Maybe I'm breaking dress code but I'm super proud to represent Moho and Moho ice hockey today for faculty/staff college day! #mtholyokeforevershallbe #mountholyokecollege

Probably the prettiest apple I've ever seen

#cyrussaurus loves the sweatshirts @perfetc42 got us from @tentree but he hates camera flash.

Throwback to California because I'm missing time with @perfetc42. As told, diary style, by a mixed bag of photos
.
Not only was this my first time across the #goldengatebridge, but also my first time doing so in a convertible 😸
.
Ah yes this talented and beautiful friend and that convertible. Lounging, cartooning, climbing, bike-running, hiking, driving, playing and laughing with this magnificent woman was just what the doctor ordered to close out my summer of travel
.
It didn't hurt that there was a dog 😬
.
California needs to stopped hogging all of the beautiful already

Oh glob guys shandals are a thing. I'm so sorry
.
I really am sorry about the shandals, here's another beautiful succulent. Forgive me?

I only took two photos today at the Botanic Gardens but they were if two very beautiful flowers. I've never really noticed #dahlias before but I've been ALL ABOUT EM lately.

Coming in a few days late, but on our last day of #plunkhaushoneymoon we spent a magical day at #chihulygardenandglass (and the Pop Art Museum #MoPop and the Space Needle but they don't photo as well). I've loved Chihuly since one of his installations moved into the libs at #Moho, but I never dreamed of seeing this much of his genius in one place
.
The colors, the shapes, the ideas... I was so inspired by this museum and so in awe of the life that can be brought to glass. I've been wanting to take glass blowing lessons for years now, and the second I have some disposable income...
