The Nancy Drew Handbook

I love the look of old books, and I also like Nancy Drew. And this book fits in both of those categories.

I love the texture of the cover, and the classic blue and yellow theme.

The blue and yellow theme continues on the inside. Actually, those are the only two colors in the book!

A Favorite

As I mentioned before, this is one of my new favorite photos. I love the deep, dark green in the grass and the brown, crisp leaf. 

Here is a poem about fall, that I wrote two years ago for English. Writing isn't really my thing, especially poems. But I like how this one turned out:

A Leaf's Journey

By Sereina Charise

As I float down from my tree,
I’m happy that I am free.

I’m red like an apple,
But I used to be green.

I was small in the spring,
But I soon grew big.

We are as thin as a piece of paper,
And when we turn brown and crisp,
We are as fragile as glass.

It is a piece of pie,
For me and my friends
To fly in the sky.

When the wind starts blowing,
I will begin my journey,
I just hope that I won’t get dirty.

The wind will blow,
As cold as a winter snow,
And we will all go.

I hope to go to many new places,
And to meet many new faces.

But once the wind stops blowing,
I will have to stop going.

And then my journey will end,
Until the wind starts blowing again.

Fall

Fall is here, and I'm loving it! The temperture has cooled down, and the trees are changing colors. Our house has some fall decorations placed here and there. 


Autumn is such a lovely time of the year...

What's your favorite thing about fall?

A New Look

I decided it was time that I updated my blogs look a little bit. I went for a clean, simple look, going with a white background. I really want the photos to be the focus, and didn't want a distracting background. You may notice a few other changes too:

1. My name is now Sereina Charise Photography, not Sereina's Photography. I had changed my watermark to that a while back, but now the title of the blog match.

2. I have a new button. If your a fan of my Facebook page (Click here if you haven't seen it), that's the picture I used. It's a new favorite of mine. Feel free to grab my new button!

3. I have a new font for my post titles, date posted, and sidebar titles. I used Digs My Hart, a Kevin and Amanda Scrapbook font.

I did end up keeping the light green color theme. I really like that color, and I think my blog will always have those colors.

My old design:


So, what do you think of the new look?

Wet

After raining all night, everything is quite wet, even the car. I never knew rain on the hood of a mini-van could look so cool. And I love the lighting....
