It Rears Its Head or Something

I'm not usually the jealous type (and when I say not usually, I mean that when I get jealous of other people, say, having fun times in New York with out me, I, oh I don't know, buy a plane ticket immediately...So yeah, "not usually" is the right way to put it), but I have to say, I am quite jealous of my dear friend Camilla and her beauteous blog. Every time I visit it (which is often, I must admit), I am struck green with envy. She has been posting so many beautiful photographs lately that I'm jealous that I haven't been taking many photographs in the past few weeks. I'm not exactly sure why I haven't, perhaps it is because I have been busy, training for my new job (yay paid teaching artist position!). Whatever it is, I thank Camilla for reminding me to just go out and shoot. Here are ones from my own backyard :

Our deck is blue and falling apart and awesome.

Yay for Fall.

I love trees. Especially trees with pretty bark.

I was serious about loving trees.

Thanks for the inspiration, Camilla.
