Lucy

Warning: This whole post is Lucy. She toddled around the yard today like a pro, picking up leaves and munching on crackers. So I took some photos of her. That is, if you count "some photos" as a lot of photos. :) 

So dirty, but so cute!

The myrtle berry things are already dried and cracking. Remember the myrtle pic from this blog post? (It's in the middle of the page...)

That's then end of our afternoon escapade in the yard. :) Look at that bokeh in the last image, of all the fallen leaves. Bloody gorgeous. I think it was shot at 1.4 or 2.0... 

I need to figure out what to do with the video I have on my phone (it's adding up). I should make something soon.

Anyway, happy autumn again!

11-11-11

Today was so beautiful, and on top of that, it was 11-11-11. So I felt inspired and obligated to take photos... The light was so clear, crisp and bright this morning/afternoon. The house was lit up with it. From the kitchen, the blinds striped the floor with shadows and light, and the sun was making ordinary things glow. 

I love when the light changes in the fall, and midday sun is no longer harsh and dry, but vivid and lovely. 

The sky in October and November is absolutely stunning in Georgia. I don't know about other regions, but here the sky is a perfect blue when the sun is out. 

We made vegetable soup tonight! It was quite good. :)

Dinner and homework and chatting with Logan absorbed most of the day (in a good way). Tomorrow will involve English homework, putting away the pile of laundry that is too large for just one small girl, some neglected computer work... :) I'll reserve next semester for an impossible list of things to do -- attempting eighteen hours in the spring!

I've been thinking about what to do. By "do," I mean how to proceed with my life, the next step, the thing to shoot for. Maybe I'll write a post about it soon... Writing things out helps me a lot. Hmm.

Anyway, I hope you had a lovely November 11th of 2011, and that tomorrow is surprisingly interesting (in a good way) for you. :) 

Hopefully I'll write again soon!

Autumn

I've finally gotten around to taking pics of the lovely fall weather tonight. :) 

Hope you're having a lovely fall season!

October Camping - Part II

Sunset on the waterfront is one of my favorite things; the roll and shush of the waves slowing down, the dazzling line of light reflected off the water, how the sun turns the shore and trees orange with black shadows.

Scruffy brother with his scruffy shirt and not-as-cool-as-mine iPhone. :)

This is the end of Day One of our camping trip... Just as a side note: it was vigorously windy for the first half of the day. Not cold, but the wind was a steady force. 

That's my iPhone box, by the way!! In case you didn't get it from the last post, I bought the new 4s... It's white, so I named it Johnny in honor of my first white iMac. You can see a portrait of me and my phone here at this gorgeous blog post by Logan. :D

Find me on Instagram! I'm carolinelarousse, or I think you can search by my name. :)

One more camping post to go... Maybe tomorrow!
