AS ALWAYS.

UP. in the AIR.

A friend of mine tweeted about this amazing project in which National Geographic built and launched a

house suspended by balloons...

just like the house from (you guessed it)

UP!

I don't usually like to regurgitate info that has already been shared on others blogs

BUT

This was just too good to resist.

All the photos and info are from Eugene's Blog

"Yesterday morning, March 5 at dawn, National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour."

The movie is a very touching story of love, loss and friendship.

I highly recommend watching it, if you haven't already.

National Geographic

I guess I wasn't the only one wondering if this

was possible while watching the movie ;)

Pictures that make me smile. Part 5 (pink edition)

I feel like yesterdays post was very serious.

For that reason (and because it's lovely and sunny out today),

todays post calls for some fun.

SO...

I love pink.

pink. pink. pink.

pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink. pink.

pink.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....
I used to HATE pink.

people change :)

~Dreaming of the Circus~ by Rosanna Anson.

I'm not sure why, but I have recently felt drawn to all things

CIRCUS INSPIRED.

San Francisco based Photographer Rosanna Anson

has captured the dreamy surreal feel of the circus

beautifully.

I didn't write much about these photos because, well,

they speak for themselves pretty well...

HOWEVER

I couldn't just leave this as a photo only, or circus only post.

As I was browsing her collection I stumbled across

another amazing series very reminiscent of

TIM WALKER

So of course I had to include them :)

This last photo, in particular, reminds me of the house from the documentary

GREY GARDENS

"The film depicts the everyday lives of two reclusive socialites, a mother and daughter both named Edith Beale, who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit mansion at 3 West End Road in the wealthy Georgica Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York."

If you haven't heard of these two, google them.

Their story is fascinating.

There is also a remake in which

Drew Barrymore plays "Little Edie"

and Jessica Lang plays "Big Edie."

I recommend watching the real one first so that you can

fully grasp how well-done the remake is.

Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang did a fantastic job.

I love a good train of thought that can go from the

CIRCUS to DECREPIT MANSIONS.
