a bird day at the park...

it was so hot yesterday so i suggested we get ice cream and go to the park.
"i'm melting!!!!"

swimmers. on your marks, get set..

i dunno why, but their feet intrigue me.

tee hee... they let me get so close to them.

this pigeon was so curious and kept following me around. when i finally tried to take a picture of it, it ran away in a hurry!

my worst nightmare come true.

sorry for the over-exposed pictures. i'm too lazy to go back and fix them. =)

madeleine's adventure

*yawn* "let's go somewhere"

"this is the life"

"ahhhh...."

"i'm so happy!"

"that was fun, can we do that again?"

"tomorrow? yeah, okay sure."

"i wish tomorrow came sooner..."

there and back again...

some of these pictures are a couple of months old... but oh well.

andrew and i took c to ca adventure a couple of months ago:

as you can see, he's REALLY happy to take a picture with his ONE AND ONLY (blood-related) aunt!

at first he was really hesitant to play in the water, but then he got really into it.

this was for liz's bday a couple of months ago. the lighting was weird, so i edited it weird too! =) p.s. where are we all looking?

for memorial day weekend, andrew and i went to the huntington library:

it was REALLY bright that day, hence the crazy shadows and lighting.

yes, i know you love my fake smile.

where does this lead to?

can you see albert einstein's signature?

i loved these pictures. i want a wall of these pictures in my house.

i really liked this light installation thing they had there, so i made andrew take a picture in front of it.

my turn!

here's what they really look like

cool lightbulbs

zee end.

a day at the park with mr. park

andrew and i went to the park today and i took my camera along...

i really wanted to get a picture of the tennis court. but i didn't know how to get in... thus, the chain link fence. =(

andrew got attacked by pinecones.

then we went to mars

and neptune

then i threw a tennis ball but that was after i acquired one albino leg and one tan leg...

then i jumped in the air, my eyes got chinky, and my hand got cut off.

then i took pictures of some breakers... (is that what you call them?)




then andrew started charging...

and flying...


and... ???

this picture makes me laugh.

oh no!!!

whew!


the end.

hello world!

it's been a really long time since i've updated but to be honest, i've been lazy.

but then i got an unexpected surprise (that's a bit redundant, no? aren't all surprises unexpected?)

anyway, there are two blogs that i love to read. one is pioneer woman and the other is color me katie. well...

in february i was happy (read: ecstatic!) to see one of my photos on pioneer woman's website for a contest she was having. it wasn't a great photo, and i didn't expect to win, but it was so cool to see a photo i took on her website.

then today as i was reading through color me katie... what do i see but a photo and link to the valentine's day craft i made for andrew! i had told her that she inspired me to make a craft of my own. so yay me! haha... =)

so anyway, i decided i needed to stop being lazy and put up a new post. but the problem is that i've been too lazy to take pictures of the things i've been doing. or... if i did take pictures of them, i've been too lazy to upload them and sort through them.

so instead, i'll just tell you what i've been up to and post some visuals after i pull myself out of this funk.

1. i've been really inspired by this chinese artist who makes stuffed animals out of socks! so, i've been sewing some sock stuffed animals and am currently working on a little sock doll girl.

2. another thing i've decided to do is start making hair pins for girls. it's super easy and a lot of fun, but i've been too chicken to put them on etsy (even though i made an etsy account) for fear that no one will buy them. *shrugs* we'll see what happens with that.

3. i've also been making things out of felt which has been really fun.

in the mean time, here are some old pictures i took but never posted:

i took this picture about a month ago while waiting for madeleine to do her business... i had just woken up not that long ago, and it was so nice outside...

andrew and i went to the lb aquarium for our belated 5th anniversary/valentine's day date. i normally hate birds, but these were so colorful and fun!

this bird looks strangely egyptian to me

"i am angry. leave me alone."

i love how the one on the left looks like it's whispering something to the other. haha

this is a rather old picture. it's from the first day i got my camera, actually. i like how the female duck looks like a ghost, haha.

okay that's all. i need to stop being such a lazy bum. any suggestions?
