Llano River in Tx. Specifically in the very small town of Castile.

Sitting on my dad's front porch, wrapped in a blanket against the chill morning air, drinking coffee in companionable silence, and watching the sun rise over the treetops, listening to the cows mooing to each other as they make their way to the stock tank for their morning drink.

In the past: Sleeping in my grandma's garden shed on camp beds with my sister, reading and talking until late at night, listening to the wind in the trees and the owls hooting.

In the present: When our sweet little children climb into bed for cuddles with us on a sunny morning after we've all had a good sleep.

this may sound weird, but specifically Pandora (from James Cameron's Avatar) at Disneyworld Animal Kingdom. I've been OBSESSED with the movie ever since I've watched it, making my own creatures, characters, etc etc. it's just... whenever I go there (i've been there twice) the smells, the sounds, the atmosphere is brought to life. it's like stepping into a dream you've always wanted to be real, except it is real, and right in front of you.

Grandma's backyard. Swinging on patio, watching and listening to the birds sing. Surrounded by beautiful trees and plants. With a cup of coffee.
