My Neighborhood

This afternoon I "borrowed" my dear father's camera and snapped some shots of my neighborhood.

Spinning and taking pictures.

Crunchy red leaves on the ground, already?


The gorgeous sunset


The huge lavender bushes in my front yard

... and I lived (and still live) up this one.

I love where I live. I love the rain, the overcast sky, the evergreens, the crisp smell of out doors. Short beautiful days and long starry nights. I love my community and the people that are a part of it. I love all the blue recycling bins that magically appear every Friday morning. I love the smell of hot coffee in the classroom every morning. I love beating the sun to school. Growing the small little garden in the postage stamp backyard. I love rain puddles and being able to safely jump into them. I love Colombia. I love being warm and snugly inside while it pours outside. Making slushmans in the street. The Seattle Macy's Thanksgiving/Christmas parade. I love moss and ferns and the busy streets of Seattle. I love how looking at the nature in the Pacific Northwest is like a refreshing drink for your eyes.
I love my life.
