We called it the meeting of the mythical figures..those friends in your best friends lives who you hear about all the time, but have never met. I think that is my favorite part of weddings, getting to meet the other loved ones of the ones you love. Tuscon with it's 100 degree days and breezy sundress nights was a beautiful setting for such a meeting.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817114507/" title="nikkiweddinggroup1-1 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2199/5817114507_8f0b53cd0d_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="nikkiweddinggroup1-1"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817682096/" title="nikkiweddinggroup1-2 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3480/5817682096_d4d8b531ac_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="nikkiweddinggroup1-2"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817134225/" title="nikkiweddinggroup1-5 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2655/5817134225_7041fdf203_b.jpg" width="750" height="536" alt="nikkiweddinggroup1-5"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817682196/" title="nikkiweddinggroup1-4 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/5817682196_2512ffdeaf_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="nikkiweddinggroup1-4"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817115083/" title="nikkiweddinggroup2-3 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3095/5817115083_e9a68cae8c_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="nikkiweddinggroup2-3"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5817707080/" title="nikkiweddinggroup2-4 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2309/5817707080_c90778b15f_b.jpg" width="750" height="561" alt="nikkiweddinggroup2-4"></a>Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552847628912979408.post-68668426653819756522011-06-06T12:19:00.000-07:002011-06-06T14:20:05.639-07:00This day was beautiful<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5805418291/" title="trees-may4 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5273/5805418291_4d9169c5b3_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="trees-may4"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5805418377/" title="trees-may5 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2133/5805418377_2147da7660_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="trees-may5"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5805977578/" title="trees-may2 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2216/5805977578_650eab10c3_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="trees-may2"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5805417839/" title="treesmay-1 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3206/5805417839_7291b940fc_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="treesmay-1"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63757622@N03/5806054014/" title="trees14 by rileysalyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2093/5806054014_aedf676238_b.jpg" width="750" height="522" alt="trees14"></a>Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552847628912979408.post-53376275892667082832011-04-05T04:10:00.000-07:002011-04-05T05:04:44.936-07:00focus<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/5591019921/" title="springfocus1 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5270/5591019921_d2110140a1_b.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="springfocus1"></a><br /><br />Hello.

Some poems catch your breath and needle into your heart. The book with this poem fell off the shelf onto this page while I was packing. It has been sitting in my pocket for a few days now.<br />Enjoy the weather this weekend.

Especially in this room, it pours in and eases even the hardest of days. I don't get to spend enough time in this room, so I decided in the two months i have left in this house to move more of my son's playthings into this room..now we can both "work" and I can take advantage of the haven I have right here.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4620759595/" title="guestroom-2 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/4620759595_daaa70fa29_o.jpg" width="748" height="542" alt="guestroom-2" /></a>Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552847628912979408.post-76524016981879833282010-05-18T14:14:00.000-07:002010-05-19T03:29:25.799-07:00Wait...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4619332409/" title="garden-fern by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4619332409_b68ab8b772_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="garden-fern" /></a><br />some things just take their time unfurling.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4621369230/" title="gardenferns-2 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4621369230_3b31ff4df3_o.jpg" width="749" height="484" alt="gardenferns-2" /></a>Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552847628912979408.post-24122151424155724852010-05-17T12:15:00.000-07:002010-05-18T07:01:52.619-07:00Time to move house...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4615829763/" title="mynewhouse by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4615829763_a88c5ac294_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="mynewhouse" /></a><br />He has informed me that it's time to move house...ours is old and has "cracks in the ceiling and sharks in the walls".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4616445460/" title="mynewhouse-1 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4616445460_cf9eab628f_o.jpg" width="750" height="560" alt="mynewhouse-1" /></a><br />This is our new one, built to withstand giant storms.Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552847628912979408.post-82954524575645988362010-05-17T06:30:00.000-07:002010-05-17T06:34:37.887-07:00Monday...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4614830505/" title="hortus-pinkflower by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3400/4614830505_e7d0d2204b_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="hortus-pinkflower" /></a><br />Have a glorious week.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4614830625/" title="hortus-purpleflower by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3362/4614830625_923d5a5cc7_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="hortus-purpleflower" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4614830731/" title="hortus-2 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4614830731_865b7e6c19_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="hortus-2" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/40051798@N08/4615449380/" title="hortus-1 by Riley Salyards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4615449380_4e9b961369_o.jpg" width="750" height="499" alt="hortus-1" /></a>Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05425997233411993852noreply@blogger.com4
