The Magpie Box

So being the horrible person I am, I left Corvus in a boarding kennel for his birthday while I was enjoying myself down in Georgia!  Actually, he's a dog and doesn't care about his birthday.  And I'm not one of those people that makes a big deal out of my dogs' birthdays.  BUT...I did a post for Barghest a while back so it's only fair to do one for Corvus. This will mostly be pictures-I take a lot of pictures of this dog.  A lot.  We've spent a lot of time together over the years, starting our treks to training when he was 9 weeks old.  Then training every day at home.  Going places around town and traveling together.  This dogs came from Texas, has driven to or through more states than many people and is an expert at staying in hotels.  He's super attached to me and I to him.  I don't know what I'll do when he's gone.  The last dog that I had this kind of bond with was my first husky.  Nyx and I are working on it and I thi...

I've realized that I've now been back from my trip for a week and have yet to post any kind of update.  So much for we're back, right?  I've taken the pictures off my camera but that's all the further I've gotten...there's still choosing the best ones, editing, etc.  What to do in the meantime?  Snapshots from the phone as a preview! So, the trip home.  It's always nice getting back home to Georgia and this time it was extra fun because I got to take someone who has never been.  Erika and I have been talking about going together for about a year and the timing was good to make it happen this spring.  We had a good time and my parents were thrilled to have us! The trip almost didn't happen-we left on Tuesday but Monday afternoon I started feeling horrible.  What the...?  I never get sick!  After a lot of rest I was good to fly Tuesday and by Wednesday I was completely fine.  Whew.  My parents, however, weren't so lucky....

After quite a long break and many life changes, I've decided that I need a regular creative outlet.  A distraction and excuse to get out and take pictures.  With spring coming and and a spring break trip to Atlanta and Savannah with my friend Erika, I figured this would be a great time to start.  I have a lot of pictures from the last year that I'll be editing and adding here with trips to Colorado, Bermuda, St. Louis, and Savannah under my belt.  Though these are tied to some tough memories in many ways, there are still some great images that I'd like to share.  Let's start with an old Savannah picture to commemorate my upcoming trip!  An unedited balcony view of the river as the sun is setting.  Can't wait to get down there and clear my head a bit, I hope!
