Some didn’t like the film’s addition of the scene, but I thought it was very emotionally effective. Seeing the people’s response was powerful.</p> </blockquote> <p>You should definitely read the book. But I think the movie did a very good job of conveying the emotion from it. The addition of District 11’s reaction was incredibly well done and effective. I loved it.</p> </blockquote> <p>I loved that part too.  I was genuinely scared during it, and I wanted to know more about the people of District 11.  I couldn’t stop crying, it was amazing.</p>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/20289865027http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/20289865027Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:50:57 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt0oachdwp1qd858oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19288311356http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19288311356Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:07:25 -0400loversboygirlmanwomanmarriedcouplelovekiss<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxgliiaay81qzpv2go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://endofmarch.tumblr.com/post/15486495597/pinus-pinea-by-otchipotchi">endofmarch</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>pinus pinea (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/otchipotchi/6256885172/in/faves-endofmarch/">[ otchipotchi ]</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233033085http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233033085Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:27:05 -0400pineevergreentreepine coneneedlesbarkseedsnature<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsvxkwO4QX1qauh23o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233026163http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233026163Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:26:40 -0400manilaenvelopefolderpaperofficemailletterpost office<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0r6v5xBs71qm0bi7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://iliveinpicturesiliveindreams.tumblr.com/post/19228878550/n-e-e-d">iliveinpicturesiliveindreams</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>n e e d</p> </blockquote>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233012117http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233012117Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:25:52 -0400natural lightinteriorliving roomhousehomegreygray<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmwavtc7B01qke8zao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://youngmanandoldsoul.tumblr.com/post/19216071842/i-want-this-in-one-of-my-rooms">youngmanandoldsoul</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I want this in one of my rooms.</p> </blockquote>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233005742http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19233005742Tue, 13 Mar 2012 08:25:30 -0400mapwallinteriorworldgeography“Write the softest words<br/> and kiss them<br/> that I may at least touch my lips<br/> where yours have been.”<br/><br/> -

Lindsay is an amazing woman and happens to also be an incredibly talented make up artist! </em></p> <p><em>During the months leading up to her wedding, I learned that she and her fiancé had read the Hunger Games series together (out loud! So cute!) and when they reached the third book, he had glued the pages together, cut out a secret compartment for an engagement ring, and proposed! So, I decided to start reading the series before their wedding and am I ever glad I did! I fell in love with the stories and at our next coffee date, Lindsay and I decided we MUST plan a styled shoot inspired by the books!</em></p> <p><em>Erica Smolders of <a href="http://www.rookandrose.com/">Rook & Rose Floral Design Boutique</a>Boutique was the next talented professional to come on board and started reading the books right away to get a sense of the story. Not only did Erica create the loveliest of floral designs for the shoot, but she took on the huge task of designing our entire table – complete with food! This woman is so knowledgeable in her craft and her vision for the table, food, and floral design completely wowed me! We couldn’t have asked for a better fit for this aspect of the shoot!</em></p> </blockquote>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179934462http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179934462Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:47:22 -0400hunger gamessistersweddingbraidphotoshootmarriage“Let everything happen to you<br/> Beauty and terror<br/> Just keep going<br/> No feeling is final.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>Rainer Maria Rilke  (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://human-voices.tumblr.com/">human-voices</a>)</p> <p>i need to remember this</p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jewelweed.tumblr.com/">jewelweed</a>)</p></em>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179541492http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179541492Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:31:10 -0400Rainer maria rilkerilkefatelifehappenings<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwvj0lRTmN1r5suo5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179529047http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179529047Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:30:41 -0400canoeboatralph waldo emersonemersonwildoutdoors<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt824fCMgQ1r5040oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179510715http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179510715Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:30:01 -0400bandmusictreebanjoguitardrumart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0r6sxJG9T1qzvsqto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://justbesplendid.tumblr.com/post/19164362462/glasses-on">justbesplendid</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>glasses on</p> </blockquote>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179499561http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19179499561Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:29:31 -0400girlglassesfloralskirtlibrary<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0p202dPcK1qzx5vwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Test shot.</p>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086933385http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086933385Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:14:25 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0p1vaYCrB1qzx5vwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Love this man.</p>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086774698http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086774698Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:11:34 -0500<p>Going hiking tomorrow, while all of the students come back to town from their spring break.  I graduate less than 2 months.  The end.</p> <p>Very excited for some hiking though.  Not so much the students.  They are too loud.</p>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086571640http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086571640Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:07:00 -0500hikingstudent<p>The fog comes </p> <p>on little cat feet.</p> <p>It sits looking</p> <p>over harbor and city</p> <p>on silent haunches</p> <p>and then moves on.</p>http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086098835http://morningelegance.tumblr.com/post/19086098835Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:59:10 -0500fogcarl sandburgsandburgpoetpoetrycatkittyfeet
