Walk a Mile in My Boots

These boots have walked countless miles.

They have been all over Colorado, California, South Dakota and all over between. They have crossed glaciers, wandered through many forest paths, soaked in many rivers and creeks, summited mountains, covered in desert sands...

They have been my favorite boots for over 12 years!

I hope to put many more miles in these boots.

I'm ready for another good hike or camping trip in these boots, but until then, they will help me shovel the snow off the driveway, and keep my feet warm in the freezing cold.

Waiting For April

There are many reasons why I am waiting for April. This winter has been especially hard on me. The weather has been very extreme. Many days with fog, snow storms, blizzards, arctic blasts of cold, and many MANY grey overcast, cloudy days.

Life has thrown me a few challenges lately, and i am standing to them, conquering them. I continue on my path, but it's a slightly different path than i originally set out with. That is fine. I am still going to enjoy the views.

I digress, I am looking forward to April. For several reasons. April is usually when things start to turn green again. the sky is usually blue. Storms come and go. Regrowth. Renewal. Rebirth.
My birthday is in April. I have a bittersweet feeling towards my birthday, but this year, i choose to celebrate it. :) Soon after my birthday, i am packing up my camera gear, my favorite road trippin' tunes, and i am heading out of dodge! Mini Road Trip, through the Kansas Landscape. It will be good for the soul! Singing at the top of my lungs. Mooing at the cows. Windows down. Stop to photograph any old barn or decaying cabin, if i want. When I get to my destination, I will be meeting over 100 other photographers. Many of whom i have been online friends for several years. Many I respect greatly. Many I just want to meet and have a drink with. hahaha! I am taking a few photo classes. This excites me, because I have so much I want to learn. That's one thing I love about Photography. You can always learn something new. I am excited to expand my horizons. This mini vacation is the only DEFINITE thing in my life right now. A Definite thing to look forward to. So much of my life, as of late, has been changed, and I have found it hard to make any definite plans with anything/anyone.

so as i look forward to April, and wait out Winter, I will document things i have done, or life, now.
Many of these photos may not mean much to you, but they reflect my now. as i look forward to Spring. As I wait for April.

Cold Days

Late nights, writing in my journal, with my music, phone, books and computer.

The Sun came out today. Though it was SO COLD, we sat in the sunshine, and soaked it in.

Spencer snapped this. I didn't know he hit the shutter again. :)
