That’s right, folks. My blog now lives at this address so Melissa can read it. All new entries will be posted there, not here. Huzzah!

flowers, originally uploaded by Chupperwidge.

It’s almost spring, and it’s about time! I’m so sick of winter and cold, so it was a very welcome sight to see little flowers poking above the mass of dead leaves beside the campus sidewalk leading up to the science building. Of course, I had to stop and take a few pictures. What I didn’t know was that Mom and Laura were waiting in the car for me, and it turns out that they could see me from where they were parked. So I had to explain why I would suddenly stop in my tracks, bend over for a few minutes, then get back up (since that’s all they could see me do). It was definitely an interesting conversation.

It’s a beelum, though I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s spelled. Abby told me the women in Papua New Guinea wear them around their heads and use them to carry just about anything, from babies to groceries. This one happens to belong to Elizabeth.

Ah, Scragg, the fluffy little warrior helmet that hangs on car mirrors. This is probably Scragg the Second, since the original belonged to Mel. I love these little guys- I’m going to buy one for when I start driving.

‘Kay, there’s something wrong with this picture. I was getting a fork earlier today and just had to show you this. There are more knives than actual silverware in our drawer. Scary, isn’t it?

You know, I’m not actually sure if I took this. I’d like to say I did -it’s a fabulous picture- but I can’t. I’ll have to ask.

…No comment. This pictures speaks for itself. =)

Oh, and happy Leap Year… Day!

mom reading, originally uploaded by Chupperwidge.

I like this picture a lot. I took this when we were waiting at the Hale Koa to eat dinner. It was one of those nights where I took pictures of everything simply because I was bored and ended up with something great.

my phone, originally uploaded by Chupperwidge.

Macro never ceases to amaze me. If you look at it in its original size, you can very clearly see the texture of the phone. And the stylish purple-pink color.

chandelier, originally uploaded by Chupperwidge.

This is one of the only photos I took today, even though it didn’t turn out that great. I was trying to take a macro picture of the lightbulb, but it’s so hard when there’s so much in the background and I can’t keep my hand steady to save my life.
