i digress

spring is here.
The signs are everywhere, its quite obvious now. It's finally warm enough to go outside without a bulky winter coat. The birds chirp in the early morning outside my window, a sound I've not woken up to in a while. Tiny white flowers are sprouting up all over the place. It makes me so happy to see spring once again.

shake it like a polaroid picture.
I've always been in love with polaroid photos. Check these out, aren't they cute?! One day I'll own my own polaroid camera, but for now I was inspired to create my own frames. They're no where near as perfect as these , but still. Thanks to the magnificent paper slicer, I didn't have to cut a single piece by hand {lazy much, huh?}. Now all that's left is to order my photo prints. I'll be sure to show you the finished product once they're finished.









listening to.
You guys have to check out this song. Every Season by Nichole Nordeman. It's beautiful and pertains so much to my life right now. {I'm not sure how to make links work for music, sorry.}

the bokeh bat.
No, not the wooden swinging kind. The squeaking-black-winged kind. Yep, you heard me right. I stood outside with my dad tonight and photographed a bat flying in our yard. It was fun actually. My camera doesn't operate very well in the dark as I'm learning, but capturing the basic blurred bat shape was good enough for me. I call it the bokeh bat. Hehe.

just because he's cute.
I'll end this post with my favorite shot of SJ so far. He told me 'I love you' in English, completely made my day.
