I'm Slacking, I know. I still got one i wanna get set right before I post it.


I went up to Rock Cut last friday, in a bid to get out from four walls that have been slowly closing in on me here. Most of my time spent is "in the city", and I've been craving to escape to a more rural enviroment for a few weeks now. It's not that it's a long drive to get out(especially where i'm at in the city), but it has been finding the time during the day and justifying the hidden expense of going on a drive. So I made up my mind and went.

It was a sorely needed purification ritual, if you want to get existential about it. Helped get my mind ordered and onto a more positive track. Walking among the lake's shoreline, looking out and seeing a couple of tents out there was something I never thought I'd see, especially in march. Hey, call me simple in my amusements.

I didn't stay out too long because of the biting wind, but I did get a few pictures on the mobile. I didn't need too long to set myself right anyway. The adventure of driving out there and back during daytime was half the enjoyment slash refresher for me. Actually being there once I cleared my head made me only think of ther last time I was there, last July. While the reminiscence is nice for a time, I couldn't dwell in it too long, lest I end up undoing all that I had accomplished by going out there in the first place.

Taking a final draught of near-freezing country air, and left to get some sleep. I stayed up way later than i normally should.

Anyway. a couple of pictures beofre I shutdown for the day.
