sunglass lenses

2.06.2013

67 glorious degrees (!!!) warrants a trip to the river between classes. It may only be February 6th, but spring is in the air: I found the first daffodil of the season today, the trees are swollen with buds, and the bushes smell like honeysuckle. And last night, there were crickets chirping. I repeat, CRICKETS. For this always-freezing girl, Oklahoma winter is a thing to behold.

All images shot through the lenses of my sunglasses. Try it sometime! It's so much fun.

  1. Looking through your lenses- inspiring. I really am holding on to the last shreds of winter, but *secretly* waiting for spring.

  4. Love your idea of shooting through sunnies! I'll have to try that myself sometime. :) lovely pictures to show off the first sign of spring. Today we had sunshine for the first time in like..forever. Sadly it's back to snow tomorrow but I loved having just one day of sunshine. It makes all the difference :)
