2012 has been a wonderful year, and I have the pictures to prove it! Trips to Carmel, good times with friends and family, live music, a good garden bounty, wine country and beach trips, golf and putt putt, aquariums, beautiful sunsets, U.T. games, Disney, and Japan, Japan, Japan! Here’s to […]

So this is a hard one to figure out where to start. It’s really hard to lose someone who’s been a part of your life for 30+ years. Who was always there, always supportive, always quietly in the background. And it’s rather funny to describe my Nin as quietly in […]
The other day, I stumbled upon a this movie on Door Sixteen’s blog and man did it take me back to college. Freshman year, our foundation professor, Gretchen, showed this to us. I believe it was right before we had an assignment to photograph a sculpture we’d just built, to […]
Day of the Dead Altar, San Antonio I’ve visited San Antonio once, and I was lucky enough to be there around the time of year when Day of the Dead, or DÃa de los Muerto, is celebrated. So in addition to getting to see such wonders as the Blue Hole […]

Yesterday morning when I woke up, it felt like holiday-time. The air was cool, and I just wanted to snuggle back down under the covers, which I did for a while. Thinking about the holidays put a smile on my face, and I started thinking about my favorite ones. Thanksgiving, […]
I started this post 21 days ago – 8/31 at 7:16 AM… amazing how time is still flying, even though the wedding has come and gone. Occasionally there are moments in my life where everything else seems to fade, to quiet-down, and one subject sticks out, defined very clearly, and […]
