Oh-Debt

My dad is taking care of a house down the street. The couple who live there have some really fascinating little plants. Most of them are actually kind of weird, and the lighting wasn't very great so I didn't photograph anything too outlandish. My favorite plant she has is the cactus I photographed. It doesn't look that special, but my dad doesn't even know its name, so it's obviously a little bit off the beaten path. Anyway, enjoy these shots, courtesy of the Odette family.

Refresh

It rained really hard yesterday, and things are looking wonderful today. Hopefully there is more rain to come (though not over Lake Roosevelt).

New Material

I'm taking care of the Farr's home right now while they're on vacation. I went over to take care of the plants and maybe test out their new pool. I couldn't resist the opportunity to take some photos in a new environment. I think the tree house is my favorite. Also, I don't generally have my camera in the car, and I had been envisioning some self portraits while driving... which may or may not be a serious faux pas while driving, but I was focused on the road while I snapped photos, so I figure its kosher.

Momentous

A few things to note:

• The semester ends in less than seven (7) weeks. That makes me so happy.
• This is my 183rd blog post. That means that I have officially blogged 50% of one year. Every single day. Be proud.
• I can't think of anything else, but since odd numbers are more aesthetically pleasing I needed a third bullet point. :)

And yes, these photos have nothing to do with the list preceeding them.

Dash

This morning, the weather was lovely. As evidenced by these pictures. I was so excited to go for a run when I got home. Yeah, it's raining now. No running. Hopes dashed. I do love that poppy though...

Water Drops

On my way to school it was raining. I loved it. As I sat at a red light, looking out my window, I couldn't help but think of that friends where Joey and Chandler are mad at each other (or something like that). Chandler gazes out of his window as the rain hits the glass, and it appears that Joey is doing the same. Only, as the camera zooms out, he's just sitting behind a piece of glass that is part of a little fountain in his apartment. I started laughing. I did not laugh when all of the rain went away, but at least everything is beautiful and clear now. I do love the world after a good rain.

Dampening

Today I wished I lived in Washington. I loved the rain and clouds. To have that perpetually sounds really amazing. I could have done without the wind, but if that is a side effect, so be it. Sadly it is no longer raining, but I'll cherish the puddles and dampness for as long as I can.

Wash Up

The rain came in and made everything lovely. I'm all cleaned up, the earth is all cleaned up, the river on the west side is all cleaned up... I love the rain.

Droplets

The rain was so dang cool today. I used an umbrella!

And We're Back

Today was not one of those weird introspection days, and I'm over my doom and gloom. Though the weather, apparently, is not (which is fine by me!).

Drizzle

Rain makes everything better. Always. Except maybe traffic...

Rinse Cycle

The world after rain is so excellent. The air is fresh and clean, everything refreshed with water. Excellence. And, there is snow all over the mountains. Even the front mountains! Such a great week for weather.

Slip and Slide

Yesterday's weather was bizarre, but today's was downright pleasant! Never above 60 degrees, lots of gray clouds, and wet ground. I love it. I wore my big coat and my new scarf. It was a good day.
