It was a beautiful, sunny day today! There was a bit of wind at points, but the weather was rather calm for this time of year. I took advantage of the beautiful day to practice contact juggling outdoors. This is the baseball I've been working with. Not as awesome as LH's "orb", but it's keeping me from getting rusty until I procure a contact juggling ball of my own.

Last day at college. The morning started with a drawing class. I sat back and watched LH and one of her friends from the class worked on their pieces. I discovered this blackboard and eraser in the corner of the class room and took a quiet moment to steal away and attempt one of the few styles of art that I can at least somewhat manage. The lighting in that room did not wholly agree with my camera; no matter the setting I put it on. So pardon the graininess.

I spent the entire day shadowing LH. I got to attend college classes, meet awesome people, play with her contact juggling ball and walk the campus with her. In short - it rocked! She and I had a great time hanging out and were thrilled to end the day with a couple of Dr. Who episodes.

The most fascinating architectural feature of the campus is (in my humble opinion) their lovely fountain. I insisted on visiting it three times (twice on Monday, once on Tuesday), 'cos I fell in love with it. The first photograph is an experimental black and white shot that I took. Attempting to be artistic. Dunno if that worked so much, but I'm happy with it nonetheless.

The second shot is of the fountain as the sun made its descent. The orange-ish lighting on the left side of the jets of water happens to be fading sunlight. Too pretty to not photograph.

As I didn't have access to my own computer while staying with LH at her college, the posts from Sunday and Monday are delayed. I'm fudging the time stamp on this and the following post for the sake of organization.

This is a picture of LH's contact juggling ball. It is clear. And awesome. And reflects images in a ridiculously cool manner. This right here is the wall on LH's side of the dorm.



Bonus picture:
LH was staying at Mangy's house for a portion of her Spring Break, so that's where I caught a ride with the former. Before hanging out with Mangy and her daughter at Panera for a bit, we unloaded my stuff into LH's truck. One of Mangy's kitty cats, Simon, decided to check my car out while I had the trunk open. I thought that I had a new pet!

My mostly packed duffel. I worked on getting stuff ready for heading south with LH tomorrow. I'm greatly looking forward to it!

Some of the Colorado CPers met for a mini moot today. I was glad to be able to attend and took this shot while we were hanging out. Yes, those are poker chips. No, they don't represent real money. We were trying out a game invented by one of our ex-members and had a good time while doing it!

It was a shopping day (one day early, but I'm going to a mini moot tomorrow so there won't be time for me to assist with the grocery shopping). At Wal-Mart, my mom and I discovered this really neat display stand. I generally forget to take my photograph until we're out of the store, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of this fella. Pretty neat, eh?

This is my mother's bird bath, located in one of the areas of our yard that was lightly covered by Tuesday's snow storm. Yes, in this case, three inches was relatively light.

There's nothing better to do than cuddle up with a good book when you have nothing pressing to attend to. I'm over halfway through this volume and still marking my place with the bookmark I made myself.

I noticed sprouts in my EggPlant this afternoon! There are only four of them, but if you look really closely, you might be able to catch a glimpse of the itty bitty green shoots.
