Today’s Macro Monday shot comes from a wedding a shot in NJ 2 weeks ago. The bride said her florist described this bouquet style as “Roundy-Moundy”, which I thought was a pretty adorable description.

When Christina Perri’s song Jar of Hearts came on the radio on my drive home one day, I laughed. I couldn’t get over the cheesiness of the lyrics. “You’re gonna catch a cold/from the ice inside your soul”…are ya serious?? The melody & harmonies did give me chills, I will admit. But every time I heard it, I just switched stations.
Recently, I’d heard that my youngest nephew, Jack, knew every word to that song. I decided to download it yesterday as he accompanied me on a few errands to see if I could hear a few bars. As soon as it started, I heard “I know this song.” from the back seat. He sang the entire song as I held back tears from the driver’s seat. It was one of the cutest things I’ve ever heard; such a sad song coming out of this sweet boy. Worth the $1.29? Absolutely. I asked him when it was over, “Jack, what do you think that song’s about?” He said, “I don’t know, but it’s really sad.”

Maybe not a true Macro Shot, but it’ll do. I took it in Annapolis over the weekend while enjoy the croquet festivities. Have a great week, everyone

Last year, Kyle and I made last-minute plans to meet his parents for dinner in downtown Annapolis. We parked just outside of St. John’s campus (like I always do) and began to cut across campus to Main St. I noticed on our drive in seer-sucker suits & women with giant hats & lavish gowns, but once we hit campus, it was like stepping on the set of The Great Gatsby. I said to Kyle, “Are we on a movie set?!” The lawn was filled with picnic blankets & couches. Thousands of people strolled the grounds of St. John’s dressed to the nines. Kyle’s Meshuggah t-shirt (which stood out even more than usual in this crowd) attracted one spectator to stop & chat. He explained that we had stumbled into the annual croquet match between the Naval Academy & St. John’s. We learned that every year, thousands of spectators come out dressed like something out of the 1920′s. I made a mental note of the event & hoped I’d have the opportunity to enjoy it a little more in 2012.
Despite the threats of rain, I made it down to St. John’s & took a few shots. I could barely believe my eyes when I wondered on to a swing dance group. It was such a joyful & fun atmosphere & I’m glad I was able to take some of it in this year.
