Lemonade

When life gives you lemons, sometimes it also throws in a handsome man to hold your hand. This boy is all fresh air and camping and jokes.

TGIF y'all.

Another Country

I have a tendency to overdo it with the scapes but I'm down to one wide angle lens and MY GOODNESS COLORADO IS BIG. I went on a Rocky Mountain tour over the weekend and couldn't get enough of the mesas, snowy peaks, aspen groves, and icy, rushing rivers.There were even a couple hikes that almost exploded my lungs. Colorado is mighty.

Shake Down

I'm back. It's been a big eight months. It's funny how things are chugging along and then BAM EVERYTHING CHANGES. It's humbling and wonderful and terrible and immense. Next week I turn 28 and leave behind a year that shook me down hard.

My mom and I went on a road trip last week and passed through the Painted Desert. The scapes stole my breath away.

I'm sorry for the absence. Much more soon.

Elise

Elise is my VERY HILARIOUS friend and something of a fixture on Halcyon Yeah. Here, here, and here for example.

Her new blog is called Alt-Agora. She has this great old Leica and her writing is funny. She's about to move to Los Angeles with her brad-pitt-look-alike-husband Tim. So that should be fun to watch.

Sunrise

The last week has been a blur. I'm moving out of my house and into a SUITCASE. It's a BIG WORK WEEK too. I've been falling into bed without dinner at 10! And I LOVE dinner!

These photos are from a dawn shoot on Kiawah last week. How about that sun, eh? It's like the Serengeti. And it really looked that orange when it was happening. I kept hearing that opening track of the Lion King. Because I'm a grown-up-child.

Evening

I had forgotten about grassy evening activities. The crickets come out, the sun is going down and it smells like cut grass. These boys played soccer and I read a book and took SO MANY PICTURES OF TUTTI. How cute is she with her little tutti tongue poking out!

Rooftop

Charleston is flirting with hurricane Isaac and has been halfway underwater for the last couple days. This morning I got up REALLY EARLY and went over to Ben's to drink coffee on the roof and watch the sky. I like when the city is dripping like this. It smells like a lake and makes for good deep sleep.
