    Wow, Anne, your pictures are gorgeous! Some of them I'd like to make my background for my desktop! (like the leaf with the droplet of water) What a fun day! :)

      Thanks! :) I just bought it the other day at the mall here in Durham NC - but unfortunately I can't remember what store it was! It was a random one I'd never heard of. I'm sorry!

    All three of you are leaving us in suspense about your wonderful day :) The pictures are gorgeous though- I love the darker one of the water fountain (I think?)

    Wow! Amazing pictures! I am seriously envious of your talent with photography :) So, I have a bit of a confession to make. Since I've missed out on a lot of your blog, I decided to read it from the beginning to present (since you came out with your 1 year anniversary of your blog and posted the link to your first ever post). I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! I'm actually kind of disappointed that I'm caught up because now I have to be patient and wait for your posts :) (Patience is not one of my best qualities lol) I hope you're loving UNC Chapel Hill and the NC area. I'm living in Austin, Texas now, but I moved here about a year and a half ago from Virginia. It's so much fun for me to read your blog since I have family all up and down the east coast, and I'm reallllly familiar with the DC/NoVA area (as well as Austin Texas when you come visit here!). Anyway, keep up the awesome work, and I'm so excited for you that you're following your dreams!

      Oh my gosh - you went back and read ALL my posts from the past year?? That's amazing! :) You rock. Jealous that you live in Austin - I loved it there, as you saw from my posts when I visited! Such a cool place. I'm loving UNC though, too - Chapel Hill is great and the girls in my program are awesome :) Yay for finally figuring out what to do with my life, at least for the most part. :) Heh. Thanks for the sweet comment!
