I'm not allowed to wear blues or greens to work anymore ( crycrycrycry)
so I had to search high and low for a "normal" glitter color ( testing boundaries, anyone? ) .
And. AND. AND. I met 3 members of the band! Yes, I know. I'm like the uber-nerd.
But it was lovely, and they were very kind.
So I wasn't really able to take any photos ( but look at these lovely ones someone else took! ), but I found this video recorded at last year's concert.
And funny story -- you can totally see me in the bottom left hand corner. Ha! How random is that?
I could keep the forest with me, even while working the summer days away.

This just screams "summer road trip," doesn't it?

I may or may not have a birthday coming up, and these may or may not be absolutely perfect little thank yous.

I always think of poppies when I think of summer. Mine are blooming right now (confused), but I remember my mom's would only open in the full August heat.
Hi! This is Heather from a measure of... writing an adventure post for Kelli today while she enjoys a happy anniversary with the hubbers.
We live a lot farther away from good hiking trails than I'd like to. But the Sunol-Ohlone regional wilderness is a pretty fun place with a wonderful visitor's center that is home to a few bat families. Though they are a bit too fast and crepuscular to photograph.
On our last trip I found this pretty bug and shot it (with my camera) for Kelli--though I didn't know it was for Kelli at the time.
Since we've been having so much rain--um, really, come on June in California, WTH?--everything is still pretty green (and pink).
Hi y'all! This is Tsuki from LittleGrayFox. I'm stopping by to do a super sneaky guest post for the lovely Miss Kelli! Since she usually posts a "Photo Friday", I decided to stay with her bloggy plans and post my own photo Friday for you guys. But first, I wanted to give you a quick tip for finding great photos!
I love to use Flickr! Their advanced search options are great and it is full of many talented folks! Plus, you always know whether or not those folks want you "snagging" their stuff! Here are some quick steps you can take to ensure that you won't be accused of stealing pics!
Step 1 - Go to www.flickr.com and click on their "search" button
Step 2 - choose "Advanced Search"
Step 3 - scroll down until you find the "creative commons" section and check the box to "only search Creative Commons content"
Step 4 - enter your keyword and hit search
Step 5 - once the search results pop up, click on "interesting" to find the top photos under that keyword
Step 6 - find the photo you want and be sure to give credit to the photog!
I hope that helped some of you out a bit :) Now on to the pics! These are all photos of things I think of when I think of summer! It's going to be a gorgeous weekend, here in Seattle -- FINALLY! So I'm in the mood for some heat!.....and.....
Hi! This is Krystal (I blog at Village) and I'm guest posting for our Kelli today! My mission? Random. Basically anything...do you know hard that is? But anyway, I finally settled on showing you these movie barcodes because they make me happy - a whole film is taken and the screen shots are cut into these tiny slivers and put together all barcode like...which is pretty neat - you can check out the Tumblr here. (I found it viathis site)
The movies above are West Side Story, Office Space and Aladdin...can you guess which is which??
{answer 1. office space 2. aladdin 3. west side story}
Hello all! This is The Captain speaking! You may know me as frequent commenter/stalker of this here blog, as well as the poster of all things that make me smile (and occasionally my own photos) at http://thecaptainsphotos.tumblr.com/ .
(follow meee! plzzz!!)
Today is June 1. Almost half the year is up. and summer is right around the corner. It's also Worldwide LAM Awareness Day. What is LAM? Well, to put it simply, it's a Lung Disease that affects (mostly) women in their childbearing years. It has no cure, and one of my favorite people in the entire world was diagnosed with it in 2007 (My beautiful and courageous Aunt Mary Kay).
So please, take some time to read up on it and share the information with someone you know. Knowledge is power!
In honor of Worldwide LAM Awareness Day, this crave and rave is all about feathers. The feather is the symbol of The LAM Foundation. So, give those suffering with LAM a Breath of Hope, and enjoy my very own crave + rave!
Here's a welcome addition to anyone's jewelry stash.
I've been buying bits and pieces of things for a soon-to-be bedroom redecoration frenzy. Two of these and I'll totally be in heaven.
I'm LOVING heathered apparel lately (or always) and this half Shakespeare's quill is enough for me to go loony over
Kelli certainly knows, as I took her on a wallet-hunt while I visited her recently...but I have a thing for wallets. A love affair, if you will. How cute is this one?? Perfect for my iphone too!
Totally digging this rustic frame against the clean color options for this poster.
I have the most adorable Goddaughter (Hi Hannah!) and I think she would be lovely in this for the 4th of July (before tearing it off her head, of course)
Finally, not to get all debbie downer on you, but a lot of LAM patients eventually end up needing a lung transplant. and while I hope it never gets to that point for my dear Aunt Mary Kay, it's a possibility. I can't give her new lungs, but i could give her this sweet (as sweet as lungs can be) necklace:
I hope you enjoyed our time together! don't forget to catch me on the tumblr!
And please, read...pass the knowledge on...and always have hope!
