Farewell to fall

‘How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.’

-Elsie N. Brady

Denver has officially had it’s first snow and I feel it’s time to say good-bye to my favorite season. I love fall. The smell of leaves, cool nights and warm days and the gorgeous colors the sun brings to life. ahhh. But everything must come to an end. A snugly blanket with a cup of hot tea is calling my name.

Blind Enthusiasm

Crazy lady says at mile 3, ‘I think we should do a half marathon in every state.’ I think sure why not! Then crazy lady at mile 12 says, ‘maybe just a 10k.’ I muster a breathless ‘yea’.

(our enthusiastic selves before the race)

Sometimes I have to learn things by putting myself through the agony of it before I’ve learned, maybe that was not a good idea. I can be very stubborn and think that I can do anything if I just set my mind to it. Which is all well and good for most things, but apparently is not when it concerns my body. And we trained, trained so much that at one point we had to stop because we both we’re having pains. You’d think that those pains would be a red flag to at least one of us…nope. We just kept on going. Meg and I have more in common then I first thought. So on race day we felt good. We’d run 10 miles several times, so what’s another 3 miles? Well I will be completely honest…I wanted to die by mile 10. My body kept saying ‘what in the hell are you doing?’ But despite the blisters on my feet, the fatigue in my legs and every inch of my body saying STOP, I keep going. It really is increatable what your body can handle when make up your mind you’re going to do it. I’m pretty sure Meghan thought I wouldn’t make it to the finish. But we did. And then I promptly got so dizzy I almost fainted.

The best part of this whole experience was by far the training. Meghan and I have run together since July and because of it have become amazing friends. Even with the height difference. I wouldn’t trade any of those runs for anything. I had to learn the hard way, but it was an amazing experience none the less and I can now say I’ve run a half marathon. And never will I run one again. Sorry Meg, but I just can’t think of a reason to run that far after I’ve done it once.

A very BIG thank you to our husbands Chad and Cody for putting up with our early morning runs and being there to support us yesterday! You both are amazing men!

still feeling good…

and we’re still at least cheerful.

And I’m going to die at the finish…notice Meg is still smiling. She could probably keep going.

Somehow still enthusiastic after.

Why is film so different then digital? Why do I swoon over it so much?? I can honestly say I love the anticipation of not knowing what’s really in the camera. And I hate waiting for anything! The excitement, even the smell of a lab makes me gitty. I think I’ve spent to many hours in a darkroom. Film captures light in such a different way then digital pixels do. It almost feels there’s a rose colored glass over everything. Everything’s so soft and radiant.

I can see the difference almost instantly, but can the average person? Maybe, maybe not. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Is it just the nostalgia of film?

Thought I’d add in the photo of my Hubs and I. He cleans up pretty good!

These next few are at the Walker Art Musuem. And it really was this yellow and incredible views of Minneapolis.

I just don’t shoot for myself often enough…it takes a vacation away from the usual to do it. But none the less I love to just shoot for the creative person in me. Sure I push to find something new and creative at every shoot, but there’s just something about shooting with no purpose in mind. It’s so therapeutic to me. It gets me out into nature or just out and with a total open mind for whatever might find itself in my path. And having a creative medium to use is just that much more intriguing and exciting. You just never know what you’re gonna get. love that. So more North Carolina is on the blog today. The beautiful model is my darling cousin Hayley, who’ll be a senior in high school this year. LOVED spending the week with girlie! You’re becoming a gorgeous women inside and out.
