still a teenager, growing up on the gulf coast of Florida (actually really nice, but too warm for my taste)..
used to go camping and hiking up in beautiful mountains all along the west coast (yosemite and a lot of colorado, especially).
lots of old pictures.

promised myself i'll get into that again someday (and i certainly will).

also plan on having a garden.

Sick pics on the last page. Fall is probably my favorite time of year. I'm missing out on it because of too much time at school and the stomach flu :( .

Going on a holiday tomorrow morning with my family. First, to the blue ridge mountains in Tennessee, then the blue ridge mountains in Virginia. The whole thing will span over 2 weeks and we'll do a lot of hiking and such. And I am defiantly going to listen to some fleet foxes. I might post some pictures too. Seeya twoism!

Only my first day of hiking. More to come.
Hiked all day on a long ass trail (17 miles down and back) but the sheer majestic and rugged beauty made up for it

Thunderstorms across my area of the country today, been raining and thundering for about 2 hours now - so nice after the ridiculous humidity last night.

the weather in wales has been beautiful the past few days...nothing like exploring in sunny weather. the photograph above was taken a few miles from my house...past an old church, that leads down into the valley (where the image was taken) and then leads to a hidden little beach...

Ugh... I remember when I was like 10 exploring in a place that reminds me of that, Bleak... so divinely beautiful, because I had no idea I was heading towards a beach, it was just an awesome walk with a natural pathway cleared for me. I can still remember the sound of water it had. A memorable walk, that was...

I should get outside today, a few clouds without it being rainy for once. I still haven't taken my camera to most of the area behind my house.
