U.S.A. The Sovereign

Hello, hello,

I’ll preface this post with a very important question:

Q: Who says you have to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th?

A: Nobody!

And that’s pretty much how it is for Americans.

But really, July 2nd has some historical significance. In 1776, Continental Congress declared independence as the British fleet and army arrived at New York. So there you go, Independence just took a few days (and militia ambushes) to set in.

Thanks America for Burt’s Bees, Jeans, Google and importing Liam Neeson to make AWESOME action films.

Front Yard Bird Watching

June 30, 2011June 15, 2012 ~ Crystle ~ 2 Comments

Hey Everyone!

Today I’m not afraid to admit that I love to bird watch. I have a pretty sweet canopy over my house that allows me to do it from my front porch. Unfortunately, all we really get are Robins, Cardinals and Carolina Wrens. We are, on occasion, visited by black birds and pigeons but they certainly aren’t majestic.

This little male Cardinal was very curious as to why the Paparazzo was interested in him. You can see his thought process as I clicked away.

He saw me take a picture of him, and while I adjusted the focus, he skipped off to another fence panel.

You can actually see the growing interest in the way he turned his head to get a better look. Then he moved over to yet another fence panel.

Again, he looked at me sideways as if to say “what ARE you doing?”

Then he came even closer to get a better look at me.

Then I guess he got bored because he flew home. What a cute little nest!

I’m looking forward to capturing images of other little birds in my neighborhood. Hopefully they’re all equally curious.

Welcome to Yea Yea Pueblo!

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to Yea Yea Pueblo. I kind of out grew the old big grid ways on blogspot so I thought I’d spice things up a bit and drop the .blogspot and the dark settings I had previously. You should now be redirected to YeaYeaPueblo.com. Brighter, and cheerful in appearance!

I chose Yea Yea Pueblo, well because it was the first thing that popped into my head. And the header photo is of beautiful Pecos, NM. One of my favorite places to backpack. So fun!

Anyways, Yea Yea Pueblo is just one thing I’ve been working on tonight. Check out these little girls:

I’m going to embroider them tomorrow with work related inspiration. They’re to decorate my new cubicle. I was recently promoted and now work in another department at the office. I love it! My new colleagues are hilarious!

What better way to reward myself for the promotion than to craft something nifty for the change of scenery? And to buy myself a new tripod? (Like how I snuck that one in there?)

The big embroidery ring will say “Cubicle Sweet Cubicle” feel free to use that. Now I need to find my tailor chalk.
