Funkytown/lost my mojo/ or another why I havent written lately

Wow what a couple of months. Been a few ups and downs. Some of which left me in quite the funk. HOWEVER Before I hit funkytown I had an awesome visit in Minnesota with my friend Desi. I usually go there about once a year and last years visit was very hard and sad as thats when her mother passed. This years visit was quite the opposite we were both in a good space and I havent laughed so much or felt so loved by her and her friends and family ever.


I really got my redneck on when we went "up north" this trip which included going to stock car races (Ryans nephew was racing for the 2nd time in his life he did awesome !), huge bonfires, lots of alcohol, riding a 4wheeler, shooting hoops (with a PURPLE !!!! basketball OMG I WANT ONE, and lets not mention that its been a really long time lol) and swimming in the pit!

I have tons of pictures but my fav is the pit where we went swimming in the pit. You had to jump off the side to get in, and it took me a while and after a few words of encouragement (thank you Melinda for your words and Ryan for your safety net) I was able to jump in. Wow ! Here is a picture of Ryan jumping off the cliff:




Later on Ryan couldnt believe I was my age lol and thought I did a hell of a job keeping up with the youngsters that they are ! (late 20s).

Back in Minneapolis Desi and I went to japanese gardens and I got some lovely shots there.



I havent picked up the camera since I got home. Whats up with that? Im hoping that the fact that its finally not 500 degrees outside and my fav season, Autumn, I feel inspired again to create some magic with my camera.
