At my dad's

Back at the beginning of the summer when I went and spent a day at my dad's I took a roll of film worth of pictures. I'm kind of in love with these and the way my step-mom has decorated her yard and my dad's dog. 

Looking Down

I just picked up three rolls of film. None of which were the one that I have wanted to see developed since I shot it in February (I later realized it had been hiding so I never dropped it off). There was a common theme in the three rolls though of me taking pictures of my shoes and legs and quite a few coffee and food pictures too.  If you want to see more of the film go to my flickr, I'll be posting more of it in the next few days. 

The First

Lately I've been seeing acorns, or at least what look to me like acorns (I'm fairly sure that's what they are but seeing as I don't have much experience I can't be entirely sure). I've never actually seen a real acorn, just drawings and pictures of them. I have to admit that to me they're a bit fairytale-ish, something magical exists in them. So today when I was walking to the bus stop on my way home from work I picked one up. The first acorn I've ever held. I still feel like it's quite a magical little thing. Also I have M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" stuck in my head... that's entirely unrelated, I know, it's just so catchy... 

Forgotten

I forgot that I had pictures from the beginning of the month sitting in my digital camera until I went and took some pictures today. 

These are from the day after 4th of July (July 5th?), I woke up before everyone else and took this little guy for a walk along the Lewis River (I was staying at my dad's up in Washington).

He looks like a puppy but he's nearly two! He just got all his hair cut off for the summer.

I also found this on there, at the beginning of the month I ate cinnamon pancakes every day for about a week, one day I even put strawberries in them, they were delicious.

Feathers and Moonlight

I wish my mind would quiet down.

Differences

I can't believe how little this summer feels like summer. Last summer was just too good to me. I'm going to drop off some more film to get developed tomorrow I think, that is if I get to it... I feel like I have a never-ending amount of things to do right now and too many things pulling on my mind at once. So, I will leave you with this picture that someone (I really can't remember who) showed me recently. If you ever had anything to do with Babar you will (hopefully, if not I might feel a bit crazy) agree with me that it is awesome.

Sent to my brother

As I briefly mentioned a while ago, my brother and I send pictures back and forth to each other, trying to outdo each other. Well, to be honest, I send more than he does. But I thought that I would share some of the more interesting things I've seen and shared with him lately.

Yeah, this actually happened in the store... I couldn't believe it.

When my brother was living with my dad and I was in Portland last year my mom made a ham that she and my step-dad had gotten as a gift... they ate ham everything for just about a month... (so I actually sent this to her, but I still love the pic)

It's hard to tell but the crane is actually moving port-a-potties... oh yeah.

A strawberry shaped like a tooth!

I was bored in class this morning... I realized later I should have written 'oh deer' instead.

Yes, I sent my brother a picture of my foot. Because my chaco tan is beginning to show and it's gonna be AWESOME by the end of the summer.
