Best Of
August 18, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff
It’s looming over my head and yet my camera woke me up the other morning, calling my name.

“Psst!” my camera said. “Forgetaboutwork … I’m more fun.”

And damn if my camera wasn’t right. It was WAAAAAY more fun to walk along the Truckee River than work. And I only had to climb two fences and pass a DO NOT TRESPASS sign …

I cut my calf. Never let it be said that I don’t suffer for my art. At the time though, mostly I was worried about the scent of my blood drawing bears and coyotes oh my.

Probably I should have been more worried about where I parked, since I got a ticket.

If Alpha Man is reading this, I’m just kiddin’. Of course I wasn’t stupid enough to park in the same place I parked last time. And I most definitely wasn’t stupid enough to get yet another ticket. Probably.
And if my editor is reading this, this whole blog is a figment of your imagination because I am writing. Writing like a dog. I swear it.
On the two tickets I didn’t get …

It IS gorgeous. Tempts me just a bit to leave the big, bad city. But I like my conveniences too much LOL.

I’m thinking the bears would have been more interested in the cookies you didn’t bring on the walk you didn’t take.

Those pictures make me want to pack up right now to come take a hike in your corner of the world. I’m thinking I need to go somewhere!!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. Remember, even God rested on the seventh day. You deserve a break from work.
