First, some pictures from home. One of our home improvement projects has been changing Bryan's giant black speakers from eyesores into landscapes. Here, Bryan touches up the base coat of hills and sky. - speaker with hills
The next weekend, Leslie spent a few hours adding some detail. (Mom will recognize these flowers from her bathroom painting.) - speaker with hills close up

We've ventured into San Francisco a few weekends now. Though we have yet to snap any pictures of streets or buildings, Golden Gate Park offered a few photo ops. This is Leslie and Jenn, a fellow TFAer. - bryan and jenn golden gate park

Now, this picture's a little blurry, but I found it very important to capture the beauty of this tomato. Perhaps the best I've ever eaten. - roses from bryan and george
Bryan and George sent roses to my school to help me feel better about my miserable life. It worked. I'm easy. - roses and kitchen
