summer loves

the number 14, it's a good one.

natural curls.

naps in the sun on hand-made quilts.

holding hands {this is one of my all-the-time loves}

a perfect thursday =

my 3 favorite people + sunshine + climber + friends + hot lips + ecotrust.

we spent the afternoon and evening at an outdoor concert in nw portland, the last

in a series of outdoor summer shows at the portland ecotrust building.

we went for climber, and caught a surprise acoustic set by silversun pickups.

both bands were fantastic and we had such a good time. 

we soaked in the blue sky,

and laughed til we nearly peed!

we held hands,

and talked and talked and talked.

we were actors, the verrrry dramatic sort.

we were beautiful...

and happy...

and awesome.
