There is a section of beach where elephant seals congregate to mate, feed, lounge, etc. Early in the year you can go and see the pups. These pups are a few months old and many of their mothers have already left to eat. When the pups get hungry enough they will venture to the ocean and learn to swim and catch fish in the shallows. Then, as per their instincts, they will swim off and continue the cycles of life.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5387-718116.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5387-718097.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5310-757081.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5310-757063.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5355-757124.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/_DSC5355-757104.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352054258296527379-3537731806227525087?l=www.swiftstorm.com%2Fblog'/></div>Taylor Adam Swifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396271674696004184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352054258296527379.post-21806005358903822452009-05-09T10:50:00.000-07:002009-05-09T16:05:18.521-07:00The Getty Villa.

Amazing place. I took this while on a road trip with my buddy Seth. Every chance I get, I drive through Glacier. It is one of those places that sticks with you. Once you've been there you always remember it. Or at least that is how it is for me. Clear lakes, proud mountains, rushing rivers, beautiful, wild country. Cherish the wild places around you.<br /><br />The first 2 summers I was here in CA i took some time off. Summer number 1, the brother sister team of Kate and Stephen flew out and we drove the length and height of the country. Three of us living in a 2door honda civic for 10 (ten) days. Can you imagine? If you have a similar story, please share it. It was such a fun time! We watched the world cup in Salt Lake City in an Applebees. We saw Yellowstone and then the Grand Canyon.<br /><br />Summer number 2, Seth flew out and we took the northern route. Gabe's wedding. Good times. We got pulled over and searched after seeing Mt Rushmore, Seth tried to steal Washington... just kidding. It was an ordeal, funny now, and even a little bit at the time. We were looking pretty rough, many days on the trail. Good times.<br /><br />Reminisce.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352054258296527379-3672987177054296571?l=www.swiftstorm.com%2Fblog'/></div>Taylor Adam Swifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396271674696004184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352054258296527379.post-66879779875579805262009-02-20T13:17:00.000-08:002009-02-20T13:43:27.564-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/swift_reflection_10-715528.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://www.swiftstorm.com/blog/uploaded_images/swift_reflection_10-715525.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Somehow over the last 20 days I have become 7 days behind in this whole blog updating deal. My bad. It has been an interesting process. Reflecting on how I thought this would go and how it actually happened has been good. I had hoped that I would have time every single day to sit down and type something that could be more than a surface level inspection of the past three years. However, find the inspiration to do that has been hard. Some days stuff seems to flow, other days I could barely open the blog to add something and still other days I missed out completely. Often I found myself to busy or completely forgetting to post. Everything I want to do requires some form of sacrifice. Some more than others. Compared to having a family, career, obligations, a partner, blogging (which one of these doesn't belong here?) does not carry much weight. Blogging, in the scheme of things, is fairly insignificant, but if it helps me to connect with people, I'm all for it. People are what matter.<br /><br />I hope this finds my friends and family well! I have had amazing news over the last few weeks of babies being born, wedding plans (not my own, I'd let you know), friendships, all sorts of things.<br /><br />For now, fairwell!<br />Take luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352054258296527379-6687977987557980526?l=www.swiftstorm.com%2Fblog'/></div>Taylor Adam Swifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396271674696004184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352054258296527379.post-64117212166358231502009-02-19T14:01:00.000-08:002009-02-19T15:04:02.228-08:00Mabry Mill.<br />Aging buildings.

Definitely something everyone should experience in their lifetime. The Channel Islands create a beautiful scape along the horizon. This is another one from my first session at Brooks. The sun is an amazing thing. A sunset where the sun sets solely beyond the horizon is nice, but when there is something else to reflect and distort the light its beauty multiplies. Clouds, water, distant mountains, faces of friends, wet beaches, life.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352054258296527379-6090187858978937809?l=www.swiftstorm.com%2Fblog'/></div>Taylor Adam Swifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396271674696004184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352054258296527379.post-49682911375655531122009-02-13T19:14:00.000-08:002009-02-13T19:47:16.516-08:00Chris, thank you so much!<br />I received this little guy on thursday.
