Update: I think I'm going to stop putting cheesy little captions under my photos. To be frank, I don't like doing it, and I would rather have the viewer take away something from photos other than a pre-destined perspective by reading a few words written beneath it.. capiche? Bon. Good.

She's not sure where she'll go, or exactly what she'll do
A day to celebrate
Just because...

It's a ladybug

I've discovered something new
Absolute Beauty
I hope you know what joy feels like.
The weekend's over
Eloquently spoken
Brisk Mornings
Sun Kissed

I had a dream that I could fly from the highest swing

Joy is not in things, it is in us


Don't worry. Be happy

Beauty is God's handwriting. Children, reach out your hands. Sinners, reach out your hands

Just waiting 'till the shine wears off

Enjoy Life

You don't have to be alone

Bumble Bee

Delicious Jam

You wait a lifetime to be found
We live in a beautiful world
As if there's something you want to say
Patience is a virtue

There is no cure for curiosity

Grandma's garden is full of color

It really is written on the ceiling!
Will you dance?

It's a boy thing...

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero

Only the lonely know

Good Morning Sunshine

When words fail, the guitar speaks

It's love.

When skies are blue, play outside

Snow is...divine

For some reason I can't explain

Makes you want to reach out and eat one!

Superbowl weekend

Come Alive.

Open it?
Once upon a time...

Serve others with a joyful heart

Downtown Seattle

No hand hugging the fruit

Let's make it a day to remember

Live life to the fullest, never back out.

Costa Rica, 2008

Would you like to make a call?

Looking at Earth from outer space

I walked a minute in your shoes, I figured they never would've fit

Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder

Come fly with me

Dare to be Remarkable

Oh such grace, oh such beauty

If you can't talk, just cry

Think and wonder. Wonder and think.

God put a smile upon your face

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Soapy water

Illuminated by a flash

It's a giant
Leavenworth, Washington

Fly away

If you only have one smile, give it to someone who needs it the most

Oh such sisters
The other side...

Sometimes it's nice to see the world at a different angle.
Are you taking life for granted?
Dreams that always could be

Cloudy evenings

Coke- it's the real thing
Don't let the chains hold you back
Only a matter of time
Amazing how life turns out the way it does
Morning Coffee
Lift me up through the darkest cloud

What is that big bug doing in the sky?

Background Seattle

Just for now, leave all your hopelessness aside

Make every door you walk through a work of art

Where you sit and contemplate your day

Sit back, matter of fact

It's the end of the world as we know it

They try to fill my head with questions

The canvas

Union Pacific Railway

If it takes time, then I'll be patient

Looking to the sky, I will sing

We are who we were when

You can say goodbye to the days of old

It was a long and dark December
She Believes

Les yeux sont grande

There must be something more
Tall monsters

What millions of humans consume every day

Push it to the sky

Just for a moment

Hello, World, hope you're listening - forgive me for being so young

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark

Sick and twisted, twisted and unstructured

You leave me breathless

It's complicated, triangulated, and overrated anyway

World's Greatest Coffee

Clearly, I, am a passer by

My art project!

Life is miraculous, even when it's disastrous, it's still incredible

Raindrops on a beautiful day

Absolutely not

Closing walls and ticking clocks

. . . 1 2 3 4 . . .

We're all the same

Staring out windows

It will wash hearts away

Love burns brighter than sunshine

Silence is pounding

Making our way back from Mars
He left behind what we have yet to find

Life's a second chance

You are welcome here

Freedom comes naturally

Better just to hide it

Corrie Ten Boom's house in Harlem, Holland

Don't soon forget

What if there was no light? Nothing warm, nothing bright?

It's that time of year

Setting Stone

All I need is the air I breathe

Your the next big thing

There's never a wish better than this, when you've only got 100 years to live

I hope you do believe me

So tired trying to fight it

Bum de bum
Lost 'till your found, swim 'till you drown, strong 'till you brake

Happy cheese comes from happy cows, why does this cow not look happy?

The courage that seized the lion absent

Bravery

I want to live inspired

The sun still shines because we can feel it

That's for the birds

Hotel de Ville

St. Marie Eglise, France

If ever your world starts crashing down, that's where you'll find me

Wave goodbye, wish me well

The world knows little about it's greatest heros

Step out the door and it feels like rain

Justice

So don't stop

Back in the same place, you've been here before

I cry out with no reply

Living in perfect symmetry

There you go

This year shall pass, but we know it'll be back

Some idealistic future

I was thinking; over thinking. I think too much.

So hard to see it all clearly

I bet he'd wonder the same

Take deep breaths, count to 10, nod your head

Oh the places you'll go

Now listen to history

Courtyard

Such a deep reassurance
Where did you read my story?

Waltzing in air

With no direction but home

15 for a moment, caught in between 10 and 20

Laughter took the place of everything we knew

Just get it some space

We only get one shot, at one life

yes.no.

Something Fresh

Something Blue

Camera shy or just sleepy?
You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart

Just Smile

Sheltered Simplicity

The act of love can get us so far

The Prayer of a Child

This is Perpetual Bliss

life

Makes me wonder
50 cents never tasted so good

Ocean days

Up on this hill, in this uncanny house

Please tell me why it's so hard for American's to ignore the people who need love the most
