landlocked oasis

white rock lake is beautiful, even on a cold, windy day.

to die for blue

some of the beautiful blues that filled the sky all day long in utah. it's a bit easier to carry around a 45lb. pack when you're surrounded by stunning skies. i would actually recommend clicking on these for a clearer view. not sure why blogger is giving these thumbnails low resolution.

details

squirrel and cat paw prints, respectively.

the wild

some of the flora in canyonlands national park, utah. almost everything is some shade of brown, and it takes a minute to really see that it is truly beautiful and actually very diverse. and, i think, calming in in monochromaticism and stunning in contrast to the blue, blue sky.

...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.

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.

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.
