Here's what a pointless post looks like.

Hello, people, look at your nose, now back to me, now back at your nose, now back to me.

Ha! You thought I was going to do the Old Spice commercial? I'm not, and I just made you go cross eyed.

I'm on a raft.

Breathtaking.

I have recently become an addict... over Les Miserables. I remember having it in our home when I was little, but now I can't find it! But I was privileged enough to be able to watch the 25th Anniversary on PBS awhile ago. Ah! It's so cool!

This is one of my favorite songs. Enjoy!

I can't figure out how to put two videos on one post :/ Oh well!

My favorite picture with a purpose.

I was in a rather mellow and deep thinking mood today. As I sat on the couch reading 1 of 6 books I checked out from the library, I thought about purposeful things. As my mind wandered, I started thinking about what pictures I had taken that had a purpose.

I only take pictures of flowers, I thought. But then I remembered that I had tagged along with a couple of picture taking geniuses while they took my sister and her husband's wedding pictures. I was mostly there because my dad had asked me if I wanted to come. He handed me a camera and told me to take pictures of whatever I wanted.  The pictures that I took were mostly of the wedding couple, but they were never looking at my camera because they were focused on the other two cameras. I thought my pictures came out rather well actually.

So, as they were wandering around the temple grounds, I decided to go check out the flowers (I'm obsessed with them) by the visitors center. I decided to try and get a shot of the wedding couple with a flower incorporated in it. And this is what I came up with:

Unfortunately, I didn't know that these were roses. So as I leaned into the flowers and got myself situated practically inside the flower bush (I think the Visitor's Center missionaries were a little miffed that I was laying on top of their roses), I took a couple of pictures. I was satisfied with them, so I started to get out of the bush. Only then did I realize that I was stuck in the thorns! It must have been quite a show, seeing me try to get out of that. It was all worth it though, because this is my favorite picture of all the pictures I've taken. 

You may think it's not that great, but I don't care, I love it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey, guess what I have pictures of!

Yup, you guess it. Blossoms! It's all about the blossoms, people. That's all you're gonna get until some other flowers start blooming. But hey, I still have like 3 more blossoming trees to take pictures of. Hang in there!

I smell like baby spit. But that's okay because we have hyacinths in our yard! These lovely smelling flowers are the highlight of my life. I could spend all day smelling them. But it's been impossible to get what I consider a good picture of them. SIGH. Oh well, I'll just have to wait for good lighting at all that jazz.

I personally love the light pink ones. I'm not a big fan of pink, but these sure are gorgeous!

We also have plum blossoms and lavender in our yard, but the blossoms don't smell like anything, and the lavender hasn't bloomed yet.

I was going to clean my room today, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Instead I'm celebrating Pi Day!

HAPPY PI DAY!
