    project 365 : days 142 – 148

    by Kaylah Stroup May 29, 2017

    142 : 365 I am obsessed with this photo of Professor. He’s such a beautiful little baby.

    143 : 365 An air plant and some land camera photos from vacation. Definitely still feel like I’m coming down from the vacation high.

    PS. If you’re looking for film for your land camera, you can find it here.

    144 : 365 Skeleton toe socks and a spooky little kitten.

    145 : 365 Things that live on the table beside my desk.

    146 : 365 Post Critical Mass ice cream date with my brother and his family at Mason’s Creamery. I got an affogato, as per usual.

    147 : 365 Saturday shenanigans.

    abandoned cleveland, abandoned factory

    148 : 365 Squid and Professor tolerate each other – no more, no less. In all the years they’ve been living together I’ve never seen them cuddling together but y’all this sure as heck looks like progress!!!

    Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start.
    xoxo

    135 : 365 The only photo I took last Monday. I spent the day frantically packing, trying to relax by playing Zelda, and then… FLYING! 136 : 365 First whole vacation day! These are some random shots from Nevada. I’m always excited by tumbleweeds. 137 : 365 Perkins Park in Pacific Grove, California. 138 : …
