The Beach

Is a breath of fresh air.

More Photography

I usually keep my camera with me at all times, and sense my realization of how much I really love taking pictures, and my long time love for the environment, I have decided to try and capture as much of the environmental bliss that I can find.

This weeks blissful imagery comes with a beautiful blanket of snow :)
[We won't be using our patio furniture anytime soon!]

[Our shrubbery has been dwarfed by the snow.]



[The snowy series of trees that lines our driveway.]

[My favorite tree in our yard in the spring time, but I'm really loving it in the winter too]

Enjoy your snow from a nice warm seat in your house :)

Artsy Fartsy

Something that I have been noticing about myself, is that I really love being able to capture images of all kinds of things. Whether it's something beautiful found in nature, or just the vibrant colors of food. I really love photography. Although I'm not sure the simple point and shoot of the camera that I use is considered photography... I do enjoy capturing whatever it is that is flirting with my imagination, and asking me to frame it.

At any rate! (little joke for Mr. Jay & Mom) here are some images that mother nature provided me with:

These little spiky seed ball things (above) fell off of this naked winterized tree (below) I find them simply lovely and intriguing.


And this is the thick sheet of ice on the surface of the Charles River in Boston, MA. You can see the order in which the ice froze, and how the water was flowing by the swirls, and curves in the ice. Very cool! (Freezing cold, cool...lol)



There ya go... a few of natures gifts :)

Green & Gorgeous

I was watching the Today show this morning and was very impressed! They had a clothing segment on buying for a cause. The first cause (and one the most important to me) was the environment! I think that it is so great that more and more people are becoming aware of these things! Check out being green and gorgeous!

On another note...my weekend with kels was great! We didn't end up having a spa day, decided to save the $ and relax at home! But we went to NYC and visited the Met, and had delicious food and wandered about town! So far it has been a good trip..and she is going to stay until thursday! hooray!

Okay so as some of you may already know...we are getting a dog! An Austrailian shepherd named Keiffer. If you click on the link and then go to recent puppy photos on the right hand side of the page, you can see him. He's adorable!

Anyhow, I'm off to the grocery store! Happy tuesday!

Pictures! Hooray!

I love looking at photos! And from the past 2 weekends of eventful fun I have taken something like 183 pics! So I am just selecting a sampling of them to post. The first set are of Laura and I on our road trip up to Boston, and then through RI!




The next set are from going up to NH with Jon, Leah, Dave, Amber, and Will. Amber and Will have a cabin up in Hill, NH (smallest town ever, good luck locating it on a map!). The weekend was a blast. We mostly hung out around the gigantic bonfire in the evenings. Saturday we went and bought fireworks and had quite the display that night! We also went to a hike to a beautiful waterfall!
Then we bathed in the ridiculously cold river!! Jon and I had fun doing sparklers!

We went off-roading...which was a blast! And the scenery was gorgeous! The leaves have started to change for autumn, (my favorite season!!) And so I couldn't resist a few photos of natures beauties!

All in all the first couple of weeks of October have been a blast! Good times shared with friends, and I am loving New England!
