Hazy Memories...

Currently loving these gorgeous polaroids and the little notes the photographer places over some of them. The images are beautifully hazy and create such a dreamy mood that make those memories even harder to forget. All photos by emilie via Flickr.

Summer..,

Happy longest day of the year!

 The summer always puts me in mood to do things... frolic around catching lightning bugs, take a road trip to anywhere, cook on the grill, plant a beautiful garden, camp out under the stars. 

I've been lucky enough to have already done these things before summer even started this year, so this summer is going to be reserved for things that I have never done before. 

First on my list is go-karting. LivingSocial had a great deal in my area for a round of mini-golf, batting cages, and go-karting for two that only cost $15. I thought it was the perfect way for my beau and I to kick off what will be a kick-a$$ summer.

What are your plans for Summer 2012?

And I'm back...

Obviously I'm really on top of maintaining this blog. CoughNOTcough.  My sincerest apologies. Life has been more hectic than expected up here in NEPA.

Anyway, I have been anxious to start my own terrarium after seeing a bazillion of them around the blogosphere. I had a pre-made one a while back but all the cute DIYs (like this one here or that one there) inspired me to create my own. I'm still on the hunt for a perfect glass container for these succulent babies (does that sound dirty to anyone else?). I'll be going on a thrifting adventure this week and I'm optimistic that just the right one is waiting for me to give it a home. So here's a little peek of what's to come when mine is finished.

Valley Views

It's wonderful to go outside in February and not freeze my a$$ off. 

Dreamy...

Love these dreamy images. Photos by Margaret Durow.

Fading daylight...

My favorite time of day is when the daylight starts to fade. Mother Nature presents some of her best works of art... The colors, the clouds, the silhouettes of everything... Pure beauty.

Summer's colors...

Sunset behind my apartment building. 

Nature girl...

Some favorite photographs from a little nature walk this past week at Smedley Park near Media, PA.

Perfectly clear reflection from the stream.

We found a robin's egg, already hatched, on the ground.

The wonders beyond...

M64: The Sleeping Beauty Galaxy

Yesterday's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" courtesy of NASA. The universe and the pure vastness of undiscovered space out there completely blows my mind... 

Today's dream...

Live by a beach, if not directly on a beach.

Some of the beautiful things in life...
