an oldie but goodie

It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since T. and I got hitched. Let's see here...last year around this time I was scouring craigslist for old mason jars, writing up our programs, and talking our guitarist into learning a Zeppelin song for my walk down the aisle! ;o)

I wanted our guests to have something to remember the mountains by (we got married in Colorado), so the week before the wedding I took a bunch of pictures to be printed out as favors. Of course I waited until the last minute--and by last minute I mean 2AM the day of the wedding--to print them all out / cut them to size (bless you J, bless you), but the end result was just as I had envisioned.

Here is one of my favorite shots, taken in the dewy grass near Lake Dillon in Frisco.

secret names

"After he was quiet a long time, words began to come to him in dreams & told him their secret names & this was the way he learned the true nature of the world." -Story People

the light is all

"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

everywhere, for a moment

"Lilacs in dooryards

Holding quiet conversations with an early moon;

Lilacs watching a deserted house

Settling sideways into the grass of an old road;

Lilacs, wind-beaten, staggering under a lopsided shock of bloom

Above a cellar dug into a hill.

You are everywhere."

-Amy Lowell

for mom

Happy Mother's Day! ;o)
