Albus Dumbledore!

I know, I know... long time no see.
I just really haven't been taking many pictures lately, and those that I have taken I haven't been too happy with and/or didn't feel like taking the time to edit. I do have a bunch to add still but for now here are a couple pictures of Albus Dumbledore. No, not the old guy from Harry Potter--the stray cat my roommates and I found today and sort of adopted. Isn't he adorable?

Flowers!

I can't believe I'm posting this instead of studying in the library...
I was just really sick of my layout so ta-da a new one!
I also have a bunch of pictures to update with... I'm just short on time. For now just a few that I already edited. (Actually just three pictures, each with two different edits).

Mr. Squirrel

I walked outside to get the newspaper today and saw a squirrel and four crows hanging out beneath the cherry trees eating the spoiled fruit that had dropped. I immediately ran inside to get my camera, and when I got back they were actually still there! While the crows were smart enough to back away from me (not that I would want pictures of ugly crows anyway) Mr. Squirrel here was too busy with his fruit to give me any notice. He let me slowly inch towards him far enough to get in some decent shots before finally scampering away.

Just some different editing.

My favorite shot, doesn't that look yummy!

Yumm, cherries!

Time for a much needed update. Yet again just pictures of flowers I've taken around the yard and some of cherries too! We had soooo many yellow cherries this year, unfortunately they don't photograph well even if their blossoms did. Fortunately after buckets and buckets of yellow we actually got some off of our sickly red cherry tree too. Just enough for a pie (which was de-lic-ious)!

Happy Birthday To Me

Just under a week ago I celebrated my 21st birthday.
My parents and I went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant for burritos and margaritas.
So delicious.
Here are just a few pictures I wanted to share.
I didn't bother editing them since they were just taken with my dad's point and shoot.

My mom got me this digital photo frame to show off all my pictures.
It LOOKS like a real photo frame!

Anyone who has been lucky enough to taste my mom's cheesecake knows how amazing it is.
She spent years trying recipe after recipe until she finally found the perfect one.
For my birthday she tried a new version of this recipe
Mint Chocolate Chip!
ZOMG it was amazing!

Nature Pictures [Midland and Vienna]

Felt like having a Springy post so I'm just putting up some nature pictures this time. Which ones are Vienna and which ones are Midland? I'll never tell... Okay, okay, the first three are Midland and the last three are Vienna, stop having a cow!

I have a bunch more pictures of Vienna to be added later (along with some from Burano and Murano) I just don't have the energy for a big post right now.
As you can see it was time for an all-around Spring revamp and there are now pretty flowers in my header and profile picture.

When In Roma!

This may be my last post actually from Italy. I'm almost finished with exams and then its a week and a half of traveling before finally going home (which I am no where near ready to do).

The Colosseum at night.

Some B/W photoshopping.
