colorado has some crazy clouds this time of year!
and some crazy snow, too!
and this is how i feel about the snow, at this point in the season… Continue reading
nothing makes me happier than when i’m taking pictures. nothing makes my soul shine brighter and vibrate higher than when i have a camera in my hand. i am at my absolute best when i am capturing the world around me, through these eyes, through fotography. creating memorable images is what i do best. i am in love with fotography, and it is in love with me.
fotography is my absolute passion in life.
snow, however – is not. but we are working on establishing a healthy symbiotic relationship…
😉
…to capture the beautiful things that happen in your life…
and may i add – THANK GOODNESS that i have the capability to take pictures of life’s – shall we say – “precious moments” 😉
like when my cat totally curls up in my arms for 3 hours while i watch a movie on the couch…
or when i catch a glorious sunset…
or moonset… 😉
or when i’m wondering a trail on my lunch-break, and have a meaningful moment with nature…
have a great weekend!
so, i randomly and spontaneously my have potentially found my new favourite restaurant. the charming place is called town. and the period is part of the title, so don’t forget it. 😉 if the rumour that their menu changes up frequently is in fact accurate, i may make it official. in the meantime, here is what i had for lunch the other day with a friend.
maple-braised pork belly with caramelized onions, pear, and bacon bits on a bed of brussel sprout leaves… and my favourite thing we ordered — it was just heavenly!
rabbit tacos with some kind of amazing salsa and a creamy mild cheese… shredded carrots, pepitas, scallions, and some other deliciousness. and hey – don’t judge me.
shrimp po’ boy… done a little differently, but still good. shrimp was super tasty as well as the homemade sweet potato chips, and the perfectly dill/sweet combo pickles were also excellent.
i tell ya one thing – i cannot wait to go back for dinner!!!!!!! 😀
aaannnnd, i really want to take pictures of/for them!
continued from last week –
isn’t this wild?!?! sunken evil snow creature emerges… aaaaaahhhhh!!!
…
love the gradient effect…
literally a “mountain” of snow…

soooo – the broncos lost the superbowl. yeah, in like a MAJOR WAY! *sigh*
i’ll leave the rants for the professionals – all i’m going to say is it’s a good thing i was surrounded with fun people and lots of delicious food.
it was a “soup-or-bowl” party – bring a soup or a bowl of salad. i brought maryland crab soup. so i thought i’d share the recipe 🙂
i had never made this before – though i remember eating it almost every day for lunch when i was living in aberdeen, maryland many years ago. my favourite little cafe on the side of the highway always had the biggest vat of it simmering all day and it smelled so amazing!
i just made it based on what i remembered and “winged” the rest… Continue reading
just a couple shots of my kitty callee, being insanely cute and sitting next to this pillow my grandma gave me years before i even got callee… doesn’t the cat on the pillow look just like her?!!!
gah, she’s just so cute!!!!!
🙂 have a great weekend, everyone!

I {MISS} NEW YORK!!
i have a cute tiny {claw-foot} tub in my tiny home, and it came complete with that cute little bar-type-thing that props up a book for you to read while you take a bath… Continue reading
i don’t care if it’s like, 5 years old and moreover, that it resembles an old-school polaroid foto. i’m sure there are way “cooler” apps out there now, but i still love the good ol’ shake-it app.
and here are some snapshots from my week :
i enjoyed this amazing burger from the best place in the valley…
i made myself these amazing crab legs for new year’s eve celebration…
then followed it with this mostly amazing tradition for lunch the on new year’s day… i say mostly because it was a little dry, but i ate it anyway. 😉 Continue reading
nom nom… i just love this time of year. the holidays are also all about eating, right?! and sharing… 🙂
like this homemade peanut brittle from a friend’s mama in michigan and homemade caramels from my wonderful neighbours -50 yards away.
my goodness they are both SO AMAZING! i completely savoured each one, and still am. it’s that kind of treat – when someone takes time to make something so incredibly delicious like this and then shares it… THAT is the true meaning of the holidays… or, the nom-nom-idays. i think we should start making it more about food than “gifts”. afterall, i believe food is one of THE BEST gifts you can give… and receive 😉 Continue reading
i watched this movie…
i ate this entire bag of holiday grapes…
i saw this on the bus ride into work… i’m pretty sure it took off from someone’s private ranch… Continue reading
my kitty callee loves laying on my yoga mat…and why wouldn’t she?! — cats can get into some pretty contorted positions, dude!
and since injuring my neck/shoulder last week {i’ll give all the details soon}, i am actually told by my physical therapist to NOT do too much stretching… so callee is taking my place on the magenta mat until a couple weeks pass 😉
have a great weekend, friends!
i am way overdue for a tiny home update. i have had a lot of personal things going on lately, so i haven’t been taking as many fotos or blogging as much.
plus, the holidays kind of make me want to hibernate… and so does my adorable tiny house… especially when i come home one day and it has been surprisingly decorated… like this :
it’s like living in a snowglobe right now… for real. especially with this fun little wordpress snow falling all over the blog 😉
{and i have the coolest landlords/neighbours ever!}
my creative fee is $365 for 5 hours of FOOD or 5 hours of FOTO
contact me for more details! 🙂
the holidays are officially here!
here are a few of my favourite recipes from 2013… any and all of which celebrate the true meaning of this season – EATING! 😀
