Mt. Evans Road

May 2010
On Memorial Day we drove up to the top of Mt. Evans. One of Colorado's 14ers. The road was slightly terrifying at parts, since it was really thin, and had a very steep drop-off. At the top, four fighter jets flew right over us. At first you just heard a huge noise and had no clue what it was. Turns out they were the fighter jets from the Bolder Boulder ceremony.

Oregon Tree

July 2007
A tree in the Oregon zen garden. I think it was the mix between gorgeous trees, and the bright light that made me love them so much.

Ida's Garden

August 2009
Auntie Ida's garden. I loved the beaded curtains, not only because I used to have the same ones when I was younger, but also because they were son unexpected in the English countryside.

I love how blue the water was in Talloires, and how the mountains are also slightly greeny-blue.

Annecy Lake Castle

This castle was opposite the lake from Talloires. On our 'Final Fete,' also known as a boat cruise across the lake, we went right by it.

Curbar Edge Sunset

Boston Symphony Orchestra

April 2010
The concert hall at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Marco and I both received a discount for being under 40-years-old. They played a few of Mozart's pieces. I took this with a disposable camera (the reason for the graininess) since my small digital is currently broken.
p.s. sorry for the delay on posts, it's finals week at the moment!
