I chose this image because it's part of an exhibition on musical insturments from Oceania and the ukulele reminds me of Hawaii. Going to Hawaii was one of my favorite vacations.

I chose this image because I like that it reminds me of a snap shot. Also, I like the reflection of the other cars in the rearview mirror.

I chose this mainly because of the octopus...they freak me out. I'm afraid I'll be the little person being captured by the octopus.

 

 

Roxy (9/13/10)

 

I chose this photograph because I think it's funny that my dog's tongue hangs out of her mouth all the time...it's because she has a really bad under bite. Also, because I think she's super cute.

 

Moab, Utah (Sometime in May)

I chose this picture because it was my favorite food discovery this summer. It was awesome because they made gluten free muffins so my BF could eat there too!!

Powdered sugar attack! (At a Rockies game)

I chose this picture because it makes me laugh. I was at a Rockies game and it was windy...but I wanted a funnel cake...and the powdered sugar blew all over the guys in front of me. The best part...they had no idea!
