In my perfect world…

…I would live on a street where all of my best friends lived in the houses around me…

…and we would get to do all of this…

… all of the time.

But until my wish comes true…

…I am so grateful for airplanes that bring me to my favorite people who live too far away…


…And guess I’ll settle for a perfect vacation instead.

Thank you Nici, Andy, Margot, Ruby, Alice, Olive and my favorite black cat, Sam. We had an amazing adventure and we can not wait to do it again soon.

A Chicken Named Paige…

Ok, I am getting a little repetitive here… more photos of my beautiful pregnant best friend, Nici.

But I can’t help it. I caught a spark while I was visiting Nici in Montana and I couldn’t stop taking photos. Maybe it was that their house is full of amazing inspiring art, maybe it was that they are both amazing and inspiring artists, maybe Montana is an amazing and inspiring state… or maybe I was just in love with it all and wanted to absorb every inspiring moment. Whatever the reason, my Rolleiflex just knew it was an important trip for me and therefore it was on its best behavior.

And I love almost every photo my Rollei took… but I especially love Nici with her chickens. And I especially especially love Nici with her chicken named Paige (I tried to catch Lindsay, but she was not having any of it, so we used her stunt double.)

Nici and Andy…

I know I said I would just post one a day, for my Rollei Advent Calender, but I can’t do it. It is a struggle to only put up two. And really, I had to put two, because Andy is upset that he isn’t in more of the photos from my previous Montana blog posts… so Andy, this one’s for you.

What I have Learned Lately…

(This post contains photos of a skinned elk and may not be enjoyable for everyone.)

Life is entirely too short…

Death means life…

Life means death…

Because others die, we get to live.

When we are young we can’t wait to be old…

When we are old we wish we were young…

Rarely are we content in the moment.

Every moment is part of the story…

Relationships are the most important part of the story.

If we make time for the relationships we love… in the end we will have a better story.
