silent solitude

Having a nice quiet few days without Noah around. Stayed in Morro Bay the other night to watch the royal wedding (however, we promptly fell asleep 30 minutes before it started), had lunch with my friend and ate the best cheesecake ever, and took a three hour nap. And that was all in the first day. Who knows what will be next.

I do

Royal wedding today and Noah's off to Vegas for bachelor party time for his friend. It must be that time of year. Watch out for those bridezillas.

I'm gonna get you

Loki made it near the bottom of the stairs the other day watching birds. As soon as I made a noise, though, he scurried back into the apartment.

Is it Friday yet?

I am ready for a day of relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. *sigh* Only two more days and it'll be here...along with the 67 loads of laundry that stare at me every time I walk into my room.

spooooOOoooOOOky

I went for a long walk at the Elfin Forest in Los Osos the other day. You've seen some of the shots I took over the past few days. This is another. I thought about saving it for creepy Halloween week, but that's oh so far away. Enjoy!

Green with envy

So many people out there enjoying their spring breaks...wish I had a spring break. Oh well, less than two months until Live Oak!

Happy Easter!

Hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday!

Gonna be exhausted

Well, today was supposed to be my day off. However, it looks like I'm going in for 8 hours of overtime. Can't really complain when I'm making time and a half, but staying at home doing nothing does sound pretty nice.

lonely island

Got some sad news yesterday. This photo seems to fit my mood somehow.

Just two more days!

And it's the weekend. And even though I'm not religious anymore, I love Easter. It's like the whole town shuts down for one day. It's quiet everywhere, the weather's nice, and it's almost as if the world belongs to me. And, unlike Christmas and Thanksgiving, there's no driving to 5 different places...just relaxing (and finally getting to eat some chocolate again!).

peek-a-boo

I know, I've had plenty of posts with that same title, but it's just so apt.

Awwww

Seriously, I'm taking pictures of gnomes...I think I need a vacation! If the gnomes get to travel, why don't I?

wine not?

Life flies by when you're enjoying a delicious glass of wine. This is the wine bar across the street from my apartment. Thought it'd be fun to play with some longer exposures. Hope you enjoy!

Watch out!

Full moon'll bring out the crazies! Finally played with my shutter release remote last night. Here's the best shot. Hope you like it!

"Oh my god!!! What is that?!"

"Eh, it's just that girl taking our pictures...again."

ONE YEAR!!!!!

A year ago today, I posted my first blog. And other than a few days there where I was in computer transition, I've posted every day. According to my account on blogger, this is my 361 post. Well, it leaves me a challenge for the next 365 days! Hope you've enjoyed the past year of pictures!

going out is highly overrated

Due to the fact that I'd only had 3 hours of sleep (more because of insomnia than having to get up early...although 5am is an ungodly hour of the morning), I opted for staying in and taking pictures yesterday. The thought of trying to find somewhere new to go and actually going there after a long loooooooong day of work was more than I could take. So, enjoy my desk chair! Perhaps I'll have more energy today after work and might get myself out and about with my camera.

yep, it's time

I really need to go out and take some new pictures. Between rain, allergies and just being lazy, it's been awhile. Well, I get off work at 2:30pm today, can't think of anything better to do.

it's going around

One of my friends told me about this website Stumble Upon where you put in your interests and hit the "stumble" button, and it will take you to a random website on the internet. This was one of those sites. It even gives you instructions on how to do your own 360 degree reverse photography. I think that I might just have to get the photo editing software to do this. It looks pretty amazing. Hope you enjoy the link! Clicky Clicky for more awesome pictures!

Nuts, it's Monday!

Weekends off go by way too quickly!

green days

I do love how everything is all green this time of year.

Poke!

What is it about sharp pointed things that just make you want to touch them? It's the same logic that makes you touch the plate right after the waitress says, "Careful, the plate is very hot." Guess I just like to live life on the edge.

Atchoo!

Anyone else's allergies making them sneeze?

leaving on a jet plane

Or at least I wish I was. I need a vacation!!!! Life is getting me down lately and I wish I could be on a sunny beach with no responsibilities. *sigh*

tree's company

hippity hoppity

In less than three weeks, I can enjoy these again!!!! Over half way there!

peek-a-boo

I see you, you little pine cone!

Spring has sprung!

got game?

It's a beautiful day...go outside and play!

Look Out!!!

It's April Fool's Day...watch out for all those fools out there just waiting to fool you.
