On October 1st, i’m starting a challenge that i just made up while watching The Biggest Loser. Every day for a month, I will walk one mile (or at least 2000 steps using a pedometer) and take pictures of the things I see. I am seriously lacking in a daily routine/ritual, exercise, fresh air, and fall photographs. This challenge will allow me to experience all of these things at one time.

I bought a somewhat expensive thermal/amazing fuzzy warm material sweater and it’s the warmest thing ever. i plan to wear it, a lot. i have boots that i love. i can attempt to knit mittens. i don’t want the idea of being cold to stop me from experiencing the fall weather and all of the colours and crunchiness. i don’t want excuses to prevent me from taking the pictures i want to take.

For the last fall or two, there’s been a beautiful round tree with light orange leaves, only like 500 feet from my house. i would walk by it on my way to school (when i went) and i would think, “i NEED to get pictures of that tree.” Dan, Ashley and I walked by it the other day. It’s dead. I missed my chance because i didn’t want to have to go outside.
