Star Wars fruit snacks. Ate up R2D2 in a hurry.

H.33

Didn't expect to see this, but I was very glad to have a little bit of Harry Potter on my Scotland trip (and it's rather sad to only share 2 pictures of Edinburgh, and one of them isn't even about the city.)

m.34

Technically this is posted on the wrong day, but since I haven't gone to bed yet, it counts as today
(which is January 30th).

I got a shot before it was all gone. 

Can't wait to hear about Scotland.

ps. Any thoughts on the anonymous thing? Our lack of audience? Wondering if I can link us to my mrosephotography website

 (which is currently under a MAJOR overhaul)

H.34

Home :) I'll backpost tomorrow. Just me, or does this look a little bit tilt-shifty? I like it in it's original.

m.33

Fully intended on taking a picture of my piece of red velvet cake that the hubs insisted on

(even tho it's mere weeks away from his birthday)

because the cake also always reminds me of you.

But I accidentally ate it first.

So instead you get my jewelry stand.

m.32

Doesn't this remind you of the Hunger Games? Except, 

creepy clown version? Or is that just me because I finished the series today and I can't think of anything else?

H.32

Heading out to Scotland with the Americans in half an hour. I can't bring my computer with me, so no pictures until Sunday night. Also, I need to buy another memory card because mine only handles 83 fine quality pictures and I totally anticipate taking more pictures than that.

m.31

Didn't think I'd dig an elephant around my neck.

But dig this I do.

H.31

I know huh- A whole month down. This is insane. 

m.30

30 posts already?

Suh-weet.

Hubs is home - so I'm going to go snuggle with him (even though he's already been sleeping for

3 1/2 hours and will therefore wake up much earlier than me)

H.30

Back to wearing both rings.

H.29

m.29

Really, though, I'm a little afraid to step outside the house around here.

So I don't get out much. 

H.28

It's getting to be about time to break out the portable mouse... I've just been using my touchpad for all my editing and it's making me lazy/frustrated. I'm going to do a SBP about boys/other people for you soon :)

m.28

It's certainly ok - I will let you know when I find that darn vid camera and we shall Skype!

At least an SBP soon or something would be terrific :)

H.27

I literally took only 2 pictures yesterday, so I'm glad that they were workable (and especially not blurry). Thanks for the email itinerary- I'll write you back soon. I'm sorry we've not had time to really talk lately. I do want to talk to you though.

m.27

Sunday best.

Edited with Jubilee Action.

Had fun storming the castle today. <3

m.25

Liked your previous picture lots. The hubs flies tomorrow. If you get the chance, 

remember him in your prayers! Would love for us to get a place of our own soon :)

H.25

I don't think I was done with edits, but I didn't know what else to try.

P.s. I've never had a lion bar, and the flurry is kind of a strange conglomeration of the components, but not actually the crunched up bar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Bar

m.24

Yes. Another set of doors. Closet doors. And that's because it's another closet, another room, another home.

And still not ours. 

But it's comfortable. And I trust the food mo' betta. 

Too tired to edit. Looooong day of traveling. Only just took this picture 5 mins ago.

P.s. so what exactly is a Lion Bar then?

H.24

I asked "Do you have the normal flavors too, like Oreo, Butterfinger, M&M?" and they busted up laughing. "Normal? Our normal flavors are Smarties [it's different here], Dairy Milk, and Crunchy. Oreo? Bah."

m.23

I know I've done lots of doors and locks and stuff before, but I wanted to try

using textures like you suggested. It was really my first attempt at it, and I'm not sure what I think of it yet.

I think I just need to find more appealing textures and I will like it lots with certain shots. 

H.23

This was my afternoon. I'm struggling to make sure that I have pictures before dark (i.e. 4pm) because there's so much LESS to work with when I have no control over the light. But this was fun. Freezing, but fun. My toes are still tingly.

p.s. my class today (Cross-Cultural Ethics)? I'm dropping it. I took 7 pages of notes and still had no idea what was going on. There is just no way I can cover all the material they did last semester so I have the background to handle this semester. And it's not very "business-y". Searching for a new class is hard...

m.22

We went exploring today. The picture is of a macadamia nut tree farm (macnut).

We also hit up the southern most point of the United States.

p.s. eeee! you started classes!!!! 

H.22

Go on, ask me how my day was.

Oh it was fine, except for the cramps and the chocolate cravings. Don't worry, I'll be great in a few days.

p.s. we talked today about the Beatles in class and I realized I just wanted to remember every single thing my lecturer said. It was really interesting!

m.21

Doing some last minute sight-seeing before flying back to our home island.

Even Adam says Oahu feels more like home now. Whoofda. Thank goodness.
p.s. Re-uploaded the previous photo to its original size. That photo is unedited - you are getting the raw image (unlike today's photo, which has a blue filter on it for the dreary boring ocean :))

H.21

I was really excited because you could see the stars in this picture, but I'm not sure you can see them anymore because of the editing. This is Alexandra Square on campus, and that hideous gate to the right is evidence that they are tearing everything apart to renew it.

m.20

Yes, we are still in Hawaii!

I finally got my cold fix.

It was so wonderful. And so refreshing. It's such a natural feeling for me to just be C.O.L.D. sometimes. 

Like real cold.

Sure miss it.

H.20

Bassenthwaite Lake is the only actual "lake" in the Lake District. But we visited here today with the international office and it was beautiful. It was a spiritual experience for me just to remember that God makes some amazing things.

 My choice:

The hubs' choice:

Not too exciting today, so that's what you get from this picture. And then I left for the club. Yes, I wish I had a good picture to juxtapose but today was def a work hard in the day and play hard at night. *cough* almost 5 hours of dancing. yeesh.

A little vignette and some focal soften. We took a tour of Lancaster today. It's got a kind of dreary past as the 3rd or 4th largest slave trade port and also as the county seat of Lancashire it's the site of many hangings and other deaths inflicted to prisoners. The city is beautiful. I feel like it's cheating to take pictures of the buildings and call it my photography skills.

m.17

Guess who always got picked last for gym class?

m.16

Speaking of tchochke(s)....

in our studio apartment. But not for long! We fly back to Oahu on the 20th. 

SO glad you have net access; I need more England updates :)

H.16

Played Snookers today with a group of guys from church. It's a lot like Pool except there are different colored balls and points and the table is GIGANTIC. This makes it a lot harder, and the game goes longer when people aren't very good.

The edit here is a vintage and some exposure fix because the overhead lights really screw up these pictures.

P.s. I've finally caught up! Wooo!

H.15

1.13.2011 This is the County Round Building (or something like that). The lights change color. It's in between my room and that guy's room where I was supposed to go for a party but he didn't ever answer my text back so I just went to bed (Check the SBP if you haven't). But I got a good picture out of the experience!

H.14

01.10.2011- This was the view right off of the train station in Lancaster. It was a dreary day and I was tired from staying up late the night before having a really fulfilling conversation with my roommate, but the excitement was still thick.

H.13

1.09.20110- This is Parliament. Big Ben is off to the right just a little ways. We were walking over the bridge to the London Eye just as the sun was setting (at about 1630. So early!) and the view was spectacular.

m.15

This was taken out of a 35 mph traveling vehicle, last shot of the day, only one chance to get it 

and I got it. Love this because it's what we are going to call our puppy! Eeeeee!!

In Hawaiian it means, the sound, the voice, or (my favorite)

"the one who is called"
p.s. It's pronounced Kuh-lay-o

m.14

Because I can't pretend that I didn't spend my whole morning reading in bed.
And don't you find it at least slightly freaky that I finished reading
Looking for Alaska 
on January 10?
Because I certainly do.

m.13

Our neighbor has his own mini botanical garden - he's about 78 years old and his name is Charles and has been working on this garden for the past 9 years. Its seriously amazing. And then when you are walking around in it 

and you see him, he just jumps (slowly makes his way) at the chance to give you the "taste and smell" tour. He is 

amazingly knowledgeable. It's quite fascinating. I love it there. Hence, the loads of Garden pictures. 

m.12

We are just a bunch of sickies today. All this mold, mildew, and piss-poor attitude is catching up to me, I see. What a pleasure to see your recent posts, though. Glad it's been wonderful :)

1.08.2011-The incredibly small hotel room that me and a girl who is studying at Oxford share. It's a mess. I've repacked things, but I tell you what- I'm over living in a hotel room. I'm ready to be on campus and in my dorm and unpack and buy groceries. But London has been sooo much fun.

Also, as a note, I apologize for not getting pictures up on that right date. I didn't foresee that I was going to have to pay $9.50 every hour of wireless internet time. I get on campus on Monday, so hopefully I should be a little more stable then.

H.11

01.07.2011- This adorable little French tchochke shop- it's got the weirdest/cute stuff, but it's also really cool. It' a chain, but this particular shop is in Covent Garden, close to the hotel I'm staying at.
