I was so busy today that I didn't have a chance to get super creative and/or play with pretty light. So while waiting in the exam room to see one of my specialists, I snapped this picture with my iPhone and then added a filter to it with the Instagram app. I'm always intrigued by how doctor's exam rooms are decorated. Carpet, linoleum, chair rail, uncomfortable chairs, comfy mismatched chairs, nice color schemes, ugly color schemes...they run the gamut. Today, while the decor wasn't especially attractive, I was treated to something I don't normally see in medical offices--a room with a view--of the interstate, highway, and Lowe's but whatever...it was appreciated nonetheless. I feel I should mention my boots since they take sort of center stage in the photo. I purchased these from a small footwear store in Bend, Oregon and they've been worn more times than I can count. Sadly I can't remember what brand they are and any identifying marks have been rubbed off, but I do know they are 1.) leather, and 2.) expensive (but worth it!) They have about a 1" heel which makes me feel tall and I've been known to wear them while I'm cooking since it "lowers" the counters for me to a more comfortable level. For boots they're quite comfortable--a must for me--and stylish too. I've noticed that as I grow older I am getting more and more in to shoes, but I plan to wear these boots until they fall apart. Literally.
