I was going to post more Prince William Sound photos today, but I've been sitting on these photos all week and since they are from the shoot in my new header, I just had to post them! This first location I shot at was shown to me by my ex-ex-boyfriend back in high school. He was a crazy nutcase but I'm glad he showed me this place. It's very cool and I'm definitely going back again. It's actually a motocross track and a park, and I was almost locked in! Apparently they close the gates at 9? I started to drive out and all the gates were closed! Luckily they weren't locked, the chain was just draped over to make them look locked, but for a couple seconds I thought I was stuck. I guess it would've been fine since I could've lived in the Brave overnight!
Since I was so rudely interrupted by almost being trapped I decided to continue my photo adventures at a different location. I drove down the coast and stopped by Potters Marsh. People are always out there with enormous lenses taking photographs of birds and wildlife, I was there taking photos of my Winnebago and me. It's so odd, the Brave looks small until I'm standing next to it, then it looks ginormous!
I'm kind of overwhelmed with life right now. I'm not really sure what happened, but I think everything just snowballed. I'm one of those people who needs alone time. I feel like I can't function without time to myself. Unfortunately, I fear that most people just think I'm rude and antisocial when I disappear. I can't help it though, if I don't disappear, I feel like I'm going to completely lose it! Sometimes it seems like every day I get worse at interacting with human beings. I need a vacation, but I have no clue when I'll have more than a weekend to catch up on life. One week! I wish life had spring break. Or summer vacation. That would be swell!

Oh, I love your Brave! I am going on a road trip as well, but will be going the boring way - in a car. Either way, it's very exciting!
I definitely sympathize with your needing alone time. I get so overwhelmed if I'm constantly around people day after day. When we go to visit family during the holidays, I almost reach a breaking point, because it's a constant go go go situation. It's nice to hide away once in awhile.
Oh I love your pictures, reports and spirit .. if this is the right kind of word to use. It's a little bit difficult to describe my enthusiasm when English isn't my mothertongue. And I definitly understand what you mean by the alone time .. It's similar with me. Great blog!
wow - love the outfit and location!!!!
im with you on the alone time...i need it or i become a total basket case!
These pictures are so wonderful, and I love your outfit! Don't feel bad about needing some alone time, I can totally relate. Hope things calm down and that you feel better! :)
I love that dress, seriously have been contemplating ordering it on Modcloth for awhile now!And I love how you paired it with flannel
I need my alone time too. Sometimes when I am trying to meet people I make the mistake of overfilling my schedule and then instead of enjoying socializing with new people I just scowl at them and wait for a moment when I can retreat back to my house and watch bad TV alone. I guess I just really need that. I especially learned this when my roommate was always in the room during first semester, I never really had any "me" time. Before I officially packed my bags and moved out, we got so bad we actually scheduled alone time, it was ridiculous, but clearly alone time is necessary
That dress is adorable. Actually, the entire look is pretty much to die for.
love these shots. they make be want my own Winnebago way too bad.
What beautiful photos, you and your Brave look so good together!

lovely photos, and your dress is so pretty! the place looks amazingly beautiful.
These photos and your outfit combined all look so romantic in a soft, dusty way (if that makes any sense...). I'm usually outgoing to a fault, where I crave attention and company, but there are times when just being by myself is just what I need to keep from screaming. Maybe even five minutes of zen time would be better than none.

i feel ya girl!
you look fantastic! i'm so glad you used this image in your header. it looks great
I COMPLETELY know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed without alone time. I'm studying abroad in the U.K. (I'm from Seattle) and I'm in my 2nd of 10 weeks and wish I could take a break from it so bad as much as I love it.
Beautiful beautiful pictures. When people frustrate me I like to think of secret things they can never know about me and I kind of relax into myself again.
Very pretty photos, I really like the shirt ! I toally get what you mean about needing alone time! Im also not very good in big groups...I am not sure why, I just seem to clam up a little even if it is good friends. I much prefer smaller groups or one on one !
You would not believe how much we have in commong.
"Sometimes it seems like every day I get worse at interacting with human beings."
Seriously, that could have come straight from my head!!! I feel so horrible. Making friends is such a task for me!!!
OMG, the Winnebago is so huuuuge! I've never seen one but only judging from its height I'd be afraid to drive it..haha
Can't wait to read all the amazing stories from your trip! I am planning something similar for the next summer or summer 2012, we'll see :)
And btw: I looove the pattern mix of your outfit! And the pics are gorgeous as usual!
Love, Diana

I know how it is to want time to yourself. I'm a serial hermit, so I completely understand.
I love the mixed prints in your outfit, too; you look like an Alaskan gypsy.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm a very solitary person myself and often people think I'm being moody and antisocial. But to be honest, I'm perfectly happy sitting by myself, content with my own company.
I can sympathise with you greatly.
all the colours are beautiful here! and that outfit is perfect on you.
i know exactly how you feel... luckily i have a two week break from university coming up, but i hope you find the time you need :)

i love how you layered your button down over your dress! very pretty.
i hope you are taking time to relax and not worry about your job or upcoming trip -- i know it sounds difficult but you gotta do it!
Let me know if you find that elusive spring break or summer holidays somewhere in life! And don't forget to give me the directions :)
There's nothing wrong with being an introvert! I need a dip in the tub or an hour with trashy reality tv every once in a while as well!
you've got this ; )
Ahh the new header is incredible, and so are all these photos. I'm totally with you and the need-to-be-alone-mood. And I think it's partially because I fear I'll be a complete bitch to some innocent person if I don't stop and chill out for a second.
I can't wait for the trip to begin. I will definitely be living vicariously through you.
These photos are really beautiful and I love your outfit! You match the brave perfectly! I really wish life had a summer vacation too! I would go back home to New York for awhile.
Beautiful photos and dress<3
xo, Lynzy

these photos (and that outfit) are some of my favourites that you've ever posted! so gorgeous.
i love your look so fucking awesome
your hair is amazing!
totally feel ya on the break-from-life type of thing. i think that's why people have episodes of dissociative fugue (where they get amnesia about who they are and just start new lives in another place, totally unaware that they're considered missing)....well that was a long definition, but I think you know what I mean! lol
Love the new blog header!
Love how it looks so country!
I love this! Little you next to Winne! Perfect match. I totally know what you mean about needing some time to catch up and be alone and/or do nothing. I get so overwhelmed sometimes.. thinking.. where's the end!! Haha!
Yeah, I'm the same, as much as I want to imagine myself quite the social butterfly, I do have to have some recluse time otherwise I start twitching. Here's to the disapearers! Don't worry, people just love us more when we finally return ;)
What camera do you use by the way? im really looking around to buy a DSLR atm, I've scrolled through alot of your posts seeing if I'd missed you saying. Also, how much to you edit your photos, contrast etc?

I'm a HUGE advocate of time alone. Without it, I start to feel so trapped and suffocated. It's necessary sometimes just to organize your thoughts.
I love the sight of your outfit against the landscape. It's so whimsical. I like the sort of washed out feeling they've got to them.
I also totally know what you mean about needing solitude!
Love the new header, love the Brave, and love the outfit.
yaya-just ordered that dress the other day from modcloth. I think we're about the same size, so I'm so excited to get it!
Love the Winnie, very cool!
this location is perfect. It is good that your ex-ex-boyfriend showed it to you or you would never have these gorgeous photos!!!
video of the Brave? soon? SOON?
These photos are absolutely gorgeous. You should come hang out with me and teach me to properly use a camera! Love, Annie.
you're living an awesome dream of mine! i had a taste of living out of a campervan in australia for a week and i've wanted to go back to a semi-nomadic lifestyle for yearssss....... also, i empathize with your introverted personality. sometimes you just have to turn off your phone and make window treatments on a friday night (that's what i did last night!). good on to ya to for being who you are......
