get it before its gone

the other day i was out running errands and remembered passing a graffiti wall i wanted to get some pictures of. i parked and got out of my car excited to really check out the detail close up, only to find it had been painted over by ugly brown paint. whhhhhhhy?!

 in the last few weeks i have taken several pictures of things that are now gone. i didn't know they would be gone, but they are. enough things that i even questioned if my taking pictures and posting about these things some how caused attention to make them go away. but i know that was a really ridiculous thought.

xmas lights up in feb. taken down days after i took and posted

your downtown. sign gone.

grass cut. next day. 

no dog or bowl, the very next day! 

little letter love

in my free time - when i should be job hunting or blogging or otherwise moderately productive.... i am out walking, taking pictures, and obsessively editing and cropping. at least the walking is good.

lowercase letters. loves!

only one....

in memory....

just heard of elizabeth taylor's passing. i am not even sure if i ever saw one of her movies but i've always liked her just the same. she reminded me of a real life erica kane. she seemed as "hollywood and glamourous" as they came. and her efforts in the fight against aids was very admirable. i think this quote from her is just perfect, and a good reminder of what i should be doing ;)


"I feel very adventurous. there are so many doors to be opened, and i'm not afraid to look behind them". - elizabeth taylor

Elizabeth Taylor, 1932-2011

WORD!

1. i have internet again!! which now means i am liable for posting on a nearly daily basis again.... (and even better i can stalk my favorite blogs and catch up what's been going on!)

2. for amazing friends who remember when you say you want something and get it for you for your birthday months later! so so so excited to fill this in.  

 and really, it was meant to be. this is the cover page. brilliant.

ack! oh my!

a whole month has gone by?

i haven't had internet, although, i am researching different apps i can blog from my phone. really just to keep my goals to myself, not because i think my 4 followers are grieving.....but then again i won't likely ever have more than 4 if i don;t have internet connection and posts. those 2 things are kind of crucial for blogging. i think.....

however, the lack of internet, and therefor connection to the world (i also do not have tv, which i kind of like surprisingly), along with a 2 month couch tour before a major downsize in living space, has really been a learning experience for me. i "need" a lot less than i used to think. not that i don't still want certain things! but i really do miss browsing my blogs - so much has happened in the past month for me to catch up on!

speaking of - i signed up for bloglovin (?) and we will see how i like it. but in the meantime, check it out if you  haven't and want! in short, its like facebook for blogs. i think. but an easier (tbd....) way to track what you wanna read of other blogs :)

Follow my blog with bloglovin

and a few random pictures from my month of silence while i toured my new town!

simplicity

waiting....

bucket list! amazing fresh pesto penne with poppyseed and carmelized onion glazed salmon. yum.

old town delights.

life is art. or. art is life.

my downtown? or yours?

love

luck

beauty in the little things
