2011 in Photos

My photographic year in review. Always difficult picking just one image to represent each month. We had an eventful 2011 but it seems it went by so fast, that I almost can’t remember anything we did. I know in the end, it was full of fun, adventure, love, music, passion, a few bruises, snuggles, kisses, and life… life lived as full as possible.

you hide yourself behind the wall

I’ve been silent on this blog for months now. I’m not entirely sure why. I’ve been busy of course. I always feel so busy but it’s really an excuse. I think I’m not sure what I want this blog to be anymore.

2010 in Photos

Hard to believe the first month of 2011 is almost half way over. I’ve been wanting to do this before but only now getting a chance. Here are 12 photos posted to flickr taken each month of 2010. A glossy photographic year in review… super difficult picking just photo from each month. In looking back, I realized how much we truly did our best to life to the fullest. I hope we can keep on doing even more of that in 2011.

Clear winter days

introducing…


Last week we hiked over 45 miles in the canyon lands of Southern Utah. It was an amazing adventure and there’s so many photos, videos, and memories to sort through.

But first, we picked up Baxter who didn’t make the trip with us. We missed the little bugger so much. Then we had to unpack, wash, and clean our gear and clothes. Catch up on emails, TV, and drama. And go see “Robin Hood”, which we loved. (Being that I’m a big geek about Medieval Europe history and art, this movie and “The Secret of Kells” were tailor MADE for me… SO WELL DONE!)

And, yes… also time to start a new blog. Introducing PuppyHiker.com. Ridiculous. I know.

you’re beautiful

“Out of ugly, I think the most important thing in life is to make something beautiful.” -Johnny Weir

I so adore this man even more than before the Olympics started. He skated two beautiful programs last week. The judges should be ashamed for the scores they gave him. The announcers on TV around the world who made idiotic comments should be even more ashamed. But Johnny holds his head up high and stays true to himself.

You make things beautiful Johnny!

2009 Year in Review

A little late but here goes.

Go to your Archives/Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2009. Post the first few lines of it in your journal, and that’s your “Year In Review.”

January: This video makes me cry. For all sorts of reasons, mostly happy ones.

February: It’s almost the weekend. And it’s pouring rain outside. I love the rain. Even if it makes LA drivers ridiculous and stupid.

March: The T in the Park line up this year kills me. JAMES, Keane, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, BLUR… If only DD were added, then I think I’d explode.

April: Dang, this guy is catchy (and cute to boot)!

May: Ash has released their new single Return of White Rabbit online for download. It’s fun, catchy, and very infectious.

June: A peek into the world of AFOLs.

July: Duran Duran Tour ‘09 is sadly over for me… I attended two shows. One in Vegas on July 10 and the other in the OC on July 11.

August: I miss the wine in France.

September: 30 miles away, this was the view from my neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

November: Still posting photos from France. Loire Valley all done. 6 more days left and Paris will be complete.

Hope 2010 is treating you well so far!

attack of the cute!

Yes, I do have the cutest puppy on the planet.

No, I’m not biased.
