"It had always seemed to Emily, ever since she could remember, that she was very, very near to a world of wonderful beauty. Between it and herself hung only a thin curtain; she could never draw the curtain aside--but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond--only a glimpse--and heard a note of unearthly music. This moment came rarely--went swiftly, leaving her breathless with the inexpressible delight of it . . ." ~ Emily of New Moon, L.M. Montgomery.

I finally got my holga film developed. The pictures make me happy. Thank you best friends for my beautiful Hogla 120N for my birth(day) last year. I love my plastic camera :)

More treasures to come.

the polaroid project

Just a little project I am working on and I thought I'd give you a sneak peak. I got a nice start on it while I was at home, which was awesome!

Look at how rad my little sister is! Jealous.

Also I'm sure you wanted to know that the marion blackberry frozed custard was delish!

I love Good times. I am craving it right now.

Shake it!

flowers at grandmas house

All flowers found at my grandma's house. lovely!

The first three were found inside. The rest are in the backyard, which is basically all a flower garden with a little brick pathway to walk through. It is fantastically beautiful. They were taken after a nice torrent of rain! If you look hard enough you can see the rain drops on the petals, or just click here. Got to love Colorado weather!

{notice the orchids? [pic #3] yeah my grandpa grows them year-round and as we all know, orchid growing is hard. he is a master!}

freckles et la pluie

yet again, another list and some pics to brighten the blogging world!

les canards dans le risseau

3 0'clock every day
I walk around campus, lay in the sun, visit the animals, enjoy nature, etc.
It's the only real time I have to myself.
It is pure bliss!

Today was no different. I ate my apple next to the stream where the ducks live. I wrote a little ditty and watched the birds frolic about. The little baby ducks swam by so I snapped a few pics.

After that, I walked up the stairs on my way back to work. Vive l'escalier! I spotted a nice little centipede trying to find his way. He seemed lost.

Also, I can hardly wait for SYTYCD season 5 tomorrow!! Woo Hoo!
Obviously I lead a very exciting life.

It's earth day!!

How coincidental that I made sure to bring my camera today so after work I could take some pictures of those lovely blossoms and magnolias {the ones I blogged about yesterday} by the moa?!

Happy Earth day!

{Aren't they glorious?! They smelled delicious as well. I highly recommend taking a stroll over there}

{Also, Munir just directed me to this. I liked it. I have been out of the music loop for a while.}
