Yes.... That explains the obscene number of uploads. Even with the brutality of the hike and the number of times I slipped and fell on my ass on the ice... The shots I got and the view from the top made it TOTALLY worth the trip. I'm not sure how much of the beauty and aura I managed to catch, But I certainly tried. and I guess that's what counts. I really needed to get away from everything and this was a fantastic get away.

Not sure I'll be up for too much more dramatic hiking in the short term... I'll probably go on smaller excursions for the time being. If I ever figure out night mode I'd love to go and just do stars. I'd also just love to go out and find some good sunsets. They're like snowflakes to me. Very unique every time I see one, but each has its own beauty. A friend also told me the way to fix the lighting problem I'm having with the jewelery. Once the holidays are over and I know where I sit financially, I might be able to set that up and get some real decent quality pictures up of my pieces. I wish I could do it before the holidays to see if I could sell anything, but I guess that isn't going to happen. Oh well.

At least I'm staying busy. and I have lots of hours at work. If I had my way, I'd wave overtime pay so I could just work 6 or 7 days a week. I really don't need days off, I just want money. And work makes me numb. Numb is good. I hate being able to feel.
