Portraits of Peonies

This is the happiest time of year for me . . . for it's the time of the year when you can buy peonies at Trader Joe's for like a buck a piece. So I indulged myself and bought a dozen. Unfortunately their lifespan was quite short, lasting just a week (I think that's the same life span of a butterfly). I snapped these portraits the day before they died. They had already lost their fuschia-ness, but they were still quite lovely.

Have some flowers, and then read this.

Spring Has Sprung

The weather here is lovely!

The End of Tulips

I left the lazy tulips on the dining room table for a few days and this is what happens. I can totally sympathize. Please let me feel better tomorrow. I don't want to end up like the tulips.

Relapse

Sick again.
So cruel.
At least it's not the flu.
Off to work.
Poor me.

Lazy Tulips

Clearly this flu/cold does not want to go away. I thought I was better, but now it has morphed into an awful sore throat. The kind that makes you dread swallowing, and when you finally swallow, because if you don't you will choke on the saliva that has accumulated in your mouth, you remember why you dreaded it so much. No fun. No fun at all. I feel worse than these tulips look. I am much sulkier.

sunday morning

in spite of the fact that polaroid is shutting down (don't worry, i have a lot of film), i still think today is going to be a good day. this shot captures my mood.

white rose

the rain we had destroyed all of our roses. thankfully i have this polaroid to remind me how lovely they were.

white is the new black

just a random collection of whiteness.

little tokyo

i spent a lot of time this weekend reading blogs and being inspired. i came across a lot of images from japanese books and magazines that i loved! so i took a trip down to little tokyo to buy myself some books. i bought a lot! i also bought these shoes, a vase, some dishes, bowls, etc.
