Kinesthetic Response

My project for Design class. It's supposed to illicit a feeling of motion and direction. Does this happen for you?

Sunrise is a Magical Time

   Last night, we put aside any semblance of a social life we have and went to bed early. We woke up before the sun was out, and drove to Roxborough State Park. Mainly, I went to work on a couple projects I'm doing for school. However, I was able to still fit my photography hobby in. It led me further to conclude, sunrise is a magical time. The city stands quiet, the roads free of traffic, the deer graze openly, and the only people around are the ones who know the enchantment of the hour as well.

Capitol Hill

   
     Nick and I spent the last two weekends moving him out of Fort Collins and me out of the parents house. We moved to Capitol Hill, where a few of my siblings and many of my friends have formerly resided. The neighborhood is very charming and has a lot of history. I can go sit at the same bar as Kerouac once did to gather inspiration. Although there's your occasional bum fight over "dumpster treasures", I think I'm going to like it here.

Red Feather and Lost Lake

This past weekend we went camping with a large group of friends. It was rainy when we arrived, but the storm cleared through in the early evening. Only Nick, Jamie, and I were brave enough to take a dip in the lake. It was chilly, but totally refreshing. I find myself often drawn to rivers and lakes. There is nothing appealing about a pool filled with peeing children, dirty bodies, and so many chemicals the prior shouldn't matter. Taking a swim in an abandoned mountain lake is nothing short of rejuvenating and calming. The day ended with another beautiful Colorado Sunset.

Grey Rock

       Two weeks ago, Nick and I set out to hike Grey Rock. This is one of the more challenging hikes near Fort Collins, and the last two times I hadn't even made it to the top. In no better shape than before, I set my mind to "no turning back." It took us almost 3 hours to summit, but the views were well worth it. I need more hikes like this in my life. Though I must admit, walking was a little sore for a few days after.
