stormy sky to summer sea

Netherlands native Marinus {creator and curator of the blog Head Like an Orange} makes beautiful moving pictures out of stills taken from wildlife documentaries.

Below I've compiled some of his lovely work into a summer storm story, beginning on the plains of Texas and ending somewhere in an ocean.  

Enjoy.

PHOTO SHOOT Guest Star

Our lovely model & pal Chloë and her new hubby Jimmy have returned from their honeymoon (see the wedding here) 

Though the newlywed couple have relocated to another town, they popped in today and Chloë did some modeling.

It's always a treat to visit with those lovely folks!
