a walk where we live

to celebrate our extra hour of daylight, and the 55 degree weather this evening, we took a walk. i brought along the camera for some more practice, and i think i'm getting better! coop is still pretty reluctant on a leash, but he's getting there. this walk is definitely the first of many. we have a pretty awesome neighborhood, and i'm really taking to the lines of town homes, each with a different wreath on the door. herriman is home.

 

oh, you know. just sporting the men's la sportiva Quantum's. what can i say? they have exceptionally narrow soles, made for skinny feet just like mine! 

 

oh, hey! it's our house! (excuse the empty apple crate. it's waiting for some love)

five things

can you believe it's march already? for the first time in awhile, i'm actually looking forward to the upcoming time change, just so i can have a little more daylight! it will mean a lot of great things around here. we spent our weekend skiing at Deer Valley again, because we just didn't get enough last time we went! it was fun to have the day all to ourselves, and Devin was lucky enough to borrow some skis that Blue House custom made for Momentum. They are awesome and he loved it! the weather was absolutely perfect - it was so sunny and warm! we got in a good 5 hours, had some delicious, overpriced resort lunch, and ended the day with me taking a pretty bad fall. a few big bruises, but i'm okay! the snow got really heavy and slushy by the afternoon, so we were okay to leave after that. after skiing, we went down to Momentum to the premier of "Project American Fork" - a new and long awaited rock climbing movie. It was a lot of fun to see friends and learn more about AF's climbing history. anyway, devin's been letting me use his fancy camera for my shop, and i've resolved to become a decent and knowledgeable photographer. so here's five things / some photo practice. and yes, i'm aware that three out of five of these things are my dog. he's a pretty good model to practice with. oh, and he's freakin adorable.
