later summer, early fall

Hello again, after a long absent of sorts.

I'm spending a lot of time wearing no shoes, I'm becoming more mature (no, really) and summer is slowing closing it's blinds, expecting the colors of an early fall.

I'm looking forward to the feeling of resting before the cold of winter, settling into a new semester at school, working out artistic projects, working out my own faith with great fear and trembling, and pressing leaves in journals to send to friends.

So, here is a small collection from my two weeks of epiphanies and arrivals, a perspective on the closing days of a season. Enjoy.


This is a pitcher I keep around my house, situated, at this moment, next to a bowl of onions destined to take part in a yam soup.


Summer is all about friends.


This is the new journal I'm using.


Some leaves.


If I was a rabbit....


This is where I carry all my journals, and other sundry items.


Some local fare which I shared with some friends.


And the entertainment for the evening.

More to come.

we found our way into the afternoon

Here is a collection of pictures all about the summer. I like to think that summer is a perfect time to travel and experience life. Though, I have not done an extensive amount of traveling lately. This has to change soon, before August closes it's curtain. We'll see.

August 2006. This is a potted flower in my Aunt's garden. (classic picture of the day).



This is me, driving to Seattle to see "The Album Leaf", wearing Jamison's glasses.




This is tea that I really like, that I enjoyed whilst listening to a jazz concert.


July 2008. Some kids and I drove into Seaside, Oregon, in a 15 passenger van. This is one of the small cites in Oregon.


I didn't get a whole lot of time to explore oregon, because I was at this beach most of the time. But I am definitely going back next spring break. Oregon really is a great place to be. If there was an Oregon version of Baywatch it would look like this-



This is a friend I met down by the beach. There were lots of cute girls around, but for some reason hanging out with squirrels seemed more appealing (being shy sucks, man).



Driving home.


... Thus ending my Oregon / Seattle adventure. These are the cups that Starbucks gives you if you buy coffee near Pike Place Market-


Pike Place Market is the place to be.

More to come.
