Hiking

So last night me and a group of friends hiked up to Lake Catherine in Brighton...and I got photo's! After we went and roasted marshmallows at our cabin. It was a blast. I don't have much else to say about it, but I've got some photo's! yay!

Photographs...

I LOVE taking photographs! Truly one of my favorite things. But lately I have been SOOOO bad at taking my camera on outings with me and the ones I have taken it on I have taken few if any photos. I am very mad at myself. When I do bring it, I don't want to hold people back and have anyone wait for me and when I bring my camera I either take a picture of EVERYTHING or I barely get it out at all. I can't find a happy medium. The other horrible thing is that it isn't that I forget it. It is that I convince myself that it will be a nuisance or simply unnecessary. Here is generally what goes through my mind, "well, I am going on a hike and I can't carry my water in the camera case. i don't want to carry two bags and I don't want to hold the water." So I won't take the camera and then totally kick myself for not bringing it with the lovely wild flowers and streams. So this week the Camera is coming, besides I was a pack horse all through high school, why change it now? I also went to Bear Lake this weekend. I figured this is a Young Single Adult activity everyone will have their camera! Right? FALSE. I did not see a single camera whipped out the entire weekend. So now I have had several really fun adventures and absolutely nothing to show for it! So this week I am making a goal to take my camera on all my fun adventures and show you all the fun things i am doing at the end of the week. Really show you all the places I go! Not that interesting of a post, but it is something and now you can all make me show the evidence of my adventures!
