Live With Less

This blog is intended to be an outlet for all of my forms of communication. Take note that I am very rarely serious, almost always sarcastic, constantly surprised by my own stupidity, sporatically intelligent, and annoyingly attached to a book most of the time. And as of January 5th, 2009, I am participating Project365. Basically, I will take at least one picture a day for a year and post it with a little blurb. Feel free to join me in this quest, people!

Day 111


Art pics of the tulips that I bought from the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

Day 109 - Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival


My pal Lisa introduced me to the Woodburn Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. I've lived in Portland for a little over 6 years, and this is the first time that I have ever been. This is something that should never be missed! We had so much fun and took TONS of pictures! These are just some of the shots that I snapped ;)

Day 98


These are just a couple of shots I took while on my morning walk/jog.

Day 97


The blossoms are almost all gone now... bummer.

Day 95


Anyone know what type of tree this is? I love it.

Day 91


Magnolia blossoms.

Day 75


Spring is here... even with the fake butterflies and birds.

Day 67 - Photo Art



Even though the pictures of these flowers were pretty already, I decided to play around with the editing and see if I could make them "pop". And boy, am I glad I did! I'm totally digging these pictures!

Day 65 - Spring has come to Portland


It never ceases to amaze me after living in Portland for almost 7 years... how retarded the seasons are here! Seriously - I noticed that these flowers had bloomed during snow and freezing temps. So random, yet so Oregon. I love it!

Day 10 - Lots of pictures to share




  1. Blueberries... part of my nutritional morning breakfast. Sweet, tart, and full of antioxidants. Who could ask for a better way to kick off the day?
  2. This is a game wheel that is in my coworker's new cube. I have no clue what game it's been used for, but I love the whole existence of it!
  3. My building has a flower shop on the lower, outside level. Brilliant colors, sweet aromas, and numerous varieties - a great way to make me smile everyday.
  4. My friend Kim and I took an adventurous walk today out on the docks. It was the first time I had braved walking out onto the Willamette (literally) and hopefully not the last! The Dragon Boats were sitting there, posing pretty for us ;)
  5. I'm not sure if you all can see, but there is a Heron (or something similar) resting atop the boat in the front of the picture. I didn't have my 12x zoom Digital camera on me, but I definitely plan on bringing it with me the next time I travel down to the docks!

Day 6

So, I've been stuck at home all day cleaning and suffering from my dust allergies. Therefore, I have not been as creative with my picture of the day. But I have to admit, this pic of the dead tulips in my bedroom turned out pretty cool. I love the color.
