“so… there’s this wall i’d like to take photos with…”

Since probably the first day we drove around looking for apartments, I have been wanting to take a picture with this green wall with white dandelions. Something about it screams "Walk over and awkwardly balance your camera on an uneven curb." Last night, after happy hour to celebrate Paul's end of rotation and my workshop launch (thank you, thank you, btw), I convinced Paul we needed to take a few photos with the wall.

And by a few, I mean a lot. And by a lot I mean, next time I am bringing a tripod.

    Love the wall, love the photos with you guys near the wall…… I can see why you wanted to get some pics. I’ve enrolled in your workshop (whooo hoo) all the way from Australia. Can’t wait.

    Love this! Your husband seems a lot more patient about getting his picture taken in front of cool things than mine does!
    If you’re ever in Asheville, NC, you have to get some photos in front of this wall:

    Think this is so great and those photos
    are great and capture the spontaity of it.
    Think I might do this to an outside wall
    of the house.
    Thanks for all your inspiration you provide in
    your blog.
