This is how I feel today.


But I have pictures of pancakes to look at and homework to do.


Oh, and people are setting off fireworks... already?

Time

I've been playing around and falling in love with black and white photos lately. A good thing since I'm taking a black and white photography class later this summer. I really can't wait for it. I don't have a whole lot to say right now, just a lot of thinking and school and work going on.

Summer

I'm so glad that the weather has finally figured out that it's summer. It seems like it took ages. I'm also glad that I'm thinking I'll enjoy my classes this summer which will help with the whole not having a break thing. I'm trying to find a way to go camping or up into the woods to go hiking this summer because it's hard enough spending a summer without pine trees.

Film

Some photos from the first couple of months of the year. I finally got them scanned today. Not only is it a bit gloomy for the first day of summer but it was also my first day of summer classes.  More film photos on my flickr. 

Saturday

 

I went down to the Farmer's Market and got some of the last rhubarb of the season along with some of the first strawberries of the season so I could make a strawberry rhubarb pie. It turned out so delicious! And my crust was perfect! I'm so excited about it! I had a little leftover crust so I decided to make a mini peach pie. I just threw it together without a recipe which is something I don't usually do but it turned out wonderfully too. 

Some Things

Yesterday I had a conversation that made me realize a lot of things about myself that I usually try to ignore. It was a really good thing and I'm grateful that I had it, even if it wasn't the happiest. Sometimes you just need someone else to say the right things before you really see the whole thing.


The weather here is awful; it's freezing and wet out. Well, it isn't wet here in Portland, but it was quite rainy the entire drive from Bend back to Portland. Last weekend though we got some really nice, warm weather and I went up to my dad's for the day, that's where these pictures are from. I'm going to pick up a couple of rolls of film tomorrow. I don't know what's on them, I have a pretty big pile of film to get developed so it could be anything. I am pretty sure that one of them might have some pictures from my trip to the coast a while ago (as in February-ish), but I might be wrong. It's an exciting surprise.

Bones

I love when you can see the bones under your skin. I love knowing that I know what each of them is. 

It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been really busy with the end of the term and work, but now the term is over and I'm enjoying my little break before summer classes start up again. Hopefully I'll be around a bit more after this.
