The snow came down for hours yesterday - silent, soft flakes. I'm tired of the snow, but it still works it's magic. You can't help but feel the world is enchanted for those few, quiet hours when everything's covered in a pillow of pristine powder.

a beautiful day in the neighborhood
This fall is the best fall. Today is the best day. I went on a meandering walk through my neighborhood this afternoon and discovered the loveliest views. It's 65 and sunny. Neighbors are raking leaves, listening to music, and taking walks. The roads are quiet and the squirrels are out in crowds stocking up for … Continue reading a beautiful day in the neighborhood
summer roadtrip
After our car broke down, my grandparents graciously offered to sell us one of their cars. The only problem was that it was in Florida. So, within a week, we booked our one way flight to Tampa and prepared for a week of travel through the south. We spent a relaxing few days in Bradenton … Continue reading summer roadtrip

one word photo challenge: blue + purple
A little behind on the photo challenge, but that's ok. Once again, I failed to take images specific to the weekly colors, but I found a few photos that pass for blue and purple. My first instagram pic was taken after last week's snow; the robins were out in droves, flitting around, eating worms, and … Continue reading one word photo challenge: blue + purple
at the park
We went to one of our favorite local parks yesterday to enjoy the temperate weather. I'd really hoped to see a few things in bloom, some color reaching out and up from the brown landscape. But, since the spring blooms failed me, I decided to focus my lens on the muted tangles and vines in … Continue reading at the park
