Joy's Odds N' Ends

2006-01-18T12:09:00.001-08:00

This looks surreal! The lake amidst two hills inside ORNL campus.

2006-01-18T12:09:00.000-08:00

me looking on.

2006-01-18T11:14:00.000-08:00

Jenn, the avid photographer. She is using an antique camera. It's from the 1950s. We are in the ORNL graveyard near the main campus.

2006-01-18T11:12:00.000-08:00

Another one with Jenn

2006-01-18T11:10:00.000-08:00

Rachel and I. Rachel's the geek cum cheerleader mythbuster. It can happen ;).

2006-01-18T11:08:00.000-08:00

The female geeks (minus 3). Uber-intelligent, and pretty.

The entire ORNL intern group

2006-01-18T11:06:00.000-08:00

Jenn and I before our jazz dance and dinner

Macro shot of water drops on leaves and pods after rain inside ORNL.

2005-11-03T12:40:00.000-08:00

Red peas with a pumpkin backdrop. Happy Halloween! I took this picture with the macro mode in my Canon Powershot A80.

2005-11-03T12:37:00.000-08:00

The fog and the hills inside ORNL. We were accused of suspicious activity for pausing in the middle of the road to take this picture. However, it was worth it.

2005-11-03T12:35:00.000-08:00

A ray of light from heaven. I love the ray of sunshine peering through the clouds. This is reminscent of life. There is happiness, even amidst great sadness.

2005-11-03T12:34:00.000-08:00

Fushcia sky. Wee hours of the morning at Oak Ridge, TN.

2005-11-03T12:33:00.000-08:00

Rachel, Khush and I.

2005-10-17T12:16:00.001-07:00

Khush and I at a bar in Knoxville. This was the first bar we've done at Knoxville with the three girls.

2005-10-17T12:16:00.000-07:00

Jenn and I. On my 22nd.

2005-10-17T12:15:00.001-07:00

The group. Or most of it anyway.

2005-10-17T12:15:00.000-07:00

Rachel and I at Ruby Tuesdays for my 22nd birthday. We had a big group dinner and they picked up my tab and Tio bought me a beer. It was sweet.

2005-10-17T12:14:00.000-07:00

Brother in arms. At the Pasta Trio, our new favorite Italian restaraunt at Knoxville. That night was $85 with the wine ($32 Cabernet Sauvignon), and the food for the both of us.

2005-10-17T12:13:00.000-07:00

Robi at the diner with James and I for brunch. He visited me for a couple of nights and it was a lot of fun. We hadn't hung out since I left for Italy.

2005-10-17T12:12:00.000-07:00

Guess what's wrong with this picture?

2005-10-17T12:11:00.000-07:00

Rachel and I. We normally go to Applebees to share drinks but their drinks are pretty expensive. Nothing to get drunk off because they don't add much alcohol to the mixed drinks.

2005-10-17T12:10:00.000-07:00

Camera shy Callie. The picture is still pretty cool. The rest of the face is left up to your imagination.

2005-10-17T12:09:00.000-07:00

Khush and James during one of our Fridays at Applebees.

A group pic of the bbq-ers (ORNL interns) from October 1, 2005.

2005-10-04T20:30:00.000-07:00

The water looks rather unique. Must be the waste that pours into this lake from the surrounding areas.

2005-10-04T20:28:00.000-07:00

Clark Lake by ORNL.

2005-10-04T20:26:00.001-07:00

The menu at the apple cider mill bakery

2005-10-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

This is broken. All are welcome and then it says no admission?

2005-10-04T20:22:00.001-07:00

All lit up

2005-10-04T20:22:00.000-07:00

More lit up balloons. There really isn't much to describe these.

2005-10-04T20:21:00.000-07:00

Synchronous balloons with music

2005-10-04T20:20:00.000-07:00

2005-09-23T10:33:00.000-07:00

Ari Hest and me!! He is so freaking tall! I love his music, mellow and calming. And of course, I got his autograph.

2005-09-17T14:21:00.000-07:00

2005-09-13T11:01:00.001-07:00

2005-09-13T11:01:00.000-07:00

Up and down!

A picture of us at the top of our hike.

2005-09-09T11:28:00.001-07:00

I saw this while sitting and eating lunch at the top of our hike. A macro shot.

2005-09-09T11:28:00.000-07:00

That's a candid of Jenn taking a picture of the waterfall. She has a vintage SLR which is awesome!

2005-09-09T11:27:00.000-07:00

Jenn waiting for me to get to the spot so that she could take my picture

2005-09-09T11:26:00.000-07:00

Our hiking group by the waterfalls. I had to run back to them after setting the 10 sec timer. Jumping over rocks and tree trunks was exhilarating!

2005-09-09T11:25:00.001-07:00

Water striders! well, you can't really see them but you can see the ripples they make

2005-09-09T11:25:00.000-07:00

a small waterfall

2005-09-09T11:24:00.000-07:00

What am I pointing to?

2005-09-09T11:23:00.000-07:00

Me and the waterfalls at the trail by the campsite

2005-09-09T11:22:00.000-07:00

and the last one..

2005-09-09T11:21:00.002-07:00

and another

2005-09-09T11:21:00.001-07:00

hehe..another caterpillar

2005-09-09T11:21:00.000-07:00

Do you see the black butterflies by the red wild flowers

2005-09-09T11:19:00.000-07:00

This is a cool picture. I particularly like this.

2005-09-09T11:18:00.000-07:00

And of course the B&W version. No signs of technology!

2005-09-09T11:17:00.000-07:00

A zoomed out pic of the campsite. The tiny tent that 4 of us boys slept in is the white one.

2005-09-09T11:16:00.000-07:00

Our campsite

2005-09-09T11:15:00.001-07:00

And the black and white version of the previous picture..

2005-09-09T11:15:00.000-07:00

It was a toss up for the colored version vs the black and white I took of this scenery. I have more lit up versions but this slightly darker picture is more intriguing. Jenn found this and I tagged along with her to take pictures.

2005-09-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

And i promise this is the last picture of the furry as he is escaping
