February 20

I finally got to go hiking for a bit today!!

We were trying to go up some trail called Big Limestone or something like that, but I guess we couldn't find it...

We still had fun though! Ashley, Tayler, Erin, and I all went out, hiked around, and climbed around on rocks and that sort of thing.

It wasn't quite as warm today as I wanted it to be... it was so gray and overcast that it just looked like it was about to rain (which it did later... big time).

So anyway, here's Ashley, being an explorer... I don't have a whole lot to say about this picture, except that I wish the colors were a little brighter.

I can't wait until spring finally comes for real... I'm so tired of everything being brown in every picture I take.

It really won't be green until a month or two from now, but this strangely warm weather is getting me all excited for what's coming.

Alright that's really all I have to say... The other pictures are of Erin staring off the rock, Tayler posing for me, and a couple of fun ones just because.

I wish I had more to say because there's plenty of space on here for me to write for forever, I just can't think of anything remotely interesting to say at the moment.

The words of my blog really aren't the important part anyway. It's just a place for me to put the pictures that I take as well as get my thoughts together.

It's actually pretty cool though, since it's basically a daily journal of my life throughout the year... I couldn't remember half of the stuff that I do if it weren't for all of the pictures I take.

I think that remembering things is really my main reason for taking pictures, anyway. I was talking to one of my friends about it recently, and I'm honestly not at all artsy (even though I wish I was sometimes).

There's usually not any kind of deeper meaning to my pictures, they just look pretty (when I do it well), and if there's a story behind them then that's just because that's whatever was going on at the time...

I know a lot of people who take really cool, different looking pictures that have a deeper meaning and everything... I guess maybe that's why I don't necessarily consider myself a true photographer.

I don't create anything, I just take pictures of what I see, and if I see it pretty, it comes out that way.

That's not to say what I do isn't good, I think it's okay at least! And I try hard (sometimes), I just have a lot of respect for creative photographers... I'd probably have been somewhat good as a photojournalist or a portrait photographer, and those are both obviously awesome, valid types of photography...

Anyway that's enough about my thoughts on photography. I'm confusing myself.

So here's two more pictures for the sake of seeing my wonderful friends and I have fun in Morehead.
