Grand Canyon March 2011

A few of my favorite photos from an incredible rafting trip in the Grand Canyon this March. I am so unbelievably lucky to have had the opportunity to spend nearly a month with an amazing group of people in one of our planets most majestic and beautiful natural wonders.

Gogol Bordello - Pala Tute

I miss the days of funky, creative music videos. I know they still get made but I think the music video industry saw it's heyday in the 80s and 90s. Unless there's some underground world that I don't know about?

Here's Pala Tute by my favorite band, who happens to put on the best live show ever. Period. If you haven't seen Gogol Bordello, add it to your bucket list.

Color & type. Love these prints by Alberto Seveso.

Tribute to Belgian Beer

I first fell in love with beer while working in a wine bar. Ironic maybe, but learning to taste wine ultimately taught me how to appreciate flavor. I won't geek out in foodie land for too long, but I've recently been lucky enough to enjoy some really incredible Belgian beers that inspired this post. There is something about Belgian beer that warms the soul...

Duvel. My First Love.

Delirium Tremens. Named for the acute episode of delirium usually caused from withdrawal from alcohol.

Chimay. Brewed by Cistercian Trappist monks since 1862.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 (10.5% alcohol content) 

My Grandma - 1952 Panama

My grandparents moved to Panama for nine months in 1952 with their three year old son (my dad) and four year old daughter. They lived there for nine months while my grandpa was stationed there. I love looking at photos from that time but these pictures of my grandma are my absolute favorite. She was my age - 26 at the time.

Summer Pieces...

This has been such a wonderful summer. I was really wishing that I had space for my own garden but in some ways it worked out better that I didn't. I had so little time already and instead I was lucky enough to have been able to help some of my closest friends in their gardens (and now I get to reap the benefits as well). I'm trying to come up with some creative ways to use the three huge zucchini I was given this week...Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread anyone?
