365-Day Project: May 8-12
I’m at the final stretch of being busy. After this week, we’re off to San Francisco for a few days. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to bring my laptop with me and update my blog while I’m there or just upload when I’m done. I also might need the computer to clear off my camera cards if I take too many photos.
In the last few weeks, I’ve really noticed that the desert can be absolutely beautiful in the springtime. One of the reasons I think that the desert is so beautiful right now is that it simply comes to life. Flowers burst out from the barren desert, a splash of color against the drab brown of the dirt. As a sign in my mom’s garden says, “Flowers are the earth laughing.”
Desert flowers are also very exotic looking. Perhaps it’s because they have to survive on much less water than a lot of other plants need.
I know I've taken a photo of these flowers before, but it intrigues me. I went back with my actual camera, (the last one was taken with my iPhone) and took a closer photo. May 8.
Not the most interesting photo, but I wanted to get a photo of our new Prius on May 9. I didn't think we'd actually end up with a Prius, but we gave it a test drive and absolutely loved it.
My friend Christine wanted me to take some photos of her for a job she's applying for. Here she is outside of Gorman High School on May 10. I was hoping to get a photo of my mom for Mother's Day, but she doesn't let me take her photo.
The flashlight at UNLV. I got to rehearsal a little early on May 11 and was able to take some photos. My friend Andrew didn't even know this was a flashlight. And, yes, it was, in fact, supposed to be facing up at first. I read that in a book I have about UNLV. Little known fact you won't find in the book: it has great acoustics. I have stood in the ridges and sung with fellow choir members, and it sounds absolutely wonderful. The sound just rings in your head.
