So its fall in the north east. I love it. I haven't been around to enjoy this weather in about 8 years. I forgot how vibrant it looks in person. Just down the street is this maple with crimson leaves. It really pops out against the other green and yellow trees.
The picture above is from Loon mountain. Soon to be my local riding location. Its big enough but im not sure if it has the "back country" runs that I love. Whipping through the trees and carving between them...there is no feeling like it. You just float along with a quick left here and a tree to the right. It really gets the blood flowing. I can't compare it to riding a motorcycle because they are two distinct rushes. But snowboarding on fresh powder for me is like surfing. It's like the mountain is alive and the powder its spirit. The mountain speaks to you saying things like "go this way I have a sweet rock for you to jump off of" and "watch out for that tree!" Yeah as spiritual as I try to sound I can't help but be a smart ass.
So today we are headed up to Maine to do some apple picking and hang out with Laura's Aunt. should be fun. I'll get some pics.
Speaking of pics I am trying to hone my skills again. Hopefully Ill get a light meter soon and I can start using my Twin Lens Reflex. Its a classic. the results from these cameras can only be described as surreal. Ill get some test rolls run soon. Probably start with medium format B&W and go from there. Really that is my favorite format.
So cheers to fall!

You are unreal...so this isn't a blog just about your knee which is what you led me to believe. No wonder you got all sensitive that I didn't run out and look right away! I love you dear, you talk about mind games. You are a gargantuan jigsaw puzzle!!
