Happy tree

This is the tree outside of my balcony. There aren't many trees around here, so it makes me happy when it's nice and green. Hence, happy tree.

Happy Easter!

How great that today is the perfect spring day. Picked these today from right outside my door:

Bun Pun (apologies in advance)

Made this sketch a few weeks ago, but just decided to give it an Easter twist in PhotoHop today. Awful, awful pun....cute sketch?

Sunflowers > Tumbleweeds

Today was the first day it felt like winter was right around the corner, and it was a tumble-weed-a-tumblin' kind of day here in West Texas. Coincidentally, I ran across this photo I snapped on my way to the beach back in July. Ahhh, I feel the warm sunshine and fresh (dust free!) breeze just looking at this.

One last thought: If Plants vs. Zombies were real life, I'd head straight to the town where I took this. Beautiful seas of sunflowers every couple of miles!

Don't Touch: Space-time Continuum

Wow. I've been crazy busy. Perhaps the Back to the Future DeLorean that was at the ExactTarget Connections 2012 conference could have proved useful, but I'm far too wary of abusing the space-time continuum for personal gain. Just doesn't seem right. Oh, well. Expecting time travel out of a business conference might be too high of an expectation, but I did get some pretty useful digital marketing and social media insights out of it.

The Real Deal: Red Dirt

I see all these trendy fashion blogs posting photoshopped images to look "vintage" and to have "grunge." And for a bit I'm tempted to buy into the nostalgia of it all. Then a day like this comes along, and I laugh at the thought of models posing in anything remotely close to this. No warmth or texture added in photoshop. Just pure, red dirt, baby!

Also, notice my wind chime is taped together...

Carnies and Bunnies

Went to the Panhandle Plains Fair today! AKA the Bunny Fair, since I pretty much just go to see the room full of rabbits since I'm not big into foods on a stick, and just the smell of funnel cake is enough to make me feel sick. But I DO love bunnies. Also, I can now say I've officially been swindled by a carney. Given, I was aware of what I was getting myself into when I stepped up to the game booth, I'm just not the kind of person to object over the details a game of darts or ring toss, so maybe it doesn't count. Oh well, I won a prize and saw hundreds of bunnies. 'Twas an indubitably good day.
