Wolfsborough New Hampshire signage. Apparently the Chamber of Commerce, with a complete lack of irony but plenty of boosterism, forged straight ahead with the sign project.
Phoebe finally sighed and sat down, convinced there were no threats in the vicinity. She was tired. She sits down in front of Conor's podium and props her head against it, yawning a little. Conor needed the protection, knowing her father could more than handle yucky bidders. "Yeah we'll see. Lots of interestin' things to learn 'bout people. Lots of people to choose from."
Guin's teasing fades when she gets a glimpse of Phoebe's sleepiness. With a quiet exhale she slowly closes the distance, and crouches in front of her, trying to catch her eyes. "You're going to make yourself sick if you try to stay out here all week," she says softly. "What if I promise to help keep an eye on... yucky bidders?"
Phoebe looked up at Guin with heavy lidded eyes, pulling up the heavy weight of her head from the podium. "Errr... what, like shifts? Take turns?" She looks like she's ready to drift off, but Guin's offer keeps her up just long enough to haggle. "We can do that. You take tonight, I take the day tomorrow? Can be here early."
Guin winces, inwardly. That wasn't -quite- what she'd been thinking.... "Close... my apartment is just over there." She nods her head toward the building behind Phoebe, in the direction of Madre's. "I can come down and check from time to time. And if a yucky bidder slips past us... well, maybe we can try to get one past them. That way, we can both sleep. Somewhere safe."
Even Auntie would be subject to a glower from Phoebe when she approached her two podiums. It was a shortlived thing however, and her attention turned back to Guin. "Hmm. That means I'mma have to get more revenue then. I spose that'll work. But more articles, an' more..." She left it at that. Guin didn't need to know all the girl's revenue sources. "Kay. That'll work."
Guin exhales in relief as the girl more or less agrees."Good," she murmurs, with a firm nod. "Good. And your dad will be pleased to know you're tucked in safe and not... sleeping on the streets, to protect his honor." Though she suspects he might find it an honorable thing. "And who knows... maybe someone non-yucky will bid. It's only a couple of hours, Phoebe. I promise you, it will be just fine." She'd reach out to tug lightly on Phoebe's hair, if allowed.
Phoebe pushed up to standing and stretched. "I'll go home. Come back tomorrow. With revenue." She winks conspiratorially towards Guin when her hair was tugged. It was evident Phoebe considered her part of the trusted, non-yucky crowd. "Night, Miss Winny." She grabbed her pack and set off for home.
The low morning light was beautiful on the grass and weeds lining this gravel road north of Idaho Falls. I am becoming more and more convinced that there is beauty all around us. Finding that beauty is not so much traveling to it but opening our eyes and seeing the beauty in the common and simple things around us.

"'Cause nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold november rain"
November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Bem antigas :)
All the earth grows fire,
White lips of desire
Brushing cool on the forehead, croon slumbrous things.
Earth fades; and the air is thrilled with ways,
Dewy paths full of comfort. And radiant bands,
The gracious presence of friendly hands,
Help the blind one, the glad one, who stumbles and strays,
Stretching wavering hands, up, up, through the praise
Of a myriad silver trumpets, through cries,
To all glory, to all gladness, to the infinite height,
To the gracious, the unmoving, the mother eyes,
And the laughter, and the lips, of light.
Rupert Brooke, "Sleeping Out: Full Moon" (l. 14-25).
Recently there was a terrible fire in my area. One person died and at least 50 people lost their homes and all their things. Much of the apartment building was just broken up. Sadly, it was the 7th fire, at that apartment complex, in just a few years time. In the end, more lives could have been lost. Things are just things. Our lives are so much more important than the things that we own.
Still traveling through Italy. Presently in the most beautiful city of Stresa, overlooking Lago Maggiore. I don't get too much time online but I promise to visit everyone when I return.
Ciao,

The shoes that appear in my "Things Work Out" series represent our perpetual journey and how all we experience becomes part of who we are. In these pieces, I depict shoes not only because they are part of what takes us on our personal journey, but also because our shoes reveal a little bit about our individuality and the postmarks suggest different locations or travel. I started my "Things Work Out" mantra years ago with my children, it's about being positive and trusting. On Tuesday mornings, while drinking my coffee I send my husband and children a text that says "Happy 2sday!" Included in that text is one of my photos or artworks that include a 2 or the word two. (T.W.O. = Things Work Out)
Chinese New Year! In my photographs so far there hasn't been much of an indication of the time of year. Down at the waterfront you couldn't miss it.
Unfortunately, it being the New Year meant that things were shut or otherwise different from normal. Typically the famous Clock Tower at the Kowloon waterfront is lit at night. Not this time...
Another thing you're missing: Right behind us was a small crowd watching the rehearsals for the New Year Parade. I imagine it looked a bit weird; one tourist looking the opposite way entirely.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

An old shot here.
Mostly updated for the purpose of fulfilling my tagged duties.
So 10 things you may not have known about me:
1) I think I am officially addicted to the $1 vanilla soft serve cones from McDonald's.
2) Whenever I discover a blog I really like, I usually read through or flip through the entire thing to see how the blogger's style has evolved. This gets pretty obsessive and time-consuming.
3) I am VERY near sighted - hoping that laser surgery will be cheaper and nearly perfected in the next 10 years or so. I currently own 3 pairs of glasses and still wear contacts...haha.
4) I think my current dream job is to be a photo editor of some kind of home/interior decorating magazine, because even more than I like taking pictures, I love discovering/looking through others' works and picking out what would look nice together. And of course still take pics on the side!
5) I have over a dozen moles/beauty marks on my face. I would love to get rid of some of them.
6) It makes me feel slightly superior to take longer subway rides than the people around me (totally irrational because they could be transferring but nonetheless...)
7) I have had sushi every Monday for the past month.
8) I think sushi would be a deal-breaker food for me, romantic-relationship wise :P (that and spicy food).
9) I could probably win an award for being bad at saving money.
10) I'm leaving for school for my FINAL year in exactly 2 weeks - AAH. One of my biggest concerns about the real world is not having health insurance once I turn 23 and am no longer in school or on my parents' insurance. Ridiculous right?! :P
Oh and if you have time, check out me, Bryan, and Justin's fun last night!
less than 24 hours after yesterday’s snowy snap, and one monster storm later, the driveway looks… a bit different
“As I see it, you are living with something that you keep hidden deep inside. Something heavy. I felt it from the first time I met you. You have a strong gaze, as if you have made up your mind about something. To tell you the truth, I myself carry such things around inside. Heavy things. That is how I can see it in you.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

I love lavender! This is from the huge bush that grows beside our path, it's one of the taller growing varieties and is just coming into bloom now.

Do you have Synaesthesia?
Dont worry...its not a disease. For people who have Synaesthesia, they see colors for different things, such as days of the week, or months of the year, for different people or certain names.
Ever since I was a little kid, I see specific colors for the days of the week and months of the year; for instance:
Sunday is redish orange
Monday is blue
Tuesday is orange
Wednesday is blueish green
Thursday is green
Friday is white
Saturday is red
If youd like to learn more about Synaesthesia, here is a link:
In a scene that would bare witness of things to come. The sky is filled with smoke from a wildfire burning on the Kenai Peninsula. It is 6.21.19 and things would grow worse from this day forward. With extremely high temperatures for South Central Alaska, mid to high 80s things haven't gotten any better. The 130N is in a small window of sunshine at Pittman, AK 50 miles into their 350 mile run.
