Introducing Kamden James

I am an Auntie! This is my new nephew Kamden James. He was such a good model. 

The neighbours new dog.

Before I get to the baby pictures, my parents neighbour got a new puppy and she is the cutest thing ever!

RIP Maurice Sendak

I loved loved LOVED this book as a kid. He became one of my favourite artists. He will be missed.

Where I use to read the book, on the dining room floor... This is also possibly why the pages got turned. The book did get kicked around a bit, and dragged, and stuffed into backpacks. And my two favourite drawings/pages. 

One of my favourite uncles was named Max (died when I was about 4 years old), and the other loved to sail (died when I was 6 years old) so this page always meant something special to me. As a kid I felt like both uncles were represented and remembered in this page. 

What kid didn't like swinging in the trees...

Love the walk from Augsburg to the UofM

These might be my favourite so far from the trip! 

You never know what you'll find

At Augsburg you never know what you'll find. 

From the Airport to Augsburg...

From the airport I could already see Minneapolis! 

I love the new light rail that they have and I can't wait till it expands!

Some of the stations were quite artistic

I remember coming to one of the mills and watching a dance on the side of the building. So cool to see that they have kept the artistic flare!

The view from the bridge to Augsburg. Down town Minneapolis is just a stones throw away

Oh the memories of living in those two buildings... I hope the photos have been destroyed or lost! 

The start of the trip

So a couple of days ago I took a plane to one of my favourite cities, Minneapolis. I might be biased, this is where I went to undergrad...


Anyway, I started the day with some reggae

Took a train

Then waited for a bus

Found some cows at the airport... Thought I was in Chicago for awhile...

Then got bored waiting for the plane. 

The story continues tomorrow~

On my way to the midwest

Flying and will hopefully have new photos of a different city soon! In the mean time, here's some more from lovely Somerville.

hmm Mothers day is coming up.

I remember watching him on You Tube, and I can't wait to read his book. What an amazing kid!

Another Beautiful day from Somerville.

Gotta love living here. Everything one might like is at most a T-ride away, and it's beautiful! 

Love Love Love my new Camera

I love my new Nikon V1! It's been a blast to shoot with. I do wish that they had a better layout of the manual vs aperture priority vs ect... However after working with it for about a week or so, the other cool stuff it does makes up for this! 

What the Wha???

So I just found this clip...



Really, Really, REALLY... Do these people think that women are animals? That women are less than animals? I understand why people might be on either side of the issue, but comparing women to animals. Telling a women that her child is dead and that she will still have to carry it to term knowing everyday that the thing inside of her, the child inside of her is dead sounds to me like torture, inhumane torture. What really bothers me is how easy it is for this guy to compare women to animals, to dehumanise us. Nothing good ever comes from dehumanising a group of people. Women are people. It seems obvious, but after watching this, seeing some of the laws coming out, and listening to other law makers (I'm talking to you my beloved WI) I feel it is necessary to point out. Women are humans, fully functioning, thinking, intelligent, feeling humans.

Just a few days till heading to the midwest

I haven't been back to MN in about a year, it'll be good to see it again. In the mean time, I'm going to continue to enjoy spring here in Somerville.

More Flowers from Somerville

Have a great weekend everyone! I hope your week went well. 

Gotta love flowers

There is just so much colour out in the world at the moment. I keep trying to take photos of people and places, but I get stuck taking photos of the beautiful flowers all over the neighbourhood. Not a bad predicament! Hope you enjoy them. 

Spring in Boston 2012

Spring has been here in Boston for at least a month. Really most of that time has felt like summer!

The flowers are in full bloom!
