...and I say to myself, "What a wonderful world"

Hi.

2 years since my last blog post.  Wow.  I feel the sudden urge to explain and justify why it's been so long since I've written something...but I'm not going to. I just feel like writing.

I went on a run tonight for the first time in 3 months.  It was 30° outside and snowing.  Not ideal running weather, but it was great to get out of the house.  I'm always amazed at how hard it is for me to buck up and commit to go for a run, but once I commit and start running it feels great.

I love the earth we live on.  It's beautiful.  Seriously, have you looked around lately?  The mountains, the snow, the trees, the clouds.  It's awesome.  Yes, I sound like an earth loving hippie right now and no, I'm not on any drugs.  Just enjoying and loving the outdoors man!

During my run I had to stop and snap a picture of the beautiful scenery around me. Surely this should be documented. It's beautiful. I quickly pulled my cell phone out snapped a shot and kept running. The result is below:


Needless to say, once I got home and looked at the picture I was disappointed.  I had felt inspired by nature and this boring picture was all I could come up with?  I went to delete the pic but couldn't. It reminded me of what I felt when I pulled the camera out in the first place. Could anything be salvaged to create an somewhat interesting image?  Here's what I ended up with:


I decided to zoom and crop a beautiful tree from the background.  The grainy pic still reminds me why I took the picture in the first place, which is this:  The world is a beautiful place. Every little piece of it.
