Spring Grove Cemetery

Watch out for these jerkwads.

Spring Grove is a huuuge beautiful cemetery here in Cincinnati. Sophie and I dipped our toes into it last winter, but the cold was biting and we couldn't stand it for very long. I took Bufford with me last week(which I was told after the fact that dogs actually aren't allowed, but none of the people working there said anything to us...) and we had a great time. It was probably one of the last hot days of fall, and the sun was shining. The leaves are all changing into the most beautiful shades, and the monuments and headstones and mausoleums are all breath taking. There were lots of people out having little photoshoots, but all I brought was my iphone. Still I took some decent shots, and Bufford had a good old time sniffing anything and everything. The swans pictured above were bullies, it made me laugh that anytime Bufford and I got near the water at any point in the ponds they would come over and hiss at as and follow us until we left. I thought maybe we were close to their nest but I didn't see anything and they came at us wherever we went. Crazy jerks. Anyway I would definitely recommend making a visit if you're in the area before it gets too cold!

"Mom! Who put this guy in here and what is he doing??"

"Yes, dis is a nice little lamb."

Truth, friendship, love.

Swimming!

 A few weeks ago I went swimming with my little brother Duke and Cousin Hailey at the Natural Springs Resort in New Paris. Its definitely one of my favorite places to go swimming. There's a diving board, a dock you can swim out too, and you can even go scuba diving in the deep part to see a submerged car. Anyway, my Mom was also in attendance too, but she didn't swim. At first I was just sunning on the beach with Mom, but the kiddos convinced me to dive in. I swam and swam until my body was achy. We tried to teach Hailey how to dive but it wasn't really working, and when I tried to dive off the diving board, I somehow managed to hurt my neck so that really didn't inspire grace or bravery in anyone. We still had a blast, and when we got tired, those two tried to catch fish with a net by luring them closer with Doritos.

On the was home we passed a cemetery with three fawns in it. I made Mom stop so I could attempt to take a piture. Once we got home, Mom made dinner and I was starving! I ate a huge steak, two and a half ears of corn on the cob, and a ton of caprese salad! Delicious. I wish every day off in summer could be like that day :)

Selfie time.

liddle deer.

Hope you're having fun in the sun too!

Cemetery at Nightfall

I love cemeteries. Blame it on when I fell in love with My Chemical Romance. Anyway, here are some great shots I got the other day after I took pictures of my outfit:

Beautiful. Favorite shot of the day :)

Ghost Doggie!!

Blurry, but I wanted you to see the city lights.

Spooky. Me and Boof ran back to the car. When the sun went down it got real dark, and I got a bit scared haha. Been watching too much American Horror Story.

What SHE wore - Little Sophie (with Jared and Boof)

I don't know why I've waited so long to post these! Last Sunday Sophie and I wanted to hang out after work and decided to go on an impromptu photoshoot in the cemetery :) She didn't want to wear her work uniform for it, so I lent her some of my things.

 I love this picture!! She's seriously the cutest :D (Also I forgot to change my settings so these look grainy. I need to just leave it on auto.)

Skills

I love these! Boof never lets me photograph his face straight on, so these are rare.

Check out that view!

Yucky spider we found and Jared tricked. He kept putting leaves in his web and he'd run over and be so disappointed haha. I'm surprised I wasn't scared watching!

AHH SPIDER ATTACKING THE CITY!! haha.

HA! Derp Fall weee!
