Hawai’i le belle: Elements of a sunshine girl

danielle le belle photography model in oahu hawaii free spirit girl playing on the beach travel wild fun island lifestyle

I was sitting on my surfboard, floating on the surface where the water meets air.

The in between world—am I floating on the surface or sinking into the abyss?

The glitter on the water sparkles like angels dancing on the oceans surface.

It was happening all around, the sun beaming light so powerful it made the water dance.

Those vibrations danced through my body as I hovered in between the elements.

A wave crashes and pulls out and repeats this process—a life-death-life cycle.

It’s never ending, it’s always moving and always changing.

There is not one vibration that is the same

Just like the moment I found myself present in being.

A moment I can come back to no matter where I am or what I’m doing

The infinite abundance of impermanence.

She dances with the waves

She moves to the rays

She is sunshine girl.

Crash: A composition on love in the Bahamas

A composition inspired by our roaring love we share.

crashing love stillness ocean sea
poem and photo journal about love roar ocean
danielle writing poem photo journal inspired by the sea
bodies of love photography
ocean sea crashes and inspired by love
body and clouds photography bahamas
salty skin kiss me under the sun
polaroids crashing love old school photography
he watches the sea crash and breathe bahamas

Crash.

Roar.

Rumble.

Your warm skin tickles my salty hairs as they dance in the beaten sun.

Déjà vu after déjà vu.

This life time is just another wave I ride with you.

How lucky… I found you. You found me. We found we.

      Lucky to Be.

Your eyes radiate the ocean’s tune,

I am drowning in your deep, deep blue.

A complex chaos of blue hues and sunshine juice.

      KISS THE SUN.

I know you, like I know myself.

I love you three Sun’s                

and a half.

Noi siamo una cosa sola.

Nassau, The Bahamas

San Miguel de Allende: A town your eyes will never forget

Walking through a kaleidoscope of colors, filled with authentic art, vibrant food, doors to the unknown and a radiant energy filling the streets. As we accompanied many curious travelers, whom were passing through day by day, we felt safe, welcomed, and respected in the beautiful historic town. This is San Miguel de Allende.

Woke up in casa Air B&B. Cosimo took me upstairs to the rooftop terrace, where the sun was beginning to rise over the eastern sky. The sun filled us up on this beautiful clear morning. We park the car and begin our walking adventure! We are led by heart, into markets, shops, art galleries, and museums. The town is exploding with colors every step we take. The more we stumble upon the cobbled back roads, the more we get a taste of the vibrancy. The warm colors paint our hearts, as we soak up the authentic details of the old historical town.

The locals were very respectful to tourism and travelers such as ourselves, many smiles on faces as we wandered the streets. We capture moments, take rest stops for tea, indulge in street sweet treats, rooftop nap on the terrace, more tea time, and play in the colorful artsy shops. The town is a warm rainbow; as if all of my favorite colors threw up on the city and painted its skin with life. We walk on our path knowing that all those colors fill us up. We will continue to spill out our authentic colors every step we take.
