found in the snow

So I found these postcards (in plastic protective sleeves) in the snow on Monument Ave, a couple of snows back, and I thought they were too cool not to share. The one on the right, as you can see, has a postmark of 1911!

I love finding little treasures like this.

constant inspiration

I can not get over the experience of fall here in Virginia. Here are a couple more shots of our neighborhood. This first series was taken within a week of one another so you can see the end of the leaves is imminent... so I continue to soak it in while I can.

ZOMBIES!!!!!

Last Saturday the annual Zombie Walk took over Carytown here in Richmond. So basically people dress up like Zombies, and walk the streets, in a parade of such, stopping only for red lights, and the promise of brains.

At the end of the parade... they gather... and this one gave me a finger?

I love this place.
The Circuit City Zombies were my favorite... conceptually speaking.

With finger in tow, K and I headed to the galaxy dinner and feasted on fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, fried mozzarella sticks, french fries and beer. We ARE a pillar of health.
The Galaxy Dinner. btw, they have a meal called the "knock me up scotty" that includes fried pickles and ranch, a hard boiled egg and a scoop of ice cream... can anyone explain this?

reverie

–noun
1. a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing.
2. a daydream.
3. a fantastic, visionary, or impractical idea: reveries that will never come to fruition.
4. Music. an instrumental composition of a vague and dreamy character.

That is my word for the day, and now I will use it in a sentence:

Yesterday I was lost in reverie while walking, with the thoughts of how different clouds must have appeared 100... 500... 1,000 years ago. They had to be different, with a changing environment and ozone and earth temperatures... 

When I left the building after my workday, I was greeted by these guys. These have to be year 2009 clouds... they seem somehow, digitized.

Thank you iphone for helping me again document the sky.

  

confession/obsession
its that time of year when the fruit & veggies at the grocery store start looking and tasting awesome! My personal favorites so far, white peaches and red grapes.

I have a method for eating most things.  

With the grapes I really like to peel the skin off with my teeth, just half of the skin though, then I obsess over the beautiful paring of the contrasting colors; the red of the skin and the pale green of the fruit. when it has been sufficiently admired, I pop it in my mouth, and enjoy the texture of the peeled grape on my tongue.

Stay tuned, and maybe tomorrow i'll describe how I eat a peach, or better yet... ice cream. btw, written sarcasm is not my forte, I am much better at the tone-of-voice sarcasm which is not as clearly detected thru this medium.

a cloud appreciator I am...

if you are too... you'll LOVE this: cloud appreciation society

photos taken on my iphone around my work place, as I was wondering...

oh and also...my band, the Diamond Center, was interviewed by Break Thru Radio, and featured as the artist of the week this week! If you would like to know a little bit more about us you can read it HERE! There is one little inaccuracy at the very beginning... my name is not Brandi Harris... don't want to send anyone into a state of shock :)

... and while your at it, check this out, our website just got a facelift by our good buddies over at elemental blend!

who knows

I saw this while taking a walk a couple of days ago. I can't seem to figure out if the dumpster is taking in or releasing. who knows. maybe it had a st. patty's hang over?

not a cloud in the sky....

because the wind blew them all away.
