honestly.

I seem to have been coming up with extra projects just to avoid organizing and packing (no thanks to Tumblr, my newest addiction). 

Handpainted cards.

Heart bokeh filter...

 

 which still needs some practice.

 Finished my Matroyshka dolls!

 Worked on a bouquet made of felt for an amazing bride.

 Oh and plus I spend most of my free time thinking about this place.

 And this place.



I'm so busy!  I swear!

(I didn't even mention studying German, working on CELTA coursework and watching the Real Housewives the second a new episode posts online...)

no scooters for you.

My pictures from this weekend were going to be of things like this:

(except I'm blonde)

But they ended up being mostly like these:

Renting scooters in Gyeongju did not pan out as planned.  However, there were still plenty of things to take pictures of, even if none of them involved adorable pictures with a scooter and retro motorcycle goggles.  Oh well.  Next time.  It was still a glorious weekend!

blossoms on Sunday

Spring in Korea is especially beautiful this year.  It is so nice to have a warm breeze in your face instead of the icy, driving winter wind.  I can't wait to spend my last 7 weeks (yikes!) taking in what Korea has to offer this time of year.  I'm sad another fantastic weekend is over, but only five days till the next one!

blackbird singing in the dead of night

 I spotted this little guy in an amazing Japanese megastore.  It has a cage case.

I had to have it.  It came today (thank goodness!  I needed a little surprise today of all days!). 

Check out all the colors it can come in plus the amazing picures people take with it!

I'm boring and picked white. 

As soon as I get my film developed, I can contribute to this group-

the weekend blur

My weekends have been such a race against the return of Monday.  It seems like they go from Friday night to Monday morning in less than 24 hours.  This weekend will be no exception.  I need the weekend though.  Really, really need it.  No matter how short it may seem. 

I also feel like I was the last person to know that Liz Taylor died.  Where was I yesterday that I almost missed that?!  Also on that note, there is the most amazing link to 100 photos of her that gave me goosebumps-

Look at her rock the Dior "new look" and kill it in bikinis all day!

I kill plants.

So I made these instead!

It's almost spring in Korea again.  Bring on the yellow dust, blossoms and the rain!

long exposures.

I took my tripod outside to take pictures of the moon.  None of those really turned out, but I caught a few others.  I knew I wasn't going to be able to be out at night with my tripod, laying on a sidewalk trying to get the perfect shot, without being questioned.  A lady came out to see exactly what I was doing. 

So I showed her.  She seemed impressed. 

She gave me a thumbs up.
