Morrow Mountain pt. 2

On another trip to the mountain, my friend and I were completely rained out. It'd been pouring pretty hard on the drive up, but we thought it might clear up upon our arrival. It did, but only off and on, so I only was able to snap a shot of the top view. We began hiking in a light drizzle, heard thunder and smelled the subsequent burning of a lightning strike, and it began to pour again, so we essentially ran back out. On the drive back, we stopped by some interesting buildings.

When the truth is found to be lies.

I went through my photos and found a bunch from my last trip to North Carolina that I never posted.

There are a whole bunch more on my Flickr.










We went blueberry picking. Which, contrary to what Jim Gaffigan says, is totally badical. I want to live closer to farms here so I can pick all the fresh fruit growing this summer.


We made fresh blueberry cobbler and homemade rosemary bread.






We went to the dog park. Blue is the dog in the picture above and Quixie (I'm actually unsure how his name is spelt) is the dog on the far left. They're my sister's.

Like a hitman, like a dancer.

More from my trip to North Carolina. I feel bad for my lack of posting lately. It's summer now, though, and my classes are all online. Unfortunately I no longer have internet at home. I'm currently on campus, sitting outside, enjoying the weather. Not too long ago we were still having random hail storms. So the warm weather and sunlight are much appreciated.

Some days aren't yours at all.

I went to Sedona again this year, back in November, with my hiking buddy Rochelle. It was lovely, but I was highly over dressed. I had remembered the prior year being freezing! So I wore a hoodie and a wool blazer, being prepared. I was greeted with warm weather and I was quickly regretting it. There had been a lot of rain this year, as well, so the creek had swelled so much so that I couldn't cross it, as I had done last year.

Varying states of a sunset in the Canyon. Some peeps and I had driven out to see the tower, unfortunately it was closed by the time we got there. I had been there once before, but sans camera, so I have no nice pics of the inside.

Indian Gardens pt 3

Plateau Point was another mile and a half out from Indian Gardens. My feet were killing me, but I'm so glad I still went. It had some beautiful views on the way back. There were so many shades of green in one place, it was amazing. Because of the rain, there had actually been some water run off, and a few water-falls!

Indian Gardens pt 2

I'm going to be splitting this into three posts, probably. There were some really awesome shots of all the different trees and shades of green on my way back from Plateau Point. These were in the heart of Indian Gardens. Such a beautiful, quiet place. Listening to the birds and the wind and crickets. We watched the meteor shower. It was scattered about the sky. Someone would see one, we'd turn and of course it'd be gone, and there wouldn't be one in that direction again. I saw a few really good ones, and a very large one several days later. It was amazing. The skies here are so gorgeous. The light and pollution-filled big cities are nothing compared to out here. You can see stars everywhere, so clearly. It's too bad I can't photograph well at night. If I could capture some of those views of stars, oh man.

There are tons more on my flickr.
