I didn’t miss one single sunrise or sunset for 9 straight days, these photos here are for the first sunrise of my West Coast trip. I can’t believe there’s so much natural beauty in this life, I mean, look at those colors! I’m taking this moment to give thanks for having the opportunity to witness nature.

One of the most beautiful times i’ve seen the moon that pretty and that full.
Hi guys,
I woke thinking about my adventures from last year and I had to to revive my road trip so I went to the Death Valley memories on my iPhone and oh la la, if you follow me for a little while now, you probably know how much I loved visiting Death Valley National Park, it was just so beautiful (and hot), I would never recommend enough. Is so nice to revive good times, thank god for technology huh?
The world is suffering and Mother Earth is angry with all of us, this is a sacred punishment that was sent to us and we need to acknowledge and must try to change for better and take care of ourselves and our planet. I’m really happy I was able to make this trip at that time, it was just right timing. I know things will get better someday and we’ll be okay if we take care of ourselves and others, really!, but in the meantime, no West Coast adventures until new notice, I had my trip planned to visit the PNW but travels are suspended. So all I have is my memories and trying to find new local adventures instead! Hey, i’m going to a Shark Dive next week and I can’t wait!!! Right on time for Shark Week.
Where are you traveling next in the US? What is your favorite National Park? When do you think we can travel again?
Light & Love,
Teresa.
I hope someday I can inspire some of you to go somewhere by yourself. I know is a little weird going some places alone but is actually really good for your soul, every single time i’ve been on a trip, short or long, I get to connect more with myself and I come back home feeling really good, inspired, healthy, energized and with a lot of positive thoughts. I know a lot of people that never go out and never do anything fun because they need to be with someone else, you shouldn’t wait for anyone to go with you if you really want to, just book that ticket, rent a car or take the train! Make a list of places you want to visit and start planning.
My bucket list is long but i’ve crossed many things from it already and I will continue to do so as soon as is safe to travel. I really wanted to go to the PNW and visit other National Parks this summer but the pandemic happened, in the meantime, i’m planning my next adventure here in NY and that will be underwater… Stay tuned.
I’m sharing these photos I took in Davenport, California in 2019, this place was the last stop on my itinerary from my road trip, right after here I drove straight to the San José airport to fly back home in Brooklyn, NY. I hope you get the vibe,
Besos,
Teresa.

By the ocean is when I feel the presence of the absent the most, “ I FEEL YOU” is a work that expresses my thoughts and reflexions about the absence and the presence of the people we love that is no longer physically around us but we feel connected to them, there is irony in the concept; “I FEEL YOU” is a message I send to the most amazing natural things that Mother Earth gives us, the ocean, the sun, wildlife, flowers, rocks, trees, etc.
I’m so thrilled to share with you this light work i’ve created to celebrate the presence and the absence of a soul or a place we feel connected to.
“I Feel you” is my message to those i love the most, is a love letter to the ocean and nature and is the way I honor “your presence” and live “your absence”.
On October 4th of 2010 I lost my father due to sudden heart and respiratory problems, it was a surprise and I was devastated, my dad was gone. He would’ve been 71 years old today on June 11th 2020, Its been 10 years since he is not physically with me but he is present in my heart. This piece I dedicate to him!
Light & love for you always,
Teresa.
Hey friends, i just posted on my shop a new LENTICULAR POSTCARD for you! It’s such a cool piece of art , measures 5X7, this postcard is from an art installation that I photographed in March at Laguna Beach in California, the name of the neon sculpture/artwork is “Neon Rose (This is how I say I love you)”. Some of us believe that giving a flower, rose, carnation, sunflower, plants, etc, to someone means that you like/care/love that person, this artwork represents me offering a rose to the ocean, the sun, nature and also to the presence of the people I love and miss the most so i decided to put it on a postcard. Get one and write a message on the back of it to someone you love or you haven’t seen in a while, you will make them feel loved, let’s make this happen and spread the love together, with my work and with your words.
Week #9
Hey!, I feel like I can’t do May, I wish we can skip this month and we can go straight to June so I can be outside and go to the beach on a sunny June day. * * * Update, last week of May got a little better, still craving for that Sunny June days tho * * *
I’m sharing this photo of this beautiful place in Big Sur, Ca., McWay falls! As you all probably know I live in New York and I love it, it’s been my home for the past 8 years but I also love California, in 2019 I spent a lot of time there. Mc Way falls was part of my itinerary from a road trip I did on September and it didn’t disappoint me, I got to this specific spot right before sunset, I felt like I wasn’t precisely there but on a different place, maybe in a “Distant Island” per se, is so amazing!
Going back to my travels photos, helps me so much when I feel a little down because I revive those moments and they make me remember how lucky I am sometimes for many reasons. I want to physycally escape somewhere away from here but I can’t right now so in the meantime i’m just mentally escaping to those places I adore like Big Sur.
Hasta pronto!,
Teresa.

This is one of my favorite photos I took last year, I have so many great memories from my trips, i’m so thankful I was able to be present in this exact moment when the sun was about to set. This photo was taken in Santa Cruz, California, you can see a person there in the middle, he was the only surfer in this beach, he seemed focus and calm, It was a beautiful day, I can’t imagine that feeling of being in the middle of the ocean waiting and waiting and waiting for that opportunity to “ride that wave”, trying, again and again without getting drowned or without getting bit by a shark… I can’t express with more words but there’s so much more behind this image and this analogy, I just wanna say I hope you never stop trying and you ride great waves in your life.
I can’t wait to visit the West Coast again.
Be safe,
Teresa.

HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYBODY!
I hope we can take a moment to think about our dear planet, we live in a wonderful place, nature is amazing and we must respect it and take care of it everyday, is hard to do so because we are so busy living in routine that we forget about it.
Maybe we can eat less meat and recycle more and be nice to each other every day. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to respect our Mother Nature as well as live in it to the fullest.
I wanted to share these photos below, they are from a trip I made to Big Sur on September 2019, on my way there from Carmel I wanted to make a quick stop for my roses photoshoot in Garrapata Beach and a small valley of lilies, it was such a beautiful day, please enjoy. We are so lucky to be living in this land with so much nature!
Best always,
Teresa.
