Day 8 of photo journal

I had the Outdoor Resource Center (ORC) give my bike a tune up on Sat. and they somehow put a dent in my bike. I think they might have dropped a canoe on it. Anyway they said they would fix it which is cool.

Day 7 of photo journal

Umm...okay.
Really? Isn't there enough water on the ground already?
Slightly out of place.

I'm a student director with Outdoor Activities and one of the events I'm over is Stargazing. It happens every Saturday night at 9pm, we take you out somewhere where it's dark so you can see the stars (has yet to happen due to weather) and while we are there we make dutch oven cobblers and homemade ice cream. We had a slight problem with the ice cream last Saturday, we somehow lost the crank (the part that keeps the barrel in place while spinning the blades on the inside). We've checked everywhere. Can't find it. I decided to check out the last place we had it, Eagle Rock Park or whatever it's called. Only I didn't know which campsite they had used so I just checked all 23 sites. So fun. At least it wasn't raining.

Day 6 of photo journal

It rained again today, just like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that and...you get the picture. It isn't typical Idaho weather but everything is green so I'm not really complaining. It's just annoying to have to ride your bike in the rain.
I know this is a cell phone picture but I had permission to post it. This is my dad, we skyped this morning at 6am. You see, he's in Beijing China and there's a 14 hour difference so it was 8pm his time, he thought I was awake. We had a great time, I love talking to him, he even explained why we were having such weird weather. It's the La Nina effect, apparently we have some cold water in the pacific ocean which is causing all the rain. Oh joy! Anyway, I miss you dad, hope you got a good night sleep.

Day 4 of photo journal

So we went to Box Canyon again, amazing! I love climbing there the rock is super grippy! So the first two photos are of my husband, Maynor, leading climbing Wish List. The bottom photo is of this really cool moss that I saw growing on the rock, so spongy.

Day 3 of photo journal










I love Fridays because I get to meet up with a group of friends and we all go for a ride, it's awesome. We went 42 miles! Thank goodness the wind wasn't that bad today!

Day 2 of photo journal


I don't know where this tape measure came from but it has been useful a couple of times which is why we haven't thrown it away.

First day of Photo Journal

For my color photography class I have to do a photo journal where I post a photo a day for two weeks accompanied by a short explanation or sentence of the photo. So here goes... ...This is a gypsy rose that Brother Wescott taught me how to make in my tradition camping class.

HDR

HDR=three or more combined photos. One (or two) under exposed, one done correctly and one (or two) over exposed. By having the over and under exposed photes it allows you to capture the shadows as well as the highlights like clouds.
