You still have time.

"I found a green cricket today. It's already turning to fall."
"I don't know why that depresses me."
"Fall is amazing..."
"I know. Fall is my favorite. I guess I just don't wanna look ahead right now."
"I know what you mean."

Things could be different.

All I needed from you was an apology.

It seems like such a small thing to ask for.

Summer.

I used to watch this all the time when I was tiny... and the song in this cartoon popped into my head the other day and I went and found it.



Gosh, being a kid was fun.

Mother's Day.

For the last 5 years, Amanda and I have gone on adventures on Mother's Day. For us, it's a celebration of the nice weather and of our friendship, and for me it's a nice way to remember my mom. This year we both had to work, but we managed to get together in the evening and had a lovely night catching up, eating pie, and taking photos. Here are some of my favorites.




We ran into hoops and his new pooch outside taking a walk! What a darling.











I'm so grateful to have this tradition with one of my loveliest and best friends. I can't wait until next year!

Maybe I'm just not looking,

but oh my God does life in New York look like life on Mars from here.
These photos by Todd Fisher turn me on. (And you thought I was all about gloves and flower petals, didn't you?) It's all the joys of Nan Goldin without the bad hair, and I can't get enough.
Lets see if I can use these as inspiration for my own photographs in the coming month.

Ultimate Inspiration week.

Too many pretty pictures to wrap my head around. ♥

I could go on forever but I'd better stop there.
I feel change in the air, and inspiration is coming at me everywhere I look. I guess that's what Spring is for! Keep an eye out... I may be heading in a new direction.
Happy Friday!
