If you’ve been following me on Twitter (@aurinth), you probably have heard me rambling on about a new venture of mine, among other things. While I do so love to engage myself in the written word, I also have a passion for photography – you’ve undoubtedly seen bits and pieces of my work scattered here [...]

While many of you may have been living the good and bountiful life the past little while, I can assure you spring is only just recently hitting Michigan…this past week marked the first time it’s stayed consistently and comfortably above freezing even in the darkest hours since winter kicked off. Naturally, I’ve been loving it. [...]

Last week, if you weren’t aware, we here in Michigan experience a little phenomenon we like to call “Fake Spring.” It wouldn’t say it’s commonplace, but it happens often enough that while we are still terribly confused by its appearance, I doubt there’s anyone out there really protesting at this point. So what is fake [...]

This is, notwithstanding, the twilight fading hour– all gold things brown with age and light; no more. * My latest contribution to the wonderful One Shot Poetry Wednesdays! The style used here is known as Cinquain, a five-line stanza form containing twenty-two syllables, in the sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 2. The form was invented [...]
A Cold Winter’s Night

I’m sure you all heard the hype this week: Snow. Snow! SNOW! It was on everyone’s lips – at least across the Midwest. Even Twitter succumbed to a frenzy of fun names for it: “Snowpocalypse,” “Snomageddon,” “Snowprah’s Big Giveaway,” and the like. Weather.com predicted up to 16 inches rolling across my own fair section of [...]
Of Appearance
Posted in Photography, Quote of the Week, tagged Appearances, Chris Galford, Clothes make the man, Human, Humanity, Judgment, Me, Neil Gaiman, Observations, People, Photography, Photos, Quotations, Quotes, Sandman, Shallow, Thoughts, Wisdom on February 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »
For how many years have you been told the old adage, “The clothes make the man”? This week, appearances are the topic for our little dose of wisdom. Brought about by seeing several poignant examples over the course of the past week of truly small-minded people treating others cruelly for things inherently shallow. Certainly, it [...]
A Winter’s Walk down the Lansing River Trail

In Lansing, the capitol of Michigan, lies a trail for bikers and hikers alike. The Lansing River Trail is an approximately 13-mile trail through urban and rural stretches alike, lying in the shadows of Lansing’s bustling streets, twisting through masses of deep-rooted forests, rising up in boardwalks or smoothed out in easy footpaths, and all [...]
A Winter Checklist, for Michigan

Checklist for a Michigan Winter: 1. Thick coat. Get your dang Northface out of here. 2. Boots. Preferably fluffy. Leather also good. Steel-toed = best. 3. Thermal socks. Because your normal whities just aren’t gonna cut it, sweetheart. 4. Scarf. Because that floppy little hood you’re wearing is just the wind’s plaything. 5. Hot Cocoa. [...]

Cold…so cold. High of 14 today. Inside writing, doing my best to hide from the chill. Not as much snow as in the photo – the picture’s from back in 2009 – but the wind and the ice don’t make things any better. On the bright side, a little cocoa and some tiny marshmallows do [...]
