AfterBurnularity | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2011/09/23/afterburnularity

Fun Quotes & Words. For weeks I’ve been telling myself I should have finished this post by now. I think I’m still trying to decide how I feel about having gone to Burning Man. Maybe I should just list a bunch of random thoughts. I suspect you can only really know what it’s like by going. I’m glad I went. I met totally awesome people at my camp. I had several deep and meaningful conversations with new friends; that is one of the things I look forward to in this community. Adding to that, I found the weath...

Butterflies | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2012/07/01/butterflies

Fun Quotes & Words. Last week I held a tarantula named Rosie. A friend and I heard of this hairy possibility a few weeks earlier and decided to visit her at the Butterfly Pavilion. I guess it just had the urchin to do it. Incidentally, a friend from high school posted yesterday about both a bee and a butterfly landing on him. That made me smile 🙂. July 1, 2012.

Twigs in Your Sandbox | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2012/04/13/twigs-in-your-sandbox

Fun Quotes & Words. Twigs in Your Sandbox. My Mom recently shared some little anecdotes from when I was kid. I found this one rather sweet:. I got to overthinking about this from all sorts of angles. Unsolicited twigs, ungrateful little girl. No wonder I sometimes get reluctant to give them out to people. But then, who wants a whole load of twigs anyway? It’s just me and my twigs in there. Sometimes I can’t see the tree for all its twigs. April 13, 2012. April 13, 2012. Is this the kind of sand in my box?

It’s My Birthday and I Won’t Let It Rain On My Parade If I Don’t Want It To | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2012/06/02/its-my-birthday-and-i-wont-let-it-rain-on-my-parade-if-i-dont-want-it-to

Fun Quotes & Words. It’s My Birthday and I Won’t Let It Rain On My Parade If I Don’t Want It To. My birthday was on Wednesday. I spent most of that day driving from Amarillo Texas back to Lafayette Colorado after attending Burning Flipside just outside Austin. Amarillo City is a strange place, full of false advertising and unwelcome propositioning, so perhaps overnighting there means you carry some of that strangeness with you when you leave. I know I will! Quite possibly not. But then, I probably wo...

Zonal Flow | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2013/03/24/zonal-flow

Fun Quotes & Words. A couple weeks ago I kidnapped myself and took me to Southern California. The initial reason for my trip was to do trail work on Santa Cruz Island, but as it happened I also got to spend a bit of time in Newport Beach with a couple of close friends. When I lived in California I did hundreds of hours of trail maintenance with the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council. In addition to the work there were a few other memorable island moments: A hike up to Montanon Ridge, a view of Potato ...

Perfectly Imperfect | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2014/01/19/perfectly-imperfect

Fun Quotes & Words. Last night was the first time I performed solo on aerial fabric. First night performing on fabric in a club environment with throbbing electronic music. That was a little more distracting than I expected, while also being as absolutely wonderful as expected. I like this 2:3 ratio, maybe I will assess every future performance like this. I bought my own 10′ tall rig a few weeks ago for my apartment. I let down my fabric and played a bit tonight, not because I had to, but just ...

California Dreamin’ | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2013/03/12/california-dreamin

Fun Quotes & Words. I flew to LAX yesterday for a week. I’m expecting fresh air on my trip, yet I’m afraid I won’t be able to breathe. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake southwest of LA shook things up 1 minute after my flight landed. I didn’t feel it. I planned this trip in January, at the same time I had a strange burning desire of unknown origin to move to Boston. The coast was calling, and I picked the other one. March 12, 2013. March 12, 2013.

Pennycat | Liz Baumann

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2011/10/11/pennycat

Fun Quotes & Words. I wrote this about a week ago for some friends in L.A. who had a new cat visit them and win over their hearts. Pennycat ended up with their daughter and family and is doing great – and they all enjoyed the poem! Penny for your thoughts,. Where did you come from? Can’t help but wonder that. With those big green eyes. Charming us with your purr. And to our surprise. We caved in quickly. Even Bruno is adjusting. We couldn’t leave you sickly. And you seemed so trusting. October 11, 2011.

http://www.lizbaumann.com/2011/06/06/cool-hot-springs-kayaking-on-the-colorado

Fun Quotes & Words. Cool Hot Springs: Kayaking on the Colorado. This past weekend I traveled from my home near Boulder, Colorado to the Colorado River in Boulder Canyon, on the Nevada / Arizona border just below Hoover Dam. My cousin Tracy, an expert at cramming what normal people consider “vacations” into short weekends, planned this glorious outing a couple months back, and I happily accepted her invitation to come along! Here’s a brief description of our journey, followed by a galleria of photos.
