Spring Flowers

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

Holidays: Holi (Festival of Colors and Spring)

No religion makes more use of color than Hinduism, with its blue-skinned gods and peony-lipped goddesses, and even the spring festival of Holi is focused on color: Boys squirt arcs of dyed water on passersby or dump powder, all violently hued, on their marks.

Places - National Parks (7/63): Mt. Rainer, Washington

In the deep forests of Mount Rainier, the sun doesn’t rise, it leaks in thin bands through the trees.

Places - National Parks (6/63): Mammoth Cave, Kentucky

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

Places - National Parks (5/63): Grand Canyon, Arizona

It is a vast wilderness of rocks in a sea of light, colored and glowing like oak and maple woods in autumn, when the sun gold is richest.

iphone3gs moodboard i love iphones

Moodboard for the iPhone 3G can be found here

Although there is probably an accidental mix of that release into he board and not all the actual 3GS, it is at least an early Gen iPhone.

While I'll agree the original iPhone was a game changer, I'm personally not a fan of any Apple tech. I had the LG enV and Motorola Droid at the time the 3G was out!

Objects: iPhone 3G

The iPhone you have been waiting for.

Animals: Jellyfish

A jellyfish, if you watch it long enough, begins to look like a heart beating.

Places - National Parks (4/63): Everglades, Florida

The miracle of the light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slow-moving below, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades of Florida. It is a river of grass.

Places - National Parks (3/63): Crater Lake, Oregon

Never again can I gaze upon the beauty spots of the earth and enjoy them as being the finest thing I have ever seen. Crater Lake is far above them all.

Theme: Day at the Aquarium

This was actually so soothing to look at images for. I hope you like it!

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in the water.

Would love to see a national parks run! Joshua Tree was beautiful when I was there a year ago, would love to see your take on a board for it.

Thank you for the encouragement and your patience! I'm so sorry this took a bit. Between work, being sick, and my writing hobby I've been a little busy, and haven't been able to come back to creating boards since before the new year.

I'll be busy for a long time if I do all 63 parks so I may pick and choose for the time being what I start with. At any rate, I think it'll be fun to show off the nicer spots of the country that deserve to be cared for.

Ask the dust on the road! Ask the Joshua trees standing alone where the Mojave begins.

So I have been working a lot, and then I got sick right after Christmas. In short, the holidays have unfortunately been trash.

I'm going to get to the one request I have sitting in my inbox and am planning a bunch of national parks boards now since there's interest. But please feel free to send more things and I promise I'll get to them when I don't feel terrible and am not bogged down by life!

Holidays: New Year's

New year is the glittering light to brighten the dream-lined pathway of future.

Holidays: New Year's Eve

Any new beginning is forged from the shards of the past, not from the abandonment of the past.
