Illusion

If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

Mountains and Love




I miss the Blue Ridge mountains when I don't live in VA. It's almost as if I have the opposite of claustrophobia when it comes to the landscape... I almost feel exposed or something without them. So Ryan and I went out this weekend to see if we could find some pretty fall colors to photograph in the mountains, and we didn't come up with a whole lot, but I had fun playing with a couple of them, as you can see.

I love these mountains, but I grew up with them settled into the background of my life, and didn't fully appreciate them until I was gone for a while for the first time. Lately I've been trying to be thankful for so many things that I love, especially the people who love me too. I couldn't imagine being surrounded by better friends or family right now, and I hope I never take that for granted. I hope I never let them settle into the background.

Was that profound or ridiculous? Sometimes that line is thinly blurred... All I know is that my DVR is getting full and it's time to stop being serious and watch something funny.
