Mini Murals

We have been seeing these murals pop up on utility boxes all over the neighborhood for months.

Sabrina and I love looking out for them when we are out and about. This one is my favorite so far.

I thought a box hunt would be a fun way to learn about following a map.

I went online and and discovered it is a much larger project than I thought, it spans the whole city of Houston!

This may just be the first box hunt.

The project is constantly expanding.

Have you stumbled upon any pleasant surprises in your neck of the woods lately?

europe trip: munich

we spent just one day in munich, and while that is definitely not enough time to see everything this splendid city has to offer, we did our best to squeeze in as much as possible! we visited the rathaus (and got to see the glockenspiel in action), an open market, a couple stunning cathedrals, had lunch at a biergarten, and toured the jaw-dropping splendor that is the residenz. an exhausting but amazing day!

europe trip: bavaria

we were lucky to get to spend an entire week with claire in germany! she lives in the charming little village of neuching, which is about 30 minutes north east of munich. we went on many excursions exploring the surrounding villages (erding and landshut are pictured below) and countryside. mostly though we just enjoyed being with claire, georg, and that gorgeous boy mateo. we can't thank them enough for their generosity, hospitality, and all the effort they went through to make sure we had the most amazing time. (which we did!!)

i love you clairey and can't wait to get to come back and see you again!

september photo a day challenge

i participated in a photo a day challenge for the month of september over on the instagram. here are the results:

they gave us a word each day to interpret as we wished:

it was fun, some days were definitely more of a challenge than others, but all in all i'd say that i enjoyed myself! i will admit though to liking not having pressure to post a specific photo today and being able to post whatever i felt like.

are you on the instagram? click here to follow me! i'll follow you back!

instagram-a-rama!

i recently jumped on the instagram bandwagon (i've no chance of being a hipster, i know... better late than never, that's my motto!). i'm having fun playing around with all the filters and such, but i think it would be more fun if i had more contacts...

so my first question is: are YOU on instagram?

my next questions are: have you ever wondered what my cat peapod might have looked like in a photograph from the 70's?
