So I dusted off the lens and set to shooting again.โฃ โฃ I love super white photos (as you can see in my feed). I've got a long way to go, and while the white background has a bluish tint, I'm happy with the color of the stones.โฃ โฃ Only a billion shots more to go. โฃ โฃ #purplelotusyoga โฃ #wisdomwednesday #wednesdaywisdom #yogablogger #yogoapracticenotyogaperfect #yogipreneur #yogabusiness #intentionallife #liveintentionally #simplify #mindbodyconnection #mindfullife #thisisyoga #yogaoffthemat
