maxing and relaxing....

so one of my sisters professors from chicago was speaking up at hume lake and i made a trip on up the mountain for some thinking and personal reflection....

as always i slept in my car


and hanged out on the rock



a lot of cool things happened throughout the day. they had the bike jump....






and the high schoolers played their recreation games...







i ran into almost all of my friends that live and work up at hume. this first picture is of jerry root. my sisters professor that i mainly went up to hear speak.


this is norm. hes awesome.


i forgot to take a picture with darren so i got a picture from across the lake...





















same thing with christian. this picture was actually taken last time i was up there back in april...


uhh and as well with eric. this picture was taken last year sometime. random fact. this picture is the 42nd picture i ever took with my camera....


so i was walking around the lake and i found this dude. i dont know what his thing was.....


so i found a nice shady spot and relaxed and enjoyed the wonderfulness of the lake.





so the last night i was up there i sat down by the lake and was playing with my camera. this first one is of my shadow relaxing...


then an ehh long time exposure picture...


well that was that. i hope that im not leaving anything out. it was a great time of relaxation and meditation.

happy 4th

so the fourth of july, or july 4th to the layman.
it was a great day. i spent most of it hanging out at the local starbucks playing with 2 year old fireworks.


even the off duty employees had a blast with sparklers....


as well as gary, the local homeless guy that "lives" behind walmart. he loved it....


i also headed over to the hanford east campus fireworks show where i found the abbas family relaxing on the grass. before the show started, sparkler fun again...



here are some of the firework pics i took....




































































this is just a cool picture of steebo and i enjoying the show....


well that was that. i think that this was the first year that i actually didnt spend even a dollar on fireworks. i had many, many though left over from previous years...
