L-O-V-E

May 18th, 2010

“Love is all that I can give to you…., originally uploaded by Catherine :].

Beautiful photo. I may have missed the blooming of my bleeding heart at home, so I was happy to see it on Flickr! The Flickr-er also referenced the song L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole.

L-O-V-E

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

During a hectic day at work, this photo offered a brief window of serenity. That is the power of photography.

Birthday Party, originally uploaded by aawaken.

Ian had fun celebrating his second birthday! He enjoyed eating his cake one fingerful of icing at a time before digging into the rest. He’s a great little guy and the family had fun celebrating with him!

Life is Beautiful

The ultrasound of our baby felt like a miracle in itself. But to be able to share that with Ian and show him his little sibling was indeed a beautiful moment.

This is a beautiful, fanciful photo (as is the architecture)! I just wish there were a larger version of it.

Whitewater Rafting

What fun to whitewater raft in the Rockies. If you’re like most of us, please remember: since a wetsuit doesn’t cover your ankles, you will get sunburned. Bad.

Jump!

I’m overdue for Flickr photo-blogging (photogging?  Fl’ogging), so here’s one that I found exciting!

Chicago

May 27th, 2009

It was fun to visit Chicago over the weekend.  It was a getaway to celebrate the ending of grad school, which we’d been looking forward to for quite some time.

We snapped some great photos, so check them out!

Luke for Mayor

May 18th, 2009

Our primaries are tomorrow in Pittsburgh and I got a kick out of mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s signage for the campaign. His slogan is “Getting it Done” (sophisticated, no?), so I made a version below that says what he was really thinking.

Interesting Cartoon

May 14th, 2009

Here’s a cartoon for your edu-tainment. 50 years old, but even more relevant today in light of the “fundamental transformation of the United States of America” promised and now being delivered.
