Motion City Soundtrack Concert (!)

This is Justin Pierre and he is my hero. Seriously. He got over his addiction and is going strong, and I want to be just like him.
This is the only okay shot I got of all of the boys. From Left: Josh Cain (guitar), Jesse Johnson (MOOG), youcanbarelyseehim Tony Thaxton (drums), Justin Pierre (lead vocals/guitar) and Matt Taylor (bass).

Lake Wenatchee


This was taken down at our beach. There was this giant log there, and at the end of it there was this giant mass of tangled, dried up tree roots- which it what you're seeing. It was actually really cool.

Here is a crooked tree down at the beach at sunset. sorry for lens flare. I just couldn't get the tree in the picture without it.

Look what I found, Steve. I just knew dumpsters existed in state parks.

Macro Challenge


Well, here you have it. The first known entry to this week's challenge. Interesting story behind this photo. My mom went to Target this afternoon, and found a bag of sparkly pom-poms that she thought Flipper would like as toys. There were 60 in the bag(more than enough for my cat). So I took a few and put them in a glass of water. I then made a very crude setup using a clamp-on light, a windowsill to clamp it on, two sheets of paper, and my pom-pom/water combo. Hope you like it.

Brand New Kid


look at the baby! I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. But it was born today.



Look at how small it is! That big goat with it's mouth open is its mommy- Haha, her name is Mama Goat. The photogenic one :)

This is my bud Sherman. He's my favorite goat out of all of them. He got upset with me for paying attention to the baby, so he ran out to the bushes and ate. He's my favorite because he looks at me like he loves me, and because when I squat down to be at eye level with the goats, he puts his head on my shoulder and breathes in my ear. It's sweet :)

Glowing Glasses

Creative title, I know. But they are what they are- glowing glasses! My cousin ran to the dollar store across the street when we were in Grand Coulee, and bought these. I think they're fantastic. :) (this is just for fun) (I realize I look slightly cross-eyed in my picture)

Fire!


every year, there is at least one idiot who decides that it's a good idea to set off fireworks during the driest month of the year. In the driest part of the state. In the foothills near the dam- which happens to provide energy to a large portion of our area.

This year it ended in a fire up in the hills. It was very exciting. It took about 15 minutes for firefighters to get up to the spot, and about 30 minutes for them to put it out/stop all the flareups. Pretty cool? No.

Challenge Picture


Eh. I didn't really take any that I was like, "Whoa, that needs to be entered in this challenge IMMEDIATELY." But I like this one- it was part of the grand finale, which was epic and LOUD. After this, we walked around Grand Coulee, waiting for traffic to die down. Now i'm back home in Renton, and guess what! It's raining. I'll post more fireworks pictures and pictures of the fire that happened in the foothills later tonight.

4th of July

Good morning, everyone! The morning after Independence Day leaves me quite groggy. Eh. But here's a picture to entice you, until I pick/edit/post the one for the contest. Which will be much later tonight- I'm leaving here at 11 am, getting home by 2, then a birthday party from 3-5. So, check back this evening.


A heart! :]

Sweet Annabel Rose


Here's the puppy, Annabel/Annie. This was before I washed her face. :)


The big dog is Sophie, and the baby is Annie. They look exactly alike, although they won't when she gets older... Annie is a pembroke corgi mix.
