June through Instagram.

Experimenting with photobooth. Want to do a film serious like this. 

I took Louisa and Sabrina to Franklin Park. I love the carousel there.

Flying.

Me & Ludwig.

A cloud.

Practicing my back balance. I can hold it forever now!

Went to a fun pool party with my friend Nick.

Nick.

Dani and our moms came for a visit. We had coffee in Rittenhouse.

I got these shoes, because I can't resist anything sparkly. They're almost like walking on stilts, almost.

Dani and I danced our bums off at Silk City.

Then I went to Blanchard for a visit.

Met some cool butterflies.

Got a new bicycle. She's beautiful & fast!

Hung out poolside at my aunt & uncle's place.

Got lots of practice rolling joints, because I forgot my pipe.

Can I live here, please? I could set up so much awesome aerial equipment in that barn..

Hung out on my mom's boat.

It was a glorious day. I swam away most of it.

Mermaid me. 

Awesome things: 1. I ordered myself some silks & they will be here very soon! I got them in this lovely shade of plum which will look fantastic in our loft. 2. My aerial classes are on Tuesday evening now, which means I can go to open practices over the weekend, which means a hell of a lot more training time (like 7 or 8 hours a week), which means I'm going to start making some serious progress.  3. Jim has weekends off now so we will have those days to spend together and do fun things. We already have lots of weekend trips planned. 4. I'm running again, which always makes me super happy & energetic. 


Blog things: In an effort to post more regularly, I've decided that I'm going to shoot & blog one roll of film per week. I'm going to use disposable cameras because they're so easy to carry around. I'm also debating changing my "Things I like" posts to more of a "Things that inspire Me" kind of thing. Any feedback on what you would like to see on my blog would be much appreciated, assuming anyone still  reads it, haha!

September I'll Remember

These are the rest of the photos I liked from the rolls I recently had processed. I have some good ideas in mind I'm going to try to find time to shoot tomorrow. I've been pretty busy (and sick!) this week so haven't gotten a chance to shoot like I would like to. 

I've been digging the rain today - working a little - listening to old White Stripes stuff. Aerials are going well, and I'm actually taking a class on the pole too. It's all a lot of fun - really satisfies my urge to climb things. Hopefully I'll have some photos of that soon.

Way Beyond the Sun

I just got three rolls of film processed from the time I spent visiting my Dad. These are the ones I like best from the first roll. I was lucky to grow up in a very beautiful place out in the middle of nowhere. There is a man-made lake right down the street where I go all the time because it's so nice. The road the house is on actually runs right into the lake, because they had to flood over it. It's all protected land and I see all sorts of neat birds (like the hawk in the photo above.) Tomorrow I'm going to class at the circus school and I'm really excited! The trains out there actually work out perfectly I shouldn't have to wait too long to come back. I've been going easy on my arms lately.. I'm a little worried that I'll feel weak/tired, but I needed the rest and hopefully it will be a good thing.

My love don't care about time.

Here are some glimpses of life lately: A walk in the woods, my dad's plants, Loretta lazing in the sun, bikes rides on the river trail, and lone visits to the art museum where I walk around for hours filling my eyes with beautiful old things. My favorite thing about the museum is that they have the largest collection of Marcel Duchamp's works on the planet. I've been in that room a million times and every time I go I want to stay for hours. The piece above is called The Bride Striped Bare by her Bachelors, and my favorite piece is, of course, Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas, which you view through two little peep holes in a dark room. Fantastic.
