Playground

The flowers are out everywhere and I’m not the only one out enjoying their beauty. This little guy was navigating the yellow bits to get to the nice sweet insides.

 

The light outside was perfect, allowing me to get pretty awesome detail.

Shiny…bug…eyes…..

Hanging

Hey, remember that old lifehouse song? I’m hanging by a moment here with you 

Does it make you feel old if I tell you that song is ten years old.  Yeah. It’ll be playing on the oldies station soon and I will have to start practicing my “get off my lawn” speech for the neighborhood kids when that happens.

Pink

Sometimes I wonder if I should have gotten a little into botany, considering how much I love photographing plants and can’t seem to name a single one.   For now, I’ll just use their colors to title them.

Lana Del Rey is playing in the background. I love her voice. It’s so sultry. I sense another music post coming on.

The Wanted

I’m in love with a boy band. I feel like this is not okay because I am not sixteen anymore.  Of course, I never loved boy bands when I was sixteen so maybe I’m just a late bloomer when it comes to these things. Like twilight moms? Oh god, lets not go there.

Ever since they topped a chart on Spotify and I had the fortune to click on their song, I’ve really dug this blended  British and Irish band. Their most famous song, “Glad you came” is topping charts in the United States but their other songs are pretty fantastic too. Also note my surprise when I found one of the members is Siva Kaneswaran, a biracial blend of Irish and Sri Lankan Tamil.  I expect all my future half white half desi children to achieve this level of success.

I may also give them crazy indian names to make sure they stand out like Siva and like that guy on the Photoshop start screen.  Seetharaman Narayanan is a name I have etched into my brain ever since Photoshop 7.

I will name my future child Amritasudan Sanjushree Kshanaprabha Stone.   It means Beautiful Lightning Destroyer of Enemies.  NOBODY WILL FORGET HER.

Okay.. I was talking about music.

You know how there are some songs you like instantly and some songs that grow on you after a few plays? It seems that songs I like immediately all have a Alex Gaudino remix. I knew Alex and I had something in common apart from my love affair with his reverb treatments.

Check out The Wanted’s two best singles:

I’m Glad You Came – SpotifyYoutube

Ring

You might say I like my engagement ring.

I would back you up on that claim.

It’s a secret how many photos I have taken of it since I had it slipped on my finger.. but suffice to say you’d find me very vain if you knew. :]
Well, J should be proud anyway. It still makes me smile when its glint catches my eye.

Flowers

I arranged this set of flowers yesterday, as a way to relax.

I’m not built for wedding planning.  I’ll have more peace when this is all over and forgotten.
