Yesterday was a Statutory Holiday in Canada...so I decided in my infinite wisdom that I should drive out to the mountains.
Alone. And go hiking.
Alone.
It was sunny in the city when I left. Swear to potato.
However about 45 minutes into my drive and maybe 20 from the mountains? Blizzard.
What.The.FUCK.So, I navigated my way to a fairly easy hike/walk and did my best not to fall on my ass. Twice. See that last photo? The one with the shiny circle? That would be the sun. Or...what we
THINK is the sun. Nobody is quite sure because around October the sun goes away until June.
Also? That photo of my face and NOBODY ELSE FOR MILES AND MILES WITH TREES AND FUCKING BEARS AND POSSIBLY RABID MOOSE HIDING BEHIND THE FUCKING BEARS IN THE TREES?
Does that not remind you of that Blair Witch movie? The last known image of Holly......

Words of 'wisdom' from the Rummy One (and various people I've stolen from)
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Some people are like slinkys; they serve no useful purpose, but they do make you smile when they tumble down the stairs.
When I was a kid we had a sandbox. Actually it was a quicksand box. I was an only child...eventually.
It's a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes.
You know what I miss? I miss the old days, when I'd think up a sinister scheme for world domination and friends would show a little emotional support. I mean come on now....really.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I have absolutely no idea how this sentence I'm currently writing is going to finish. When and if it does, I can only hope it makes some kind of coherent ceramic pineapple vibraphone.

These are beautiful pictures even with the snow/clouds! You are absolutely gorgeous!
I just wish I live near the mountains so I could go hiking and get pictures like this once in a while.
Lovely photos. Lovely lady. But don't make me have to come up there and rescue you - or they may find TWO bodies come Spring.
Rabid moose are effing scary, dude.
That's what you get for swearing on potatoes. They are notoriously unreliable!
You do realize that you're the inspiration to several slasher movies...?
Oh burr! that looks cold!
Rabid moose are scary. Rabid Holly? Sort of sexy.
that picture of you is awesome! very little vixen lost.
Reminds me more of Twilight than Blair Witch. Gorgeous pics. & I''m SO coming with you one day. I am. x
Bad idea...but great photos.
But I thought you were a rabid moose tamer?
Great photos.
I think I love you..in a non lesbo way of course HA.

I'm particularly impressed with your commitment to eyeliner. Even for a solo hike. Loves it.
Stacia, my commitment to eyeliner is only slightly less than my commitment to my hair straightener.
In fact, while I cannot confirm this in a court of law? I might have been putting on makeup while screaming in pain....while 911 was being called....to take me to emergency....because I was probably DYING.
True facts.
these pictures are seriously beautiful!
