Occasionally throughout the morning, one of the eagles would randomly just start doing some silly acrobatics in the air. It was quite entertaining.
(Not a wonderful design, but fun, and my first photoshop foray in a while. Made for that
Facebook tag game.)

As tagged by memmu, I'm playing too. In no particular order, 16 random things about me:
1. My middle name, Marie, is also my sister's middle name (Theresa Marie), my mother's first name (Marie Ann), and my grandmother's first name (Marie Jessica).
2. Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I never seem to have as much time to celebrate it as I would like. A lot of years it's been because of school and work taking up too much of my time, but I'm hoping after I graduate, that I'll be able to take full advantage of the season and do all the baking, decorating and crafting that I want.
3. I am an absolute tea fiend, and really a day seldom goes by when I don't have a cup or two. My favorite is Earl Grey, with plenty of milk and sugar. My electric hot water kettle is worth its weight in gold to me, let's just say. :)
4. I'm 5'4", and while I wish I was taller, I've accepted the fact that I'll be petite forever.
5. I once moved nearly 3000 miles to be with the man I loved. Before I moved from Virginia to California, the_dean and I had spent maybe a month's time total in each other's physical presence. The rest of our relationship had been lived through emails, phone calls, and care packages. It's been nearly 3 years, and it was the best decision I made in my life.
6. My all-time favorite color is blue. I've never met a shade that I didn't like.
7. I much much prefer a chilly grey rainy day over a bright sunny warm one. I lovelovelove the rain, especially in the fall, and especially when I can curl up somewhere warm with a cup of tea and a good book and watch the rain out the window.
8. My favorite number is 8. :)
9. I'm a bit of a claustrophobe, and I don't like being in small enclosed spaces. I can deal with being in vehicles, like cars and planes, as long as I can be near a window and I know where the exits are. Being somewhere where there are no windows makes me very uncomfortable.
10. I have a good-sized tattoo on my right arm (about 8-9" by 5-6" - it's tricky to measure) of a magpie and oak leaves that symbolizes myself and the_dean (Oak is his nickname), as well as my love of fall, water, air, and color. It's my first, and I already have my second one in planning.
11. I have *never* been a morning person. Getting up "early" on the weekends means waking up at the earliest 9:30.
12. I believe clothes should be flattering and comfortable. I adore jeans and wear them any chance I get. I like to dress up, but I much prefer to be comfortable and casual.
13. I grew up in a largish family (two parents, two brothers, one sister) and we are all noisy, loud, talk a lot, and each one of us is pretty unique, but we love each other, all get along, and our family has strong relationships. My parents have been married for nearly 38 years, and have the strongest most loving relationship I've ever seen, and I've never seen them fight. (My mom's parents were married for nearly 60 years before my grandfather passed away, and same thing, very loving and close). This is why I never really understood the concept of divorce when I was younger, and it was only when I was a young adult that I started to get it.
14. I absolutely adore the snow and can not wait until I can move out of California so I can live somewhere it snows in the winter. A lot. Lots of rain and green is also highly desired.
15. I have always loved languages, and I've known from a young age that I wanted to teach. I'm finally pursuing that dream, and it just feels so right.
16. One last random thing: I was born in a country that technically no longer exists. Who can guess it? :)
The random dance is a perennial favorite at MX. Kids are randomly paired with another student, and after an ice cream social and some board games, they dress "randomly" for the dance itself.
Sadly I have been quite busy recently and didn't have much time to play with my camera but at least I got myself another new manual M42 lens (200mm, f/3.5) and it's the first picture from it :) Quite accidental of course, my finger slipped and it resulted in this out of focus, overexposed pic. Normally I would just delete accidents like that but since it's my first picture using my new lens I decided to keep it :)
