i went driving up a mountain the other day, hoping to find the local lookout at the perfect time to capture some of the bokeh lights in the valley below. instead i found some kids making out in their car at 4:30 in the afternoon, and zero bokeh lights yet (still too bright out). but i did find warm sun, and state game lands, and snow that hadn't melted yet.
i'll be away from flickr for the next week-ish, we're going up to massachusetts to be with my grandpa and other family. the tests came back positive for cancer, and an aggressive, fast-moving kind at that...i never thought i'd be typing those words. we're going to try to spend as much time with gramps as possible.
in the meantime, i hope you all have a bright, warm, hopeful week ahead.

What a beautiful and delicate sunlight in a seemingly 'unremarkable' scenery...
Stay warm inside, Sarah. I hope you can have all the family time you need.
I'll be thinking of you.
