When I was applying to colleges three years ago I remember being struck by the ever important thought that I wanted to go somewhere with four seasons. Changing leaves and falling snow were two things I didn't want to give up while pursuing higher education. Luckily, my valley home has all four seasons. Heavy summer air hangs in the valley from May till September and reminds everyone of the need for Chacos, sweet iced tea, and a reliable repertoire of swear words. Cool autumn colors the trees as falling leaves color the hiking trails and roads. And then winter. If seasons are representative of the stages of life then winter in this valley is an agnsty teenager whose mood changes with the wind. In a week I can transition from wearing shorts and a t-shirt to jeans, layered with leggings and wool socks without having time to catch my breath in between. This week winter winds have blown in an ice storm and a fine layer of snow. I always think snow quiets the place it falls and I'm grateful for the day off and extra rest this stormy weather offered. I went out for a long hike the day classes and work were canceled and here are some snap shots from my hike: I hope today you find the time to revel in the wonder of the world around you!

Ok. A couple of things: You are in a beautiful place in your life. I'm so thankful you found your way to the valley. Also, I know your major is social work and it should stay that way BUT, seriously, consider photography as a minor? Oh. My. Goodness. Your photos are amazing. I especially like the first one. It's makes one wonder what's beyond the gate? Love this post and love you.
