fuck off, bank

After years of being abused and dissatisfied, I finally broke up with my bank. I said "I don't need you, jerk!" and am now a free woman.

desire

Reason only satisfies my rational needs.

Desire is life itself.

wtf walk

I spotted a trailhead recently, one that looked not unlike this one:

very innocuous, so I thought.

Well yesterday I wanted to go on a nice stroll in the woods with my dear friend luke. Thought we might get some fresh air, maybe find some wood sorrel to munch on... then go home after about an hour. Somehow this turned into the most intense hike I'd been on in years. It's a very long story. I'll let you know though, that it involved thousands of wild blueberries growing side-by-side with poisonous buckthorn which looks almost exactly the same, and probably the most impressive view I've ever seen in connecticut, and lots of soft moss under my bare feet which by the way is the best non-sexual feeling ever.

watching hawks, on huge cliff ^

big pond covered in algae ^

oh yeah and we got really really lost, didn't see any other people on the trails, ended up on the street in the city somewhere, about a five-mile walk from where we started, about four hours later.

chase

baby, wow

chipmunk

let's get back

meadow + swamp = la petite mort

not sure if you can tell from the picture, but a meadow and a swamp recently decided to join hands and overtake a certain old factory in fair haven.



somehow this seems like, really hot to me. obviously I have been spending too much time indoors.

We found a secret aviary,




a wondrous hill,



and a hobbit house.
