rain, rain

It's been raining like crazy here lately, and chilly too, for May. The lighting gets so good though, I can't complain, and Utah is a desert after all, so it's a good drink for all the plants. I ran a lot of errands yesterday and was so so glad that a)even though I left my rubber riding boots in New York, my sister's same pair is still in our garage, b)they fit me, and c) I had a car to shield me during errands and could drive right up to places, as opposed to New York where you have to walk everywhere and worry about leaving one hand open for an umbrella when you also need to carry home all your erranding wares. and you end up soaking wet by the time you get home. ugh. do NOT miss that.











I'm really enjoying the autonomy driving affords- it's been two years now of feeling at the mercy of the public transport system. I've already shot two engagement shoots way out in the mountains and loved every minute of the trip out there, and I even enjoy grocery shopping at least twice as much when I know I don't have to carry everything home the whole way by myself with my praying mantis arms. I love just being able to explore wherever I feel like again. It's been a long time.

Also, I packed really light on this trip, because I had to bring all my camera gear and tripod along, which weighs a lot- so this summer you're going to be seeing a lot of the same pieces pretty frequently in my posts. I normally try not to wear the same stuff too close together....I guess mainly just because I'm a hoarder and I have enough clothes that I can....anyway, get real used to this cardigan, because it's one of two that I packed, and it's mich chillier than I was expecting. Also, also, I always seem to get saggy baggy elephant knees in leggings. real attractive. whyyy? does this happen to anyone else? and that umbrella was broken....great. so between the saggy knees, the broken umbrella, and the same cardigan in two consecutive posts, I hope you can forgive me, Blog Gods.
