This Autumn..

   Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest here. I stink. Not as in the "I haven't taken a shower today" sense, but in the sense of "I haven't posted anything here since the beginning of September and really that is just way too long." So, I'm going to have to say, I'm sorry. I've been saying sorry a lot lately, at least that's what I feel like. But enough remorse and diddle daddle. (Which coincidentally, diddle is a word, but daddle isn't? Excuse me, spellcheck. It's in my dictionary.)

   Anywho. To the pictures. Maybe the reason I haven't posted on here is because I haven't taken the Rebel out very often. Which is a big no-no. I'll have to add "apologize to my camera and look like a crazy person" to my to-do list. Do you ever add things to lists just to cross them off? I do. All the time. Makes me feel accomplished. At least in a small mental way.

   Oh, exciting news! I've started a typography class. It's just really small and probably won't amount to much, but have I ever told you how much I just love typography? Maybe it's because it ends in -ography just like photography. But then again, I'm not into oceanography and that also ends in -ography. My eyes feel like they are at a delicious buffet of words when I look at a picture of words. Maybe I love it because I think typography is beautiful to look at, just like a wonderfully captured photograph.

   I thought today I would share with you (besides nonsensical ramblings) yet another flower picture. I was intrigued with this flower, it looks so different than other flowers I've seen. I also absolutely adore the color. What do you think?

ampersand

i don't know if anyone else is weird like me, but if you have a favorite word (or words), congratulations, you are! what you win i don't know. 

today's word in my head is ampersand. I love this word. if i could reasonably use it in a sentence i would use it quite frequently. i even love it's symbol "&". This spring I learned how to draw them (I was quite proud of myself, don't make fun of me and my dysfunctional hands that couldn't figure out how to draw them before), when i addressed my friends' wedding invitations. since then i've enjoyed being pretty fancy in addressing envelopes. just ask my friend sarah, if you know her. 

what's your favorite word, or words? 

day 63: a palindrome

I love palindromes. The other week someone asked me what one was and I looked at them like they were crazy! How can you not know what a palindrome is? I've known since I was like eight. I learned how to spell it quite recently, however. It's a tough one. Words and spelling. Two of my favorite things. Did I tell you I knew how to spell encyclopedia when I was eight, too? Yeah. Pretty awesome, I know (just kidding. I know this kid who's like three and he knows how to read! That's genius). So today's post is a palindrome. I checked the blog stats tonight and it just so happened to make one. So, what a great idea for a post!

In Retrospect...

I think a lot. Sometimes (I think), I think too much. Whether it's about what to do tomorrow, what I should have done yesterday, or what I might have done in the past, it's there in this girl's brain. If you can think it, it's probably swimming around in my brain. Most of what I think of comes in snapshots, either of the past or some future picture that I want to capture with the Rebel. So today, here are some retrospects:

i always think about taking pictures of trees from the bottom..they all seem to tell a different story

i took this one in the French countryside

there's something about footprints that reminds me of leaving the past..
