Still Here. Kinda.

I don't really have a whole lot to say, nor do I have a lot of time to say it. 

We're in the home stretch now--my thesis defense will be in about two months. I'm excited, overwhelmed and anxious. There's so much to do, and it feels like there's not enough time.

Anyway, here are a few photos from my garden. I pruned  my tomato plants because they were just too much for me to deal with right now. What really happened was a strange cathartic destruction of the plants involving me hacking away at them and then sitting in my front yard, sweating and crying. The next day I came back out to look at the damage (not that bad, just nicely trimmed back plants, really), and I brought my camera. No, you may not see a photo of the plants. THEY'RE FINE. 

There is such an astounding amount of life outside of our air conditioned, concreted world. The outside vibrates with life, and here I am, struggling to feel alive in the depths of finishing my graduate work. The irony is not lost on me, folks.

No color modifications here. This guy is really this bright.

Strawberry leaf.

Rushing, rushing, rushing. 


Eye sees you.
