what you do when you're really supposed to be working

so i have a major grant proposal due tomorrow. a potentially life altering grant.

due tomorrow.

but look at what i'm doing instead

so i'm sure many of you might be slightly aware, most likely through your own keen observation skills, that i LOVE blue.

LOVE IT. favoritest color ever.

but i've found lately that i'm being drawn to the rich red fall colors that are popping up around here.

at the farm the leaves are turning color

i just loved the high contrast between the deep red and the green grass

i expected hobbits to come out and greet me =)

i haven't had a pomegranate since i was a little kid and so when i was the store with my best friend i grabbed one up. and when i busted it open i was just so enthralled with its color. just so beautiful and for some reason deeply sensual.
i love the deep red color but then also the slight transluscence of the fruit. you could never create a paint or a color that could duplicate it. you could probably go to home depot and buy something striking called pomegranate but it wouldn't have the richness, the depth, the jewel-like beauty of the fruit.




i wasn't going to post this one because when i pulled it up in photoshop the foreground was blurry but then i was struck by the background. i actually took these on top of my car and i was so focused on the pomegranate that i wasn't paying attention to background. but when i saw it i liked it alot. it looks surreal to me.

last week i heard my sister and gran pull the car into the garage and get out. and then start yelling and screaming and COMPLETELY freaking out and gran ordeing my sister to "KILL IT!! JUST KILL IT!!." i came out to see what the hell all the fuss was. it was this:




and just to put it all into perspective, so you can understand exactly WHY they were freaking out here's this:
