expanding our minds at crooked tree

worn and beautiful

"come to me for rest and refreshment. the journey has been too much for you and you are weary. do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. instead, see it as an opportunity for me to take charge of your life..."

the trials joys of winter

january

sanctuary

there is a reason i love old windows

a calm day

theology library shining in the sun

the sky like a painting

just drive

crooked tree

...walking up to the tree

i was attempting to work on a paper about the nazi seizure of art, but was distracted by the fact that it's the day before election day...

what a cozy place.

red mug

i spend a lot of time at the same place (crooked tree coffee house), so a lot of my pictures have been there lately. that's ok with me because i really love it there.

windows

writing a paper and enjoying the fall day as reflected in my computer. thank god for peaceful days.

goats are a boy's best friend

three views of the texas star

state fair animals

elsie the borden cow... prettiest cow ever

i dub thee caterpillar goat

precious piglets. they were moving too fast to get a clear picture. but look how pink they are! 

door decorations

i thought to do military pin ups, but there weren't enough appropriate ones. so, instead, vintage posters from ww1 and ww2. the ribbons, of course, are my favorite part - took forever to tie with two together, but i love the way it turned out. 

dallas zoo

tie-dye party

i had a tie-dye party for my residents, and it turned out to be a rousing success. they put their dyed shirts in baggies, 

then i put them in them in the machine, dried them, and folded them.

they turned out to be so great! check out these bright colors!!!

i made the one above.

painted window

an old window, painted and hung as art at crooked tree. sweet! this is such a good idea. the trick is that the paint is on the inside, so the dark pink and black had to be painted first...interesting. very pretty with the green walls. 

water towers

ferris.

palmer.

ennis.

fairfield. 

a common sight in texas. 

cruising

luckily our campus is a hill, so when i'm coming back from class...weeeeee!

calm after the storm

hurricane ike passed, leaving us with a beautiful early fall day on monday. our campus is best on days like these. 

makes a monday worthwhile.
