this week

this week has been a slow week and it has been mostly lovely. the only bad because i've been totally slacking in the homework department. stupid homework. since it's blissfully cold outside (for mississippi, mind you) my dreams have been filled with sleepy mornings, mugs filled with strong lattes and rejuvenating walks. there are just over four weeks with a holiday in between; that's all that's left of this semester. thank goodness, we'll make it.

and on a totally random note, if i were twig, i'd be a twirly one. 

on the bridge

it was clear that he was tired, despite his purpose filled strides. he paused only for a moment, like so many other to gaze at the scenery around him. his dog, grateful for the break, waited, willing to follow his master to wherever he may lead.  

farther down, a couple sat tenderly next to each other. peaceful, still, and looking out over the water and watching the queen sparkle with in all her glory. 

close by sat a young man, so lost in his reading that he didn't seem to the environment; his faithful companion guarding their belongings.

and along, there was the man by my side. patiently waiting.

i must thank my hubby again for his patience with me as. i was telling a friend of mine about our walk and she said you're kinda the dog out of up. you'll be talking, walking along and then photo! picture! quick! 

fall break

originally, we had planned to spend my fall break in memphis. i'd been wanting to go there for a while, just for the sake of exploring the city. however, when my photo professor assigned a landscape project, memphis did not seem like the ideal place to go. so, after a few (or several) scattered moments, we packed our bags and were on our way to chattanooga. a huge thanks to our awesome friends the browns. i don't know of many people who are ok with people crashing at their home with less than 24 hours notice and who are also happy to be tour guides. you guys are the best.
