Winter Wonderland

Here are some pictures from my drive to Montana! Remember that I hadn’t seen snow in almost two years prior to this! Ha – [Disclaimer: To take these pictures, I had set the camera on the dashboard and clicked the shutter remotely - less work than changing the CD in the CD player! Since I [...]

The University of Richmond

This past weekend, while I was at the University of Richmond, my sister gave me a tour of the campus. And gosh, it was beautiful! (The campus, not the weather…) This is Robbie. She was super thrilled to pose in my pictures for me. Can’t you tell by her face? I don’t actually remember the [...]

Yves St. Laurent and the Knock-Offs

Over Christmas vacation, my cousin and I drove to Charlotte to visit the Mint Museum.  By sheer coincidence, the primary exhibit at the time was an haute couture exhibit, entitled The Art of Affluence: Haute Couture and Luxury Fashions. While the entire exhibit was fascinating (as was the footwear exhibit downstairs), for me, the most [...]

Gilda

My uncle that I stayed with in North Carolina has two cats, and they provided endless entertainment to me over the two weeks I was there. They also did some modeling. This is Gilda (after Gilda Radner). Gilda sits motionless quite often, which makes her easy to photograph and play with the focusing. Or when [...]

This is Ellen…ain’t she purty?! She’s taken, though…sorry, boys. Elmo’s Diner is in this funky little mall, that is mostly artsy shops and [...]

Cold

This was the on windshield on Christmas morning. ` It was so cold! My blood is already Florida-thin.  It’s funny, when I moved to Florida, there was a cold spell happening, and the weather was, oh, about seventy-five degree or so, with no humidity.  At the time, coming from forty degree Washington, I thought it [...]

Airplane Shots

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I spent the day in a small university town in North Carolina visiting my grandmother, uncle, cousins, and family friends.  (I’m still here, actually).  I arrived on the twenty-third, after the most relaxing day of flying I have ever had! I woke up at four thirty a.m. to [...]

Oh Loves How I Have Missed You!

So today in the midst of my crazy hectic day (which included, among other things, an unsuccessful trip to the Florida Department of Licensing office…that’s what happens when you accidentally throw away your birth certificate…sigh), two huge boxes arrive from Olympia! My SHOOOOOOOES!! Not only were the boxes packed with the rest of my clothes, [...]
