{tiny tuesday – have you ever been THE FIRST at anything?!}
15 Octi have never been THE FIRST at anything… at least not to my knowledge…
i mean, i have lots of original photographs i’ve captured… many of which may be the “only” of their kind… but i’ve never really been the FIRST at anything i’ve done… until now.
i am the first and only person to live in this new mini home. now, i’m not fortunate enough to own this lovely home, but i am the first person to officially reside in it – on gorgeous private property with a river in my backyard and endless hills surrounding every corner. it feels pretty incredible to be the first person to live here. i’m grateful to have met the builder last year… we remained in contact and he updated me on the home this summer, when it was just about complete. everything sort of fell into place, guiding me to these hills and to this home. i’m taking it all one day at a time and just soaking up each gloriously relaxing moment in my new environment… and one thing i love about living here – I SLEEP SO GREAT!
when i wrote about my visit in september was when i fell in love and knew i had to follow my heart to the rocky mountains…
here are some detail shots of some of my favourite features inside this amazing home.

this is the main living space… upon entering, there is a small foyer. i have moved some things around, but wanted to give you all an idea of how this looks before and after 🙂 Continue reading

{ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…}
22 Sephey everyone, happy sunday. and happy first day of autumn!!
this is my favey-fav season, and not just because i was born in it 😉 but i do tend to thrive in autumn… i love the colours of course, and the calming down from summer, snuggling and cozying in and slowing down… i just love all that autumn brings along with it.
i’m just relaxing and enjoying my half-caff americano* and was thinking about how many blogs i want to catch up on.
*{that reminds me of this funny thing that happened and i took a foto of it}
🙂
my life has shifted so drastically in the month of september, that i just haven’t had time to keep up with the blog like i wanted to. plus – a huge rebirthing is in order here at foodandfoto.com. on a personal level, i have grown and “re-birthed” on my own so much, that it’s only fitting the blog shifts along with me. i’m not exactly sure what that will look like yet, but do stay tuned – some big changes are on the way!

{foto friday – minimalist lifestyle : the cutest tiny home ever.}
13 Sepi love a minimalist lifestyle.
ever since i sold all my stuff and moved to NYC in 2008, the idea of a minimalist lifestyle started to appeal to me more and more. as years have progressed, i’ve found myself actually downsizing even more. it’s very liberating to be able to fit everything you own into a 5-piece suitcase set and the back of your subaru.
🙂
i’ll have a story to tell soon behind this little house… for now, i just want to share the fotos of where i stayed on vacation last weekend on the beautiful western slope of the rocky mountains. this home sits on private property with the roaring hills steps away, as its backyard. i am not certain of the square footage, but it i’m guessing it’s around 300, including the loft. the living space is maybe 200 square-feet? but it is so well-designed, one still feels open within the space. plus, all you have to do is open the door and you’re in the biggest open-space ever… 😀
i just fell in love with this place.
how could you not?!
complete with patio and furniture, outside heater… Continue reading
{foto friday : headed to the hills}
6 Sepi’m taking a much-needed long weekend and heading up the rocky mountains for a little getaway. i’m hoping to gain some inspiration, clarity, peace, and get a little rejuvenated. i may have some exciting news to share upon my return, as well 🙂
in the meantime, here are some fotos i took at a spot in glenwood springs, around this time, last year… not far from where i’ll be staying!
check out that heavy fog rolling in…
cool sculpture of some kind… i believe it was made out of wood from an old fire?! can’t remember…
when viewing this foto in high resolution, you can actually see the little bee floating above the flower on the right… Continue reading

{my kitty, callee – doin’ some pretty cute cat stuff}
2 Augmy kitty, callee, is incredibly adorable… like, really! the fotos don’t really do her much justice… and unfortunately she’s too timid to show off her cuteness around many people other than myself… i’m blessed and grateful that she chose me… she’s so ridiculous and wonderful and funny and – ADORABLE!
hiding behind the blinds… super spy kitty.
literally wearing my swim suit after i was sunbathing one day… weirdo.
doing the quintessential cat-in-the-box thing… friggin ridiculous.

this time she was extra wiggly… movin’ all around on that thing, and bustin’ out poses i’ve never seen before… 😉
she’s all like, “namaste – mrrreow” … seriously though, she is sooooooo beyond chatty! the most talkative cat you’ll ever meet. one day i’ll get a good video of her talking and post it for you…
