Day 17

Driving home today, I caught sight of these beautiful clouds and the sunset in a clearing near my house. When I got to the house, I grabbed the camera and walked along the road to the clearing to take this shot.
Driving home, my dad saw me standing on he side of the road and gave me a lift back home. :)

Tomorrow I'm going to Boston to the MFA, and I'm sure there will be many beautiful things to take pictures of there!

Day 16

Here is a shot of my mandolin. If you look closely in the background, you can see my pillow with the Periodic Table of the Elements written on it...

I like the way this came out with the honey tones...

Day 15

More food! Here is a selection of my homemade (maybe not so beautiful, but definitely yummy!) cakepops ;)
I went to a class on making these at my library, and it's super fun and easy! Here is the book with directions and such: http://www.amazon.com/Cake-Pops-Tricks-Recipes-Irresistible/dp/0811876373/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297992321&sr=1-1

Right now I'm listening to Phoenix... <3

Day 14

Valentine's Day!! My mom made this lovely chocolate ganache cake, and yes, it tasted as good as it looks!!!

Look at the beautiful chocolate, still warm and oh so yummy! Anything chocolate is complimented by strawberries.

Day 13

Today in church we talked about how we should always stand on the side of love, and accept people for who they are. It was a really cool sermon. :)
Anyway, on the walkway into church there is this pretty tree that was blooming! It's sort of hard to see in this picture, but the blooming parts looked like pussy willows!

I don't actually know if it was a pussy willow tree, or if pussy willows can even grow as trees; I will have to look it up...

Day 12

Here is a bit of color to brighten your day! This is a shot of our rainbowous thread rack. In the background you can see an old map of Maine; it covers half of that wall...

Day 11

It has just been so cold the past few days! Today I went to Five Fields to ski and I took this shot of some maple blossoms. You can see the orchard in the background.

The promise of new life is truly beautiful.  The buds of a maple above the orchard.

Days 9 & 10

Well, my camera hates me, so I couldn't upload a picture yesterday. I'm using a different camera today so I'm hoping that this will make up for it.  :)
My brother had a ski meet today and it was sunny but so cold! Maybe I can get through this day by being sentimental...

Friendship is a beautiful thing! This is a shot of my little bro and I at his ski race!

And the sunset on the way home! The sun let off this soft glow that looked really pretty.

Day 8

I woke up this morning and looked out the kitchen window to see the trees surrounding my house
covered in a layer of snow.

It was a very beautiful effect, and it made the trees look very elegant.

Day 7

Here is my picture for today. I took this while my brother was skiing at Five Fields Farm.

A view over orchards.
