An adventure is coming.

My brother called me the other day to ask if he should pull the trigger and reserve some dates in early June for our boundary waters trip. So there's a date! Nothing but canoing, hiking, and serenity. I cannot express how excited I am. I get to spend time with my brothers, away from everything, with nothing around us but untouched wilderness. It's going to be an amazing experience. I ordered a button cell battery for my Minolta film camera, and will be taking as many pictures as I can. I don't want to deal with anything electronic (except lamps, of course) during the trip. I know that the experience will be extremely cleansing, and I'm looking forward to any challenges the trip has to offer.

Here's a Monet I've never seen before.

I absolutely love the colors, but I don't think I've ever seen a Monet painting that didn't harmonize color in a less than magical way. And that reflection, just stunning.
