once upon a time in february it was 70 degrees, and I walked around a lake in a t-shirt…

walkaroundthelake-1walkaroundthelake-3

along the way, i spotted lots of beautiful and interesting things… like naked trees and cracks in the earth…

walkaroundthelake-18walkaroundthelake-19

like, crazy amounts of cracks… like the earth is erupting from below!..

walkaroundthelake-5walkaroundthelake-6

along the way, i also spotted crazy amounts of geese… walking around, and walking on ice…

walkaroundthelake-23walkaroundthelake-25

and speaking of ice, i spotted parts of the lake that were still frozen and parts that were melting…

walkaroundthelake-7walkaroundthelake-8

it was a lovely site… the wind blew crazy in my face and yet the sun on my face kept me crazy warm…

walkaroundthelake-9walkaroundthelake-10

the clouds were very interesting… and this picture looks like an alien ship about to land!…

like most pet-owners, i’m a little obsessed… and i’m pretty much in love with my cat. ❤

i mean, how can i not be – look at how cute my callee kitty is!!!!

calleegrrl-8calleegrrl-7

i love it when she stands like this or when she looks at me like that…

calleegrrl-11calleegrrl-5

and i love her crazy long whiskers and when her ears go back like this…

calleegrrl-2calleegrrl-3

she’s mildly playful, and also easily annoyed when her claws get stuck in things…

calleegrrl-4calleegrrl-1

and it’s fun when you scroll through film and find pics like these! 😀

i’m just in love with my cat! ❤

{the intricate, cool, and colourful cabbage}

3 Feb

colourfulcabbage-3colourfulcabbage-4

i am truly fascinated by nature. nothing makes me feel more connected than LIFE itself… you know, the being alive part, not the stuff we fill our lives with. food gives me a feeling that is unlike anything else. when i chop up vegetables, i stand in awe for a minute and marvel at what is before me. i am taken aback every single time i cut a cabbage in half. it blows my mind… i always find myself thinking, “BUT WHY?! why do you grow like that?!” …not to mention that stunning colour!

it truly does amaze me that nature has such intricacies about it. romanesco is one of the biggest food wonders, in my opinion. cabbage is a close second. i am also fascinated by swiss chard. sometimes i look at food and think about how similar it is to us, to humans… so many details going on inside and out. my hope is that we can all try to be a little more like food, like nature. be more of the BEING and not just the human.

i digress. 

i hope you enjoy these fotos i took while feeling inspired by this cool, intricate cabbage.

when i flipped it upside down, i thought it kind of represented a face. 😉

{thirsty thursday : “not your father’s rootbeer”}

10 Dec

nyfrootbeer-1nyfrootbeer-2

alcoholic rootbeer.

when i first discovered this, i wasn’t exactly excited.  it sounded a little weird to me. but oh my goodness is this stuff good! it’s kind of a trend right now, i guess. i’ve tried a few brands, but this one is my favourite by far. it’s amazing how much it tastes just like rootbeer!!! the label recommended pouring it over ice… which, again, sounded odd to me but i tried it anyway. and it’s very good!
however, it’s also very very sweet and has a ton of sugar in it, so i only drink one on occasion for fun. and i highly recommend you do, as well!

🙂
