nick & hannah

Not so newly newly weds. :)

open sesame

You're never too old or young to lick the icing off the candles!

hitchhiker

This beautiful butterfly landed on me about a block from the house and stayed with me the whole way home.

abercrombie & finch

Or maybe Finch & Thistle would be a better title?

one cubic foot

Industrial pop of color for the day.

garden delight

My garden is painted with oranges and reds.

capstone banner

I've been working on my online portfolio this week, the last obstacle between me and graduation! I decided to make a photo collage of some favorites to use as a banner on the site.

get well soon

My brother-in-law had his gallbladder removed earlier this week. We ran across a whole bunch of "hope you get over your cold" and "hope you get out of the hospital soon" cards, but none really seemed to say exactly what we wanted to say. In the end, we decided to make one out of awesome Scooby Doo band-aids and card stock. Gromit gave it a big hug for good measure. :) Get well soon, Greg!

limited perspective

A friend and I paid a visit to the Light Factory before heading to the derby this afternoon. We felt inspired by one of the exhibits and decided to try our own "Limited Perspective" photos.

reinVent

I found these bottom-of-the-alphabet monogrammed shadowboxes for less than $2 ea. at Hobby Lobby. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with them, but I smell a trash-to-treasure project in the works!

flashback to january

Remembering cooler times...

no trespassing

Downtown Little Washington (one from the archives).

28-pointer

Quit playing games with my heart...

another grate shot

Wonder how long this Ford's been out of commission.

no. 13

A nearby field of broken down fire trucks provides for a fun photo op!

black and gold

Getting up close and personal with a common but beautiful winged creature.

go team USA

Congratulations to the US women's soccer team. Good luck this weekend!

signed, sealed, delivered

My newest pendant, made from a vintage Czechoslovakian stamp (front) and the inside of a security envelope (back).

some like it hot

Some say cockroaches will outlive man and one day rule the world. What does it say about our world when it's too hot even for its superior creatures to survive?

bathtime

I took some new house pictures today and was going back through some old ones. Whenever I feel like we are drowning in to-do-ness, I need to realize the to-done-ness of this place. We've come so far!

dwell studios

I'm obsessing over this quilt, so I thought I might as well post it as my photo for today. It's not worth what it costs, but I can still enjoy it from afar. Who knew bedding was so expensive?

unrequited love

Roxy: I have to go home.
Gromit: I'll never let go, Roxy. I'll never let go...

tongue tied

"For the last time, STOP LICKING ME!"

Big G

"Roxy, go relax," Gromit says in his best mob boss voice.

ge + rs

Gromit's face says it all. He is enjoying having Roxy around!

cheating

I've run out of pictures (and steam, for that matter). I'm cheating a bit in posting this one, which was taken on our way home from vacation last year, but I saw clouds that were every bit as cumulus and grass that was every bit as green this year. I didn't edit this one at all--the colors really were that vivid. I miss the mountains already!

streaming

I'm really excited this shot came out clear, especially considering I took it sans tripod!

alarka falls

Definitely worth the rock-hopping, gnat-swatting, and snake-jumping hike!

mingo falls

Definitely worth the 150 steps and short hike!

splish splash!

Everett enjoys a cool dip in the afternoon while mommy, daddy, and Uncle Seth rest their weary bones after a tumble in the creek.

zip it

Slightly belated but no less fun, Seth and his mom went zip-lining to celebrate her birthday. It's no secret where he gets his sense of adventure!
