Down to the Tracks.

Helloooo!

This going to tracks business is kinda addicting. It is definitely one of my new favorite adventures. And this is my favorite set so far. The red dress+blue sky combo is killer. I love it. I also love my jumping face. It is pretty awesome.

Looking forward, I am anxious for the season to change and the trees to go crazy! I live in the sticky South and it will be a hot minute before the temperature hits tolerable and the leaves make the great fireworks. & I can't wait!!

I am kinda obsessed with these paint by numbers. The colors were perfect. I have been on a search for a paint by number for myself. Not kittens and such, but good solid ones similar to these. Enjoy!




and a cute little bread box for good measure....

Down to the Tracks.

intense concentration

Jumping is not my forte. Or maybe I should give it the benefit of the doubt, and just say I am unpracticed. Either way, the picture in my head of how this would turn out and how they actually turned out....well, you the story. My biggest hang up was timing my jump with the beep of the self timer. Obviously, I was off. Ha. Enjoy my friends!

Pretty Pollution.

Hello Monday!

What does this Pretty Pollution say about me? I am sure the internets can draw its on conclusion. My theory is I am a tiny bit of a....

Pollution is everywhere. Lets make less of it.

That little leaf in there does make me smile.

Happy Monday!

Pretty Pollution.

Good Morning! Monday. Morning.

Here's to a gentle Monday.

I found these bottle caps in a driveway while riding my bike this weekend. I had to stop & check it out. I wonder if the home owners did this on purpose, or how in the world all of these bottle caps here. There was a large grouping of them in a dirt driveway. I wonder if they are supposed to be in place of gravel. I was intrigued. I am sure there is a good story behind it. I am calling it pretty pollution. Enjoy!

Adventures with my Bestie & Twin.

Meet my Bestie & my Twin! Melissa & Christian. Once upon a time, we all three worked at Cracker Barrel. Haha, true story. At one point, we all had black hair together. We are conquers of the random walking adventure. Melissa & I live almost in the same time. Christian lives about two hours away now. The good news is that Christian's boyfriend lives near Melissa and I for college. That means more visits from our fellow. On Wednesday, the stars aligned and we were all able to adventure together. We went to Mexican restaurant and ate way too much food. Then played in Auburn. Checked out some cute stores downtown, sat with one of Christian's friends that we ran into while they ate, went to a local health food store, sat in the parking lot taking photos in front of an amazing green fence, walked around the cemetery & the Episcopal church, met up with his boyfriend, & then supported Christian while he got his septum pierced. It was such a good day! Like I said the stars aligned.

Christian's boyfriend, Stefan is such a character. He makes us smile. We were waiting for him to get out of class & we had walked to a convenience store and here comes a fellow strolling down the street in a a maroon sports coat, leather pants, and a cute leather bag. He had this huge ring. Love it.

Anywho. We had a great day. I picked up acorns. Acorns are falling my friends!! ♥

& that Bestie, she is attached to her phone. And she's my very best friend. Hands down.

Christian is going to Japan this week. He is looking into teaching English there. It's amazing. If he goes to teach, I will go to visit. What a dream. I love him & bestie! Enjoy the photos (all courtesy of the Iphone.) & that green striped fence, it's perfect for an impromptu parking lot photo shoot! ♥

Down to the Tracks.

Hello Blogfriends! I have another dose of Down to the Tracks to share with you. I think I like this go round better than the first. The sky is perfect blue. Completely dreamy. It has been raining since Sunday. I am ready to go out and play on tracks now that the temperature has hit the 60's. Adios August and your 100+ degree days. Bring on it Autumn. I am wholeheartedly ready for the magic to begin.

& this would be my concentrating face. ha.

Enjoy.

Tuesday Treasures.

Hello Blogfriends!

Tuesday again.

I have a trio of random goodies today.

Sweet piano roll boxes.

Pretty little boxes.

I had too.

I love Yorkies.

What a glamorous model pup.

I am pretty sure this shows Canada & France right next to each other.

Crazy explorers!

Down to the Tracks.

I have a new escape. Any time I have a few extra minutes, namely at the golden hour, I head down the hill from my neighborhood and play on the train tracks with my camera. The tracks are less than a half of mile away, perfect for a little bike ride or quick sneak out of the house. It is my mini adventure.

By no means am I not interested in being a fashion blogger. That is not my style. 85% of my clothes are from Old Navy or Target & 10% of the remaining are work shirts. I have worn the same purple shorts all summer. I am into comfort. I would never rub a blister on my foot in the name of fashion. I wear my Toms with everything. I have included them into business casual. No offense to anyone who fashion blogs. I love to look at your at well styled posts. I like to admire the more stylish. Maybe I will travel down that road when I grow up. Now that I have made my claim, I have turned my trips to the tracks more of a self portrait challenge and a photo adventure. I am awkward at this. I took someone down to the tracks with me & I could not do it. I blushed. I was focused on someone watching me. It was not pleasurable. I could not just skip & play & act like a child & focus on the self timer beep. I am good at doing things on my own. I fly solo. I am not one of those people who includes everybody in whatever I am doing. That is not my gift. I am super good at hopping on my bike on a whim and zooming down the hill to play until the sun goes down. It is a tiny race to see what I can capture before the light starts dimming and I have to ride back up. I look forward to capturing the change of season. As the weather changes and the work day's end comes closer to the golden hour, the race will be closer. I am up for it. I am up for a weekly Railroad feature. I also have another railroad spot in walking distance to my work. As the weather cools (below 100+), I will scope it out. I also plan to resurrect LunchBreakWalks. Look out for more Railroad adventures.
