Happy Cinco de Mayo!This would have been way cooler with cinco beers, but our Mexican Beer Pack from Sam’s only had these quatro, and we didn’t have any Corona stocked in the BEvERage Fridge. Oh well. Maybe next year.

Went for a run this morning, which is notable for two things: it’s the first time I’ve run in weeks (I know, I know…slacker girl!) and I went running outside. I’ve been a treadmill runner for a good while now (when I am actually, you know, running), and feel pretty good about it. I figure hey, at least I’m running. But then the weather finally turned nice (beautiful, really), and I decided to try the Asics on asphalt. Concrete, to be more precise, but I was striving for aliteration there.

Sometimes, when you’re not even looking for a shot…there it is.

Took Zozer to visit Queeny Park today, or “Queeny’s Park” as she likes to call it. It’s a really beautiful park with lots of interesting architectural features. Turns out it’s a minefield for a toddler though. Lots of slippery pea gravel and skull-crushing granite, with nary a swing in sight. And I won’t even mention all the places that practically invite 10-15 feet falls. We spent probably 30 minutes there, with both of us having multiple heart attacks with her every step, and after two crashes caused by pea gravel on concrete, we called it a day.

Here’s my little beatnik baby, with her bubble goatee. This happens when she leans all the way forward and sticks her face in the water (which she does quite frequently). She had a bubble moustache, too, but I couldn’t run to get the camera fast enough and so had to settle for just the beard.

In one of my previous posts, I wrote about the authentic Mexican restaurant that newly opened in a nearby community, and how as soon as I saw it, I knew I was going to shoot it. And I knew I was going to shoot it in color, create a duplicate layer, desaturate it, and then erase to let the natural color of just the storefront pop through from the original layer. I knew all that within 10 seconds of seeing the place.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the early morning light coming through my dining room window. That’s my daily “me time,” when the house is empty and quiet, and I have a few minutes to eat breakfast and read before heading out the door to increasingly busy days at work.

I’m not the type of person to buy flowers just because. I love flowers, but it always seems like such a waste of money. They die, then you throw them out, and that’s that.

Okay, so yeah, it’s picturesque and trite and has probably been shot a million times. But I was there, and the scene presented itself and I had never shot it. So I did.
