36/365

this is how i pretend my desk is clean..i just dump everything in pretty bowls.



Today i went downtown and to the U district with kara! I bought some new mittens and some sweeet pins for my coat. Also we got delicious donuts at pike place from that neat old donut machine.

--also we went in american apparel..that place reminds me of a costume store 0_0




PS. Today i saw the cutest fish in the nordstroms aquarium. It was swimming really fast through bubbles. It made me immeasurably happy. It was the best fish i've ever seen in my life. i was sad that i did not have my camera, i would have filmed the little fellow.

The last picture makes me think of what my favorite nerdfighter said on blogtv "If there isn't a heaven, well it sure is a good idea" --John Green

Today my cameras batteries are dead so im posting one of my favorite pictures from this summer. Every year i go visit my cousins at their cabin on Orcas island. I took the picture through the window of a ferry I took home (all by myself! scary!) Make sure to see it full size, the detail in the clouds is pretty superb, at least i think it is.

Day One 1/365




Today my friend showed me a blog she's started where she takes a picture every day. I thought that was a pretty spiff idea so i've decided to do it as well. For the 365 days i'll be looking through the eyes of my camera, hope you enjoy the ride.
