Dressed in Dew
I didn’t believe these were real at first glance. Have you ever seen something so magnificent?

Snapshots from DC
Two weeks ago I decided to use some points to take a long weekend in Washington, DC. It was a whirlwind filled with really good food, music, and interesting people. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten such a diverse range of food in such a short period of time. (I even ate grasshoppers!)
I’ve been to most of the monuments already, so I spent this whole trip just letting friends show me around and doing “local” stuff. I must say, DC impressed me.

Heart Melt: Zoo Miami’s New Baby Giraffe
Look who just made his first appearance yesterday at Zoo Miami! My heart is melting. I mean, there really isn’t much that is cuter than a frolicking baby giraffe. You can see more photos on the Zoo’s page on Facebook.
Can you really have a bad day after seeing this?

{color inspirations: palettes & balloons}
As you all know by now, balloons make me EXTREMELY happy. I actually toted a dior-style big balon rouge around with me on my trip to San Francisco with ms. hyperfluent, including to the redwoods. {Yes, we got lots of crazy looks, but we got smiles even more often.} I also have a thing for color palettes, so today’s post combines the two.
These beautiful palettes are taken from the dreamy photos of another balloon enthusiast, Valeria of Red Balloon Photography. Valeria’s photos caught my eye because of their sweet, sunny feel despite their muted palettes. They are so perfectly subdued that they manage to be colorful without reminding me of the circus. The color palettes created from these photos emphasize the perfection of the colors in these pics. They’d work perfectly well outside of the picture as a color scheme for a room, a print, or a website.
Hmmm… maybe I should use one of these palettes for a {bits of beauty} website makeover. Do you have a favorite?

{bit of beauty: east in west}
Taken on a trip to Philadelphia, these photos by my childhood friend capture autumn perfectly. Aren’t they stunning? I especially love her photos of the Shofuso japanese house & garden with its tea school. It’s a little bit of East in the West.

{bit of beauty: meliae}
Meliae were the nymphs of the ash tree in Greek mythology. The ash tree, which shared the same name, produced what is known in antiquity as manna, which the greeks called meli, greek for honey.
