Until then.....
Let's see.....where were we? Ah yes we were exiting the first viewing balcony! This place was so fascinating to me because there were so many types of trees and life around. So different from what is growing at home! It's exciting for me to see different trees as trees are my love. Speaking of which, lets appreciate this one... And it just kept getting better and more beautiful! I loved this place so much it had everything I loved to photograph! It was so peaceful and quite here, just us and nature and thats how I like it! That's how I would like to live always! And someday I will. Away from all the annoying people of society, no social media, no customers oh yes it will be heaven. As we walked further down the path we stumbled across a few waterfalls! I was so excited I spent over 45 minutes photographing the first one. Which included me climbing, sliding and jumping to get to the top to photograph it from a different perspective. I do what I have to do to get the shot! My beautiful shot I worked so hard to get! I love it. You rarely see falls from this perspective so I am proud of it. Well, that is all for now! Part 3 will be coming soon :)
Until then.....

Oh my favorite day of the week :) Mom, Chris and I decided to make a day trip up north to a place Chris had discovered last weekend. I was excited of course to go up north and go somewhere totally different. It sure didn't disappoint, which is part of the reason this post will be broken down into parts. I have too many awesome pictures to fit into one post. So here we go with what I've gotten done today! My feet enjoying some fresh air and freedom from feet prison aka shoes. Our first stop was a place we were scoping out to do some star photography later on that night. We stopped there and enjoyed some fresh air and the water for awhile before hitting the road again. After this we kept heading toward our second destination but hit some beautiful and interesting spots along the way. First we ran into a store that also had several intersting animals in enclosures out front. I of course was infatuated with the BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIC foxes. pffftttt....I'm not crying from their cuteness, who is crying? After I stopped having a heart attack over the foxes, we took off for next destination. This place was beyond beautiful and I will only show you the beginning of it in this post. First of all let me say..HOLY STAIRS!!!!! So many stair to go down/up. It is soooo worth the work out though. This was the first of a few viewing balconies. It was so peaceful and breathtaking except for the stupid other people there talking about how some guy splatted on their car from a building. Classy thanks for sharing douche bags. Anyways...back to the beauty I'll have to leave you with these beautiful photographs for today. More tomorrow I promise ;)
Before I begin on this post let me preface this by saying I have been sick for a week and running fevers nonstop hence lack of posts. This would NOT stop me from seeing this free Breaking Benjamin show since I wasn't lucky enough to get tickets to the show later on tonight. The wait in the bar for the show to begin was agonizing. My social anxiety, fevers and starvation were not helping. Then of course, the assholes of the hour decided to all try to cut ahead and skip the line! Didn't work did it assholes? Anyways......I was under the impression that the show was gonna start at 5 but hey, Ben does what Ben wants. Mom was about ready to get in fist fights with line cutters especially one that had the nerve to say she was here waaaaay before us blah blah blah. My hatred of humanity was pretty sky high at this point. Then it was time to go upstairs. I had no idea what to expect. I would have NEVER expected to be within arms length of the stage and have Ben talk to me! WHAT? Craziness. He kept telling me to take his picture and I was like what me? It must have been the cold dead eyes staring at me that had me so confused. Ben seemed all happy and jolly until there was some technical difficulties with guitars...then the cold dead eyes came out! RUN!!! haha just kidding (maybe) I was so excited to be able to see them play live so close up. It will probably never happen again and I cherished it. I knew it wouldn't be a long set but I was pleased with it! They played Angels Fall, Until the End and Failure. Holy shit, I felt Failure deep in my soul it was sooooooo cool too hear it and be right there. Amazing. ONE DAY I WILL HEAR DEAR AGONY LIVE AND IT WILL BE FANTASTIC ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!!! Today was not that day but that is okay! Excuse the fact that these were taken on my cell phone! I didn't want to waste my short time of the show fiddling with my camera. Here are the few I did get on my camera I thought it was really cool that they all were playing even though it was just an acoustic set. I figured it would be two acoustic guitars tops, not a bass, guitars and a drum! It was incredible. Here is the moment the cold dead eyes took over my camera and turned Ben into some kind of ghost. Super interesting photo Let's not forget the fact that I shook Ben's hand 3 times hahaha! Awesome! It seems so unreal but I will always remember it. Thanks BB and 89x you guys rock.
I don't know why I never got around to a Saturday Adventure post last weekend, nor an XICW post, and now I'm behind on a hair post. So we'll put them all in one. Last Saturday Mom and I went for a walk in the rain, we didn't care. I love the rain and I kept my camera inside of my hoodie so it was safe. It was so relaxing and reviving to feel the cool rain on me in the woods. The place we went to originally was INCREDIBLY lame so we decided to find another place to go. The second destination was much more satisfying<3 Essentially meaning it had lots of badass gorgeous trees and these young ladies :) Skip forward to Sunday which was XICW. I feel like I took some of the best wrestling pictures of my life that night. It was so cool to be so excited about these photographs. Here are a few of my favorites. I'm so stoked at how they turned out so well. I guess focusing and really getting in the zone makes a big difference haha.
Soooooooooooooo I decided it was time for a hair change! I left green to rest til another time and went to my favorite color and one of my favorite hair colors! I had to have two shades so light purple on bottom and deep purple on top. Nothing makes me happier or feel more creative than a rainy day. The gloomier the better. I never get tired of rain, I love it always no matter what. I get so overjoyed when it starts to rain, and everyone looks at me like I am psychotic. Well, I may be, but my rain love isn't why. These are some of my favorite pictures I have taken in a while. They are so me. My style my feelings my emotions. And here is one happy cheerful one for all of you weird bright people....
Hooray Saturday finally came. It was even more exciting because it was my only day off of work this week. I wanted to get out and get some nature pictures so Mom and I drove over an hour away to a good park. Car rides with the windows down and good music playing are my favorite thing. When we arrived there were quite a few families there (Eww) since it was the holiday weekend. I wanted to get away from the loud obnoxious families so I walked over to this little scum pond to look for frogs or turtles. At first I didn't see anything but then I spotted this little guy just chilling He was a cool little fella, he let me get really close to him to take this pic :D Thanks buddy. After hanging w this little slimy guy we started to walk on the trail to be stopped by a group of stupid people watching cranes. I was happy to be able to take their picture but nooooooo....These people did not control their kids and they chased the cranes away. Come on people, these things could have destroyed your kid, learn to be a parent please. After the ignorant people left the cranes came right back out and walked right in front of us, completely unafraid. Every couple of feet we would walk down this trail, a chipmunk would run in front of us. They would get really close but I wasn't taking my chances of it eating my face or my camera lol. I've seen too many videos of such things. Further along in the trail, we came across the horrendous hill that I made a very vicious tumble down the last time we were there. I was having flashbacks of smacking my head on the rocks and flipping over tearing up my entire back. Not fun. This hill is NOT MY FRIEND Walking in the woods is just so peaceful and relaxing. I could stay in the woods forever and never become unhappy If anyone needs me, I'll be hiding in the woods away from society...
It has been a loooooongggggg week and I haven't had a chance to get out and take any pictures since Saturday. So, I decided to go through old memory cards and see if there was anything worth posting. I found my long lost WWE pictures from 2013 that I have been searching for. Helllllllooooooo :D What a find ;D I'll keep my fangirling to a minimum. Okay okay, getting a little carried away here....onto the next memory card. Aww look how cute, Mom and I on my graduation :) and me.......with LONG BLONDE hair...haha what a change Well that's a wrap on Flashback Friday....
