Well, the weather here has been really dreary and I tend to get very affected by the weather. Yesterday it was almost pitch black all day because of the tropical storm Danny and I was ready to go to bed at around 1pm. It just drains my energy. Plus, I had another muscle spasm in my back yesterday, it is getting a bit better. I know how to deal with them no, but it doesn't make them less painful. And also, with all the different storms and fronts moving through (and a spasm in my neck) I'm getting some awful headaches and just feeling horrible. It is annoying.
Combine that with the fact that I just watched Torchwood: CoE, the most depressing and upsetting mini-series in existence....I just hoped that some pretty pictures would make me feel better.
First set is from Lloyd Center for the Environment. Just a nice area with some hiking trails. I really enjoyed it. I would love to go back and take some of the longer hikes. You can also rent kayaks and go out on the lake. It would be fun. There are some bald eagles out there and apparently there are occasionally seals during the fall. I'll have to go back! The last two pictures are of 'stonewalls'. They are everywhere around here. People would take them out of their fields and build short walls out of them. Sometimes you just see them meandering through an old forest and you wonder how long they have been there. Some of the towns around here have been here since the 17th century. These walls could be hundreds of years old. I love seeing them :)
The beach over on West Island in Fairhaven, MA. Neat beach. Long and narrow. My favourite part was that the sky was so fantastic, and if you've seen any of my pictures, you know I just can't help taking pictures of sunsets :)
So that is all. Pretty pictures. The weather is getting nicer here, mid 70's and sunny for the rest of the week. Fall is just around the corner. Now, I just have to go to sleep and wake up pretending that Torchwood didn't make a Season 3 :P
