TGIF

jump
This is how I feel about friday, I am so ready for the weekend! Haha I love this shot. Court and I were on our trip up the mountain and pulled off to explore a bit and we decided to do some fun jumping shots. We worked out a plan where we would watch over each others shoulders for cars flying in our direction. We had a couple close calls but we survived and had lots of fun in the process.

Every time I am taking in the majesty of a mountain range or even a beautiful set of rolling hills I often find myself wondering what I may find on the other side. We were driving down an old country road when we spotted an old truck sitting in the midst of these awesome hills and we just had to stop to walk around.

I had an amazing time in Tennessee, I already miss my BFF and the mountains. We spent a lot of time exploring all the different mountains. Stopping to take pics every once in a while. I wish I could have taken more but I did get a few that I will be sharing throughout the week. I hope you enjoy them and that you can get a small glimpse into what I love.

Tomorrow morning I will be in a big metal bird surrounded by big fluffy clouds on my way to the beautiful state of Tennessee. I'm spending a couple days with my best friend Courtney, hopefully I will get to take lots of pics to share when I get back. Have a great weekend!

It's amazing how light can shine behind something and make its beauty even more evident. It brings out details and colors, it shows hidden textures and depth. I love the feeling of being captured by new beauty.

There is nothing like a soft rolling field of blue. The kind of peace you get just sitting and being. Letting the wind wash over you. I love this kind of retreat.

doggy daydreams

fire hydrant
You ever wonder what it's like for a dog to see a fire-hydrant? I do. I can't imagine the thoughts they must have and I don't understand the attraction. But I am pretty sure the smell is what draws them...I think when they smell all the others that have been there before them they are filled with the desire to be a part of something bigger than themselves, to keep the train moving. HAHAHA. That's what I think and I am stickin with it.

This was the view from my front porch this evening. The colors were so vibrant. It was a great end to a warm day.

Being that I've been a little under the weather, I haven't gotten to go out and take pictures and my bedroom isn't all that interesting. So here are some pics from a couple of days ago...I took them on my way home from work, I love how every day the sky is brand new. It never looks the same.
