I visited my hometown this past weekend for the last time before my travels, and to say a temporary goodbye to my family and friends.

In order to celebrate my last views of Santa Cruz and to serve as a reminder of why I love this place so much, here are a few photos of what home means to me.

“What a life I lead when the sun breaks free, as a giant torn from the clouds. What a life indeed when that ancient seed is a-buried, watered, and plowed.” – Fleet Foxes
