Photo Friday: June 18

Whoops, I missed last week’s Photo Friday. Well, no matter, I didn’t have any decent photos to show you anyway. I’m glad I don’t have to do any strenuous blogging today because about 60% of my brain is devoted to the USA vs. Slovenia match going on right now. (And we’re sucking balls.) Summer Friday and I’m at work for 3 hours, but it’s the 3 hours during which the game is being played. >:-(

EDITED TO ADD: WHAT THE FUCK RUBBISH CALL WAS THAT? WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED. ROBBED. THAT WAS A WIN. REF NEEDS TO BE SHOT.

This week’s theme in photography appears to be Fashion and Nature. (What can I say? I like fashion.)

Shot this as I was flying back to NYC from California. The US Southwest is stunning from above.
