Wow, what a crazy month! We’ve already heard from so many of you since we got back from China about a week ago, and everyone is asking one thing… “why haven’t you blogged?”, which is a really good question considering our last post was almost 4 weeks ago. The answer to that question is actually a combination of two things, the fact that we’ve been traveling for the last 6 weeks (Colorado, then China), and more importantly, the fact that we had a hard drive crash the day before we left for China. I’ve got a whole blog post set aside for that one, and it’s coming right up, so check that out for the full details. All that to say, we’re back on the blog scene, and we’re going to kick off May with a blog marathon so sit back and enjoy.

China was such an amazing experience, and we’ll be posting a series of images that we took on our trip, but that will come a little bit later. Here’s a little teaser image from on top of the great wall. Check back soon for the rest.

This morning we woke to up to the brisk cold air of the Plymouth Massachusetts coastline. On Friday we flew from L.A to New York for Kyle & Erica’s engagement session! Despite the rain we had a blast spending all day Saturday with them in downtown N.Y., as they gave us a tour of the city while they modeled for us on every street corner. (Check back in the next week or so for photos from the session!) Sunday morning we rented a car and drove through Connecticut and Rhode Island to a little bed & breakfast called “The White Swan” which we thought was fitting since Evoke has some partiality to white swans. Stay tuned for a few photos from our little 3 day excursion on our quest for the famous east coast fall colors.

On Thursday, Emi & I pulled over off the I-15 just south of Corona and grabbed these shots of the sun going down through the smoke from one of the Southern California Fires. A little further south and a mask was necessary to spend any amount of time outside of the car because of the smoke. The fire came right up to the property line of both of our parents house, but thanks to the hard work of the fire fighters both houses were saved. We will try to get some photo coverage later in the week, and we’ll keep you posted.
