I love this…. go ahead, you can watch it again… I’ll wait. Dwight and I have a lot in common actually. I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal… I can see how Mötley Crüe could psych you up. I used to crank up the music to be ready to face my day. I think I need to… (more…)
I know that I may be tempting fate here… but the stars are aligning – the snow has melted from my yard, it’s been in the 50′s out there – and predicted to be in the 50′s for the rest of the week, and daylight savings time has begun. Now that I can see my gardens, I’m makin’ plans! First,… (more…)
Here’s a moment in time – captured on Topsail Beach, NC last fall. We were at my sister-in-law’s wedding waiting to get our professional photos snapped. This one captures the mood of the moment very nicely. I love my boys The warm colors in the foreground and the cool colors in the background give this photo a nice balance. Again… (more…)
Here we have Yellowstone again – my inspiration photo for the old bathroom remodel. This photo of the Grand Prismatic Pool has so many colors in it – it could inspire more than one room in my house… I like this palette because it has a cooler end and a warmer end… that mimics nature in fact; warmer colors for… (more…)
Here’s another photo that Eric took. He was literally out in the field for work this time when these colors and textures caught his eye. I’m beginning to see that natural color palettes are synonymous with ‘neutral’ color palettes. Maybe. No wonder most people like them – they’re everywhere. I’m partial to the left end of this palette – looks… (more…)
Beauty at a truck stop Ahhh… the memories…. We were driving home for the holidays – the first stop on our 750-mile-in-one-day-commute (with-two-kids-I-might-add). It was an otherwise crappy stop (literally – the son had a bit of a blowout) along the highway in western Indiana. Eric had been driving, the weather was terrible, the kids were complaining, Clayton was a… (more…)
Another myspace relict to see the light of day. Words as relevant today as they were on January 3, 2008: Home is where your heart is, right? It’s where your family is… it’s where you head after a long day of work… But home is also where you accumulate years and years worth of clothing, years and years worth of… (more…)
I have a dusty myspace page. I’m cleaning house – taking what I’d like to keep, and then divesting myself of this dead real estate. I started an eo-blog on that myspace page – so I’m resurrecting some of those old posts for all to see (at least – more than the 17 friends that I had on myspace). The… (more…)
My Yellowstone photo has inspired me to see what other color palettes that I can find in my field photos. This will be the first of a series – here it goes. This is a photo from Firehole Canyon in southwestern Wyoming. You can’t tell from this photo – but this picture was taken from a pretty decent elevation. It… (more…)
This is a photo from the Grand Prismatic Pool in Yellowstone National Park. What a cool place to visit. I did fieldwork in Wyoming for about 11 years before I actually stepped my foot inside Yellowstone. I finally had my opportunity to do a little geotourism there during the summer of 2007. My daughter was 3 at the time –… (more…)
