“I remember going swimming as a child and making a wish before I jumped into the pool. [...] I'd stretch my arms out, as if I were sending my thoughts right into space.

365 Day 167

“That is the earth, he thought. Not a globe thousands of kilometers around, but a forest with a shining lake, a house hidden at the crest of a hill, high in the trees, a grassy slope leading upwards from the water, fish leaping and birds strafing to take the bugs that lived at the border between water and sky. Earth was the constant noise of crickets, and winds, and birds”

365 Day 169

At a little wooden cabin
Up in northern Minnesota
We ran together down to the dock
And you jumped right off it

And from out in the water
You called me to join you
And I said, "Baby, I cannot swim
If I jump, I'll surely drown you"

You said, "Life has no limit
If you're not afraid to get in it"
And oh, baby, I jumped to you
Since then there's nothing I can't do
-Mason Jennings

365 Day 170

Miles and miles the wheels are still in spin
We’ve seen it all arise and fall again
You and I still the best of friends
It’s almost over now
And it’s almost over now
-Carolina Story

And then We Snapped - Weeks # 43 and #44


 As the summer starts rolling it's getting harder to make my monday evening deadline for this blog. I may end up blogging more randamly as summer moves on.  We had a couple of great weeks here. It's fun to look at these photos and see how much the weather fluctuated. I do think summer is now here to stay and I couldn't be more excited! I also shot my first wedding of the season and it was a great one. 

I hope you enjoy a peek at the past two weeks around here.
