hello to all of you out there.



















Random photo post. :)












Starbucks cups are fabulous cups.














Wind chimes are a lovely thing indeed. One day, when I have a house of my own, I should love to have a whole backyard filled with dozens and dozens of wind chimes...

Our new kitty... she's pretty much adorable. :) More {better} pictures of her
will be coming soon.

That is all. There isn't anymore. :)

baseball game + concert + friends = win :)

This past weekend I organized a group to go to an Astros baseball game (goooo Astros!!) and after the game they had a free David Crowder Band concert. How fun is that? :-) Double the fun for the price of one. ha. So, anyway, thought I'd post a couple of my favourites. They're not amazing... but the best I was able to get.



David Crowder! yeah!! he was pretty awesome.

life keeps on spinning

I love this picture and how it's so characteristic of people. Everyone in their own little bubbles, rushing around to get somewhere. Not thinking about anyone around them, just in their own little world.

When I'm in traffic I often look at all the people sitting in their cars and muse at the fact that everyone is trying to hurry and get somewhere. Everyone is in a rush, caught up in their own little world, with their own set of problems. Everyone is trying to get to where they're going. Some having a a good day, some having a bad day, some having a terrible day.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our little problems, we forget how many people there are around us who are dealing with so much more.

living the everyday

Hello Friends,

Lately I've had a lack of inspiration. And a lack of computer. Which equals a lack of posts lately. My computer, Priscilla, just "broke" one day. All the sudden. I took it into Apple, only to be told they don't work on G4s, they consider them "vintage" (which amused me somehow). The guy working there did look at it though and told me he thought it was probably the motherboard and that it would probably be better to buy a new computer at that rate. I was sad. Very sad, and took my computer home, placed it at the back of my closet, and... the end. No money to fix it, nor to buy a new one. Well, yesterday my dad randomly said "lemme take a look at your laptop". He examined it. Didn't find anything. He asked for the cord. I assured him it wouldn't come on. It was completely dead. Well, he plugged it in, pushed the power button, and VOILA. What do you know? It came on. And I'm still wondering what in the world happened? So very strange. Albeit, I'm just extremely happy to have my precious "Priscilla" laptop back.

As for lack of inspiration, that's coming back too, I think. Sometimes you just have to make yourself shoot, even when you feel the most un-inspired of un-inspired. So the other day I pulled out my camera and snapped some of these totally random, everyday pieces of my life. I hope you enjoy them.

A comb and bobby pins that were laying on my bathroom counter. I found them interesting, just strewn around in their random order, so I took a photo.

I love the simplicity of this photo. And the monkey, who's name is Timothy. He's a nightlight monkey that a dear friend of mine gave to me this past Christmas. I think he's adorable.

Our two {of four} dogs, Muffie and Guissppi. Guissppi is the one running, Muffie is the one staring into space.

Random, quirky photo... it's kind of goofy, but I like it. I love the light pouring in... And my owl shirt. :)


In closing... what do you guys do when you feel thirsty for inspiration? When everything starts to look the same? Sometimes I try to take photos that I believe others will like, and then I have to stop myself and remember I need to firstly take photos that I like. It doesn't matter what others think. And when I do that, they almost always come out better anyway.


Thanks for looking <3

baby birds

a few weeks ago I realized planted in a wheelbarrow outside that there was a little nest. nestled in were multiple little baby birds. can you say utter cuteness? yes. they were really cute. whenever I'd take a picture of them they'd squeal and squeal. so presh. I think they thought my camera was their mommy.

a photo shoot with emily.

saturday before last I had a photo shoot with my friend emily. my inspiration for her was to make her as a bird. not as in, oh wow, she looks like a bird, but more like subtle bird influences in her over-all costume. and, I love how it came out.

I hope you guys have as much fun looking at these as we had taking them... <3

during the course of the photo shoot I the bright idea to go out on the street and wave at oncoming cars, and, not only would it be hilar, but I could get a one-of-a-kind picture. albeit it probably wasn't the safest idea ("did you hear what he just yelled out?" "uh, no, I don't think I want to" *ahem*) I think it turned out pretty cool {although I do wish the car was in closer range}.
