For the past few months I have been busting my ass in school, going on field trip after field trip after field trip, and now, finally have a little time to decelerate. Nearly every photo I've taken recently has something in it for scale and I have been snapping off hundreds of pictures with my only concern being whether or not it will work in my field reports.

Ugh.

I love my field, I really do, but I have been moving through the world so fast recently that I've forgotten what I am looking at. The landscapes I work in are gorgeous, places that some people would kill to be able to see. And yet I take them for granted. I look forward to the day when I can set my own pace, and stop to smell the rocks, I mean roses, on occasion.
