Spending much of my freetime prepping for this trip. Seriously the days fly by...not a fan of this aging thing.
To clarify. I really could care less about aging in terms of wrinkles and skin spots (the non-cancerous sort, of course). I'm not one to dwell on physical appearances "declining" due to age. This is a concern created by societal mind evolution. But in the whole scheme of life, doesn't really matter.
I do moisturize, though...and sunscreen is key. Especially in no ozone land.
Ok. So what gets me about aging...well, the aching joints, obviously. But the not so obvious...every year/day/hour/minute/second is a smaller fraction than it's unit just before. This explains why each year goes by more speedily :( the older we get. Last year was 1/28 - one out of twenty eight units (years) of my life. The year I turned 5, it was one out of five years, or 1/5 of my life. So it's the same measurement (a single year) for when I turned 28 and 5, though when I turned 5, it was a greater fraction of my life. It took soooooooooooooooo long to turn 6 years old. I'm telling you, turning 29 is just around the corner.
Hm, well that was an unintentional tangent. I just meant to post some photos of my recent gardening ventures for the gardens surrounding my current home...and a few more forest run snapshots Lovely flower and plant representations are due to super-macro wonders, and my uber skill, of course. Black and white features are not due to black and white plants. They are due to my discovery of a photoshop-esque feature that apparently came with my computer. ooooooh. aaahhhhhhh.
Enjoy!

Ooooooh top secret (I photoshopped a bug out of this flower!)
So I guess rain is sometimes really really cool cause it leaves photogenic droplets like this:

K, I'm done for now. more macro mania coming too your blogland quite soon.
Steph, your photos are amazing. I always say that, but it's always true. We just went to see the Banff International Mountain Film festival. I think you ought to send in a submission of your trips. I think the world would get a kick out of your adventures in movie format. Just a thought. Glad to hear you're treckin' around in wonderful places. :) cheers!
