Full moon in the valley

Well folks, this winter season got the best of me. It went a lot like this: work, sleep, party, ski. And there wasn't enough time for much else! That is why these pictures of a full moon, which happened in February, are just now getting posted.  These were taken right outside my apartment around midnight. The f-stop was at f22 and the shutter was on Bulb for right around 5 minutes. The light off of the moon was so magnificent. Also, if you look hard enough, you can see a little bit of star and cloud movement.

the best sunday

Sunday was a great day. I got off work early. Luke got an awesome job as a sandwich maker at one of my favorite spots in Telluride. I skied for the first time in my life (it was awesome!). After skiing I had the apartment to myself and decided to set up Christmas decorations, listen to holiday music, and eat mint M&Ms. The best Sunday.

Hikes & Thoughts

I've been feeling a little out of my element - feeling like my boot stompin' self does better near a city. I have been missing the energy of a fast paced life and I've been missing having a Target closer than 1hr away. Luckily, a few hikes and a game of Cards Against Humanity with new friends helped change my mind. I'm beginning to think that spending a year a little off the grid might be just what I need.

I wanted to share some photos from my hikes last week. You can see how the seasons are a little confused here. One hike was so reminiscent of wintertime, whereas the second hike was right on cue with fall. Personally, I'm digging the fall colors. I still have yet to satisfy my pumpkin flavored everything craving, so I'm glad I have a little more fall left!
