happy new year!
January 2, 2012
excited to start the new year — although the older i get, the less it feels like i need a fresh start each new year. i think that’s a good thing, and i’m trying really hard not to feel like it’s an old thing. signed up for a photography class (i’m long overdue on learning what aperture is…) and feeling a year’s worth of rad about that.
undone

a little peek at the house redo. project remove-a-fireplace, including having the full room’s walls, ceiling, and floors redone (not by us, obvy). this will not only make our front room usable as a combo dining/family room, but it will also allow the boys to have their own bedrooms.
these photos are a few weeks old, and we’re much farther a long now than shown here. it’s been so fun to watch the undoing of our home. i love seeing what’s underneath. like that ugly brown wallpaper, for instance. maybe it was pretty in 1920-something.
gonna love the redoing even more.

still working out that “focus thing” with the new camera. but loved this anyway.
rotting
March 6, 2011

i’m not sure which i like better — camellias in the trees or camellias rotting gorgeously on the ground. i can’t stop taking photos of camellias any which way. but the rot is totally blowing my mind.
i didn’t change out of my pajamas all day. well, except to take a shower and put on fresh pajamas. so good.
don’t miss the *new* this joy+ride, issue #54, featuring lovely landscape paintings + words from emily gaines demsky of shining egg and habit!
