Old Timey School House

20140724-school
I’ve driven by this school house many times. Each time, I wait for that perfect moment when the building peeks through the trees and you can admire it in all its beauty. It took me a year of driving by it every month or so to finally stop and get a picture of it… I don’t know why.

I wonder what the children that attend the school think of it. I wonder if there’s some warm, older teacher in there whose idiosyncrasies match those of the school and who can tell you stories about the history of the school and the valley that it’s in.

The Flower Within

I’m sure there are thousands of great bougainvillea pictures out there but I just could not resist. Also, besides cropping, I did not alter the picture in any way. There is a lot of bougainvillea at the beginning of my half of a mile long driveway and I am always entranced by how it looks and feels completely different depending upon what time of day it is. This is what it looks like a little after the sun has started to set. More often, it is more fuchsia or pink looking but here it is more electric purple… its hypnotizing when I see it like this.

Hat Store

If you go into a hat store… try on hats! I love this hat store because they have all sorts of hats and I really can’t help myself. I wondered if the ladies that work there are sick of people like me who just walk in there and take pictures in hats but then I remembered that I bought a knit unicorn hat from them once… so there’s that.

This is a t-shirt I picked up for myself in the kids section at Target. There’s actually a lot of things going on if you look closely. Love me some weird Star Wars stuff.

I Am An Addict

20140701-fireworks-addict
Fireworks are addicting. I live in an area where some fireworks are legal and I went to get a couple things this past weekend before getting my main haul on the fourth. One trip to the fireworks stand for a couple small fountains turned into a second trip to get all of this and then we had a fun evening. All of these were gone in one night. The fiery frog was cool it’s eyes and mouth lit up different colors as the fountain emitted different colored sparks.

Jacaranda Tree

20140619-loki-jacaranda
Loki and I went for a walk just before sunset and we stopped to stare at the gorgeous Jacaranda tree. The blooms on the ground are almost as beautiful as the tree itself. They just transfer their colorful, unique natural status to the otherwise ordinary pavement.

A gorgeous Jacaranda tree picture after the jump!
