it sneaks up on you, it does.

innocence.

I was driving to the park today for a picnic dinner with friends and this feeling washed over me-

the way the sun hit the road and even though it was the same way I always take (and lately I've been feeling nostalgic for things past, as that happens with the season change, so many moments like this, the smells, the colors behind the clouds remind me of that one time) but this moment was different... I felt something new.

Same old me, same old road, same old everything. Yet I felt like something new was ahead, or is happening right this very now.


tippy tappy on the lappy top

So anyway, earlier I was photographing some roses I bought for myself and it was especially quiet, only open windows and nothing "on" to make distraction. I looked up to find Ivy had snuck up on the chair to tippy tap at my laptop.

shh shh shh
[the people on the bus say shh shh shh]


You Capture: quiet. All sooc "straight out of camera" this week, folks.

Psst. Ivy's dress was a surprise gift from Sister Sue (etsy alert!), in a package of gifts sent to Beth.

Wholesale Nike AirForce said...

I just got a new pair of Nike Air Force One shoes, and I could not be happier. My custom Nike Air Force Ones are the coolest thing that I have seen in years. These ones are a special St. Patrick's day addition, done in bright green and white. Very retro. I am tempted to save my Nike Air Force One shoes for playing basketball, but the thing is, I just can not keep them off of my feet. Everyone who sees me gives me a look of envy when they check out my Nike Air Force One shoes, because they know that I've got the cash flow to buy the nice threads.

Nike AirForce 1 said...

This shoe is the most comfortable nike shoe I have ever purchased. I primarily wear my nike shoes for comfort and fashion. The first time I wore it and every time thereafter it felt like I was walking on cloud nike shoe. I sincerely hope this model nike shoe will be around for a long time to come in the event I need to replace it with a new one. To kind of ensure that I'll be in style and comfort for a good while I've purchased two additional pairs. Bravo nike shoe!

Wholesale Nike AirForce 1 said...

We all love a great pair of jordan shoes. Even men can appreciate a quality pair of sneakers. Whether you are looking for basketball, jogging, or just everyday comfort, jordan shoes are a must. These are the things we walk, run and climb with everyday

wholesale nike shoe said...

Great Nike AirForce 1. Shipped quickly. Quality is great. I have trouble with plantar fasciitis and the Nike AirForce 1 is nicely padded to keep me from aggravating my condition. Overall, I"m very happy with purchase. Color options were good too. Will defn continue to order on-line.Thanks Nike AirForce 1!

I recently purchased these nike shoes for my girlfriend as a christmas gift. She totally loved them far more than all her other air maxes she owns. I couldn't agree with hermore. They are by far the best women's nike shoes I have seen. Great quality, great design, and feather weight. I was completely satisfied with my purchase and would totally recommend these nike shoes to anyone who is considering purchsing them.
