train tracks take two.

today megan had to go back out to the train tracks to take some more pictures in a "different lighting" for her photography class. of course i was more than happy to join her in this adventure. it was raining, and beautiful, and i figured i could get some pictures of the train and the wooden building that i didn't get to last time. so we headed out and it was really fun ... again.

i really like how the rain falling down the sides of the train makes it look like a zebra or something.

this was megans rainy picture taking outfit. i liked it. i knew i wouldnt lose her.

it was very muddy and wet from the rain, and like any good college student, i definitely did not let this muddy opportunity pass. really i was surprised by a mud pit that looked like a firm layer of mud, not so, i feel i have a better understanding of how quick sand works though.

we also stopped on the way home and took some pictures of the beautiful tree blossoms. now this is something you definitely dont see in az.

im still not sure why i find taking pictures to be so entertaining, but it is definitely one of my favorite past times. its so calming and relaxing. and it is a good thing to do when you feel like you just need to get away for a few minutes, whether you need to get away from homework, roommates, or just life, its wonderful!

today i am thankful for:

* megan! (haha, it seems like i am grateful for her a lot, but i am!! im not really sure what this semester would be like without her!)

* rain!! i absolutely love the rain. it is pretty much my favorite thing in the whole entire world! and i love being able to just walk in the rain, there is such a feeling of freedom and carelessness when you walk in the rain, and it is wonderful!

* trains, while i do not like riding in trains very much, they do make pretty cool pictures. (not to mention when you are falling into the hidden quick sand mud pit they are very sturdy for grabbing on to so you dont totally biff it.)

* cuddling up with a big blanket and just feeling warm and happy. it is so amazing.
