Count to 4 real fast

That's how fast it was when first entering to exiting the creek. I felt so grungy after a long bike ride and hike in the mountains that I just had to wash up. I thought what better place then in natures own bathtub. It was extremely cold and numbing but exhilarating at the same time! I'll save my vanity from showing the photos of me screaming. My puppy Scooter had to follow suit and jumped in and out about as fast. It was a hoot to see him jump on a boulder and slide all the way down, sideways of all things until he plopped in. He and I slept like a baby last night. All is good experiencing life in the mountains and now I'm feeling clean and rejuvenated for another adventure seeking hike.

Hooked on

A few of my favorite things these days.

Capri pants(I hope they never go out of style) and summer sandles. Fuze Green Tea with honey. Such a great way to detox and it's so clean tasting and yummy.

My favorite appetizer at a local restaurant called Sweet Onion.

CALAMARI FRITTI

3 lbs. squid-cleaned,

and cut into ringsoil

for frying1 cup of flour

salt lemon wedges.

Blue Moon beer with an orange slice. If you haven't tasted this beer your really missing something special!

1000 count bed sheets with a down comforter. Windows open at night to feel and smell the mountain air. Tone Island mist hand soap and Spa Sugar body lotion by Beauty Control. Addicted to that stuff.

and the most obvious favorite of all is taking pictures and learning more about photography and light.
