My Big Adventure

I thought that you were my big adventure

But it turns out the adventure was mine

Though my heart was shattered

Pieces were scattered

I rebuilt it all in time

Sunrise, Wood Ranch Parkway

And I didn't know how strong I could be

You broke my heart

But you didn't break me

And I didn't know I could love you even more

For saying goodbye

For closing this door

Sunset, Challenger Park

I opened my eyes after the tears did subside

Oh, how the colors vibrantly shine

I hold my head up high

Face to the sky

For now the time is mine

Sunrise, Wood Ranch Golf Club

And I didn't know how strong I could be

You broke my heart

But you didn't break me

And I didn't know I could love you even more

For saying goodbye

For closing this door

Sunset, Long Canyon Trail

You said goodbye

I opened this door

Fire and a Photography Lesson

I was just finishing up in my classroom when I got a news alert on my phone of a fire in Woodranch. I could see the fire from school and decided to head home to get a closer look.

I went (straight) up the hill, camera in tote. From the top, I could see the helicopters dipping into the reservoir and then flying straight over head to drop it on the fire.

Super fun moment for a wanna-be photographer: a guy up there started talking camera stuff and ended up getting a whole bunch of tips from him about shutter speed and ISO. Now, if I could just remember to clean the dust specks off my lens...

Then I left to go watch the Seahawks play preseason. We won :)
