our photo shoot road trip last month was in Nelson Ghost Town Nevada, not too far from Las Vegas and well worth a visit. I definitely need to go back and I want to bring Chhaya so she can see it too. Chhaya needs some pretty pictures there.

Cindy spotted an abandoned house next to the road in Searchlight Nevada. So we stopped and snapped some shots.
I love the light coming through the cracks.....and the green ledges around the doors and windows.

I still have some more pictures from my shoot with Cindy, so I am going to put them up but not all at once so you don't get a "pictures of Tatiana overload" and want to barf all over the screen because you are so over it. I hope I get to shoot with Cindy again, it's fun and I like the results. And you might wonder......"Why does she take pictures" or "Who does she think she is...... like.....a model or something?" I take pictures because I LOVE photography and I enjoy being in front of the camera, you know some people take selfies and share them (I do too) and I am lucky enough to have talented photographers like Cindy and others that are willing to take pictures of me for free. It's an exchange, my time for their time. I have liked photography for a long time, since early teen years. Do I think I am a model? No. I am just an ordinary girl that likes to take pictures. It makes for a nice memory, time goes by fast and a picture capture that moment forever.
Me and the Joshua tree......







In a new tunic that I love but I didn't realize my leggings would show through underneath it (so pardon that blunder).

I just got done watching the Grammys. I was under the impression that my beautiful Rihanna was going to perform but I didn't even see her. Was I mistaken, what happened? Well, that made me disappointed....
I love singing and dancing, being a performer as in singer would probably be my dream profession but I am not musically inclined like that but I can fantasize right?
Lady Gaga did a David Bowie number. Now that man was talented and interesting but the most beautiful thing about him was the genuine and pure love he seemed to have for his wife and family. To me that is something so special, I wish we all could have that true and pure love with someone. David Bowie seemed to be a really nice person, I will feel extra much every time I hear Let's Dance from now on, I love that song.
And I really wanted The Weeknd to win at least one (or more) Grammy, his album is amazing, so many of the songs are sooooo good and his voice is beautiful, so I was disappointed there too. One more disappointing thing, this new ice cream that I got, Gelato Fiasco. Yuck. I didn't even finish it and for me to not finish ice cream is like never heard of.....Fiasco for sure. I will try it again in a different flavor before I write it off because I believe in second chances.... But now it's time for bed.

There is a heart shaped sculpture with padlocks attached to it outside Container Park in Vegas called The Love Locket. I haven't been down there since last year sometime. People attached padlocks and notes to it as a symbol for their love for someone or each other......so cute! Well, it got vandalized recently. Who would vandalize such a beautiful symbol of LOVE and why? Perfect example of the evil and nasty people that are roaming around everywhere. The creator of The Love Locket (Nova May) said that she was sad when she heard the news about what happened but then she said that, "Just like love, the piece was always a work in progress." After dark comes light, and after destruction, you rebuild. What a positive and heart warming message! So what happened next? Well, the Downtown Project stepped in and fixed the part that was vandalized and you can now buy new locks to hang on the sculpture with half of the purchase price going to The American Heart Association. Love always prevails!
Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I wish you all love and happiness.
Me and The Love Locket.....
