I'm back! And went hiking this weekend!

Ok, daily posts should now resume - I have completed the toughest part of the semester at school, and am back to having some breathing room and free time! To celebrate, Dave and I took the dog upstate:



Aw. They're so cute.

It was a glorious weekend, particularly for mid-November. Still had a little bit of color, and it got up to around 60, with a light breeze, so it was just perfect for hiking.

I decided to leave the camera in the car and experiment with the camera in my new phone, which may become my point-and-shoot-backup-because-I-don't-want-to-haul-the-big-camera camera. I think it did a pretty good job - here's a panoramic photo, blending two photos together:

And a shot from the car of the GWB on the way home. It was really fun to come back to the city on such a lovely day, after having had the weekend to recharge and sleep 14 hours a night. It felt so exciting, and reminded me that the city is a fun place to live too.


The other fun thing about the iPhone is that there are fun applications that allow you to do a polaroid treatment on the photos that you take. I'll post those later in the week.
