Oh, I wish I was in New York this morning...
...drinking from a paper cup. I've been dying to get back to New York lately. It's one of my favorite places in the world. But there's only so many times I can listen to Roman Candle's "New York This Morning." So, here's some pictures of my last trip to New York, which was less than a year ago, but still way too long ago.

Today the world said "Come out and play!"
So I did.
Despite my better judgment and a sky ready to storm, I decided to take a drive up to Falls Dam sans cell phone and neglecting to tell anyone where I was going. I love driving up to the dam. It's the place I go to clear my head. If you explore around by the river, you can find a place where they've used old car parts as a retaining wall. I couldn't get any good pictures of it, though. I used to go canoeing up on the lake when I was in high school, too.

Summer at Lake Lynn
My Mom and I go walking at Lake Lynn once a week. It's a two mile loop of absolute beauty. It's nice to know even though I live in a city and spend most of my time downtown this lake is only a few miles from my house.
It's definitely summer. The sky looks like it is constantly pending a thunderstorm and everything is lush and green, but not yet worn out from the hot days. There are baby turtles, ducks and squirrels everywhere. It's really very adorable.
I wasn't overly impressed with the way these photos turned out, but here you go!

The Bain Project
My sisters volunteered at The Bain Project this weekend and I am very jealous. As an avid fan of exploring old buildings, I really wished I could make it. Unfortunately, I was in the midst of the big move from Boone back to Raleigh. The architecture is simply amazing.
The E.B. Bain Building was Raleigh's old waterworks plant, built in 1939. It was closed in 1987 and remained closed until a 12 artist collective spent almost a year turning the buidling into an art space. The building was opened to the public this past weekend for the show. There is 3.5 million dollars slated for renovating the building and eventually turning into a shops and galleries. I can't wait for that day!
You can read a great article on The Independent Weekly.
My sister Michelle got some great photos, that my geeky self couldn't help but edit. Photo credits totally go to her, though. She took so, so many, but these two are my favorites.
