One Hundred and Fourteen


I saw a castle in the sky.

In fact, it's the top of a brick church that I see every day, but I was looking up because of some weird clouds and noticed how much it looks like a medieval castle. Neat. I love noticing new things about familiar places.

One Hundred And Twelve


If something has to wear blankets to survive our mild winter, maybe it shouldn't be growing here.

One Hundred And One

More from Cuba...I just have so much to share! I took this photo using my sister's underwater digital camera when we were at a market in Havana...the markets there are ah-ma-zing. Antique cameras as far as the eye can see.


Also, since I mentioned that the camera takes underwater photos, check these out:




We both took self-portraits in the ocean...mine was in the Gulf of Mexico, hers was when we went to the Bay of Pigs.

ONE HUNDRED!!

A picture of me in Cuba, stolen from my dad's facebook page. This was from when we went snorkelling at the Bay of Pigs. We saw all kinds of coral, JELLYFISH (not cool), fish of all colors and sizes, and A SUNKEN SHIP. It was one of the coolest things ever. And scary.

Eighty Two


Why is this bike lane so green? It's anybody's guess.

Seventy Seven

Every year this parade of trucks drives basically right past my front door. It's always worth waiting out in the cold. They honk their horns, blare their sirens and play techno music. It's a strange strange parade.

I had trouble taking a nice picture, and was too cold to care.

Seventy Three


Sometimes the view from the bus is so irresistable, I risk looking like a tourist to take a picture.

Seventy Two


Frosty snowy rainy sunny...I have no idea how to dress for this weather.
Especially footwear.

Sixty Two




The first snowfall of the season happened last night. 
It's not that I mind the snow, I don't really care. 
It's mostly the insanely bad winter drivers 
and the poor sidewalk shoveling etiquette in this city that's terrible.

On the plus side, everything looks extra pretty today!

Sixty One


The view from between the coffee shop and my work. 
Not bad, huh?
