Among the Clouds: 45º58’35’’N, 7º39’30’’E

Lighter than the air,
Free from all,
Breathless beneath the blue sky,
Among the clouds.

 Deep inhale,
Clothes flapping in the wind,
The crunch of the snow,
Beneath the boots.

 Gazing far,
Into the land,
Infused with noise,
And countless thoughts.

 Taking time,
The hum of the earth,
Grounded but free,
On the cap of the peak.

 Thoughts lingering like flies,
And disappearing just as swiftly,
No need to think,
Among the clouds.

California Trip

California Vacation         Usually, my idea of a perfect vacation is staying at home bundled up in a cozy blanket while sipping hot cocoa and watching a movie with my friends or family. This vacation however, my family went to California. We left Portland International Jetport and flew to Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C.. From there we flew to San Francisco International Airport. After staying at my uncle's new house for a few days, we booked seats on a 4-day tour bus.         The first day we drove to Los Angeles where I saw the Hollywood sign and the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the stars).  Although I don't believe her, my cousin claims to have seen "Diggy" from the show Liv and Maddie .           On the second day, we drove to Death Valley. On the way there, we saw the world's largest thermometer in memory of Death Valley being having the record of the highest temperature. Th...

Crayon Art

By Anonymous -

I used to love using crayons when I was little. I used to scribble everywhere! As I got older, I shifted towards colored pencils and soon my crayons were all stuck in some box that I never opened until now. Most of my crayons were broken in half (Don't you love that satisfying snap of a crayon? My 5-year-old self certainly did.), so I decided to snap all of them to make the crayons even. Materials: - 27 crayons (it doesn't matter if they're broken or not) - a blow dryer - lots of newspaper - a canvas (8 inches by 10 inches) - a hot glue gun 1. Peel the crayons. Yes, I know. It's a long and boring process, but it's worth it for the end product. An easy way to do this is by letting the crayons soak in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. The crayons are usually super easy to peel off after that . 2.  Arrange and hot glue the crayons in rainbow order. 3. Find some silhouettes online, print them, and glue them onto the canvas. I printed out...
