Can't see the forest... for the (monkey in) the trees!

August 2006 - Dallas, TX

I don't know about you,
but I do believe there might be a monkey in yonder tree just hanging out overhead this pondering woman....















Ta da! You see? Monkey?... Tree??

No?
You're all disappointed that it's not reeeeaaally a monkey and you're all "But you promised monkeys and possibly even forests" (yeah, that's right, I just linked to "UsingEnglish.com" because that actually needs to exist).

Happy weekend!

So much more of this season to go! Check out the snapshots over at Mochatini, too for your taste of the bright colors, pinks, whites, and light, airy feel of this year's American Summer - filled with luncheons, poolside lounging, and beach vacations.
