As Always...

And of course there is this....  
 

And this....

Until she has had enough and needs to be carried back...

Also Because...

...you need to have a random dance party in the parking lot after a fancy dinner.

And then have wings and beer for dessert....plus spend more time with these rings...

Just Because...

...it had been too long since we all saw each other... 

Tough not to feel small and insignificant when looking at these falls!

View from the top!

Easter!

There is an abundance of pictures but these just sum up the day....

Colors.....

Begin Again...

These have been on repeat since I saw the movie a few weeks ago.....

Beep, Beep, Clunk...

Was told that the look on my face when I spotted the car was like a kid on Christmas...

Long Pond...

Saturday's hike ended up being a bit longer than originally planned but good conversation with great company always makes the miles go by quickly!

Could not stop taking pictures of the burnt water wheel...was just drawn to it.

Ages...

Watched the "Age of Adaline" and the scene with the photo album of dogs is still making me cry.  Out of all scenes, this is the one that I keep going back to when talking about the movie.


It's as simple as her going through the pages of a photo album and at the end she adds the picture of the most recent addition.  And it drives home the point that she has outlived about 20 dogs - they have all passed away and she remains unchanged. 
 
Yeah sure, there was an indoor drive in movie theater but the album with the dogs!!

Loops...

And now that the excitement has died down, I keep having this repeating in my head...




Especially the "we all need someone we can bleed on" lyric.


Help was there when I needed it....but I was also giving help.  It can go on and loop in so many different directions as more connections click....

 

Reflecting...

Been trying to figure out how to sort through the past weekend's events.....let's just go with...


This could have been the last picture that I ever took.

Jack Daniels is an evil drink and there could have had a way, way, way worse ending.  Very grateful for those that came to help with all sides of the situation. 

This little dog really worries about me when I'm gone.

Hashtags...

Last Week's View....

Very different from my current office view! 

Downward View...

A third of the shared secret brigade....

Quote...

“I love them.” I held out my left hand. On my ring finger was an oval ruby surrounded with diamonds. “I never take it off.”  It was a family heirloom that I treasured.

“Papa told me you once said every ruby is a frozen drop of human blood preserved forever as a jewel, and that if we could unlock the secret of how to turn it back into blood, we would have the key to immortality.”

The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M.J. Rose

Ahoy!

Me hearties...

Mine....

It has a V so it has to be mine, right?

Only Slightly Wild...

The inception shot...

(I climbed that!)

(Climbed that one too!)

Two Days of Lake Pix...

Same lake over the course of 2 days... 

Two Days Of Ice Close Ups...

Frozen Waterfalls...

 

Risking life and limb to get pix....
