*I finally managed a picture of a black-billed magpie (corvid). There are a lot of them locally, but theyre more skittish than crows.
Groceries & a walk this morning, then Ill dive into another chapter. This novel edit is winding down, my next project on the horizon.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I was insanely productive yesterday. Rather than question it, I rolled with it.
Drafting creates a story that exists in the clouds. Dramatic, perhaps, but not always clear. Editing brings clarity, delivering a gentle breeze & a blue sky.

Getting my confidence back I ran a 42km loop around the Dandenong Ranges yesterday. Vert, altitude and technicality was less than the Razorback Run that I DNF'd, but it was good to really nail a of a decent distance (faster than I thought I would). Nutrition worked much better (still not perfect, but a significant improvement over Razorback) too. Anyway, yay me

Newburyport's Clipper City Rail Trail is now a complete circuit for the first time, thanks to the town, and a new bike path along Parker Road!

Partly, I can thank the inspiration I draw from watching my chart fill-in.

Good day!
I swore Id finish editing Book3 this month & am on track to do so, with days to spare.
Its typical spring, where the weather each day bears no resemblance to the one before.
Im trying to walk earlier each morning in anticipation of summer. Our nights are still below freezing.

Good day!
Its supposed to soar to 67F (19C) today, but Ill walk when its still barely over freezing. Itll return closer to normal tomorrow.
At least, its supposed to.
Later, Ill publish another blog post in my self-editing series & (what a coincidence) edit another chapter.

1284 SecondsSo, I've posted the 4 hours and 10 minutes version of this shot yesterday. This one here is almost the same (I envisioned this look actually with my first failed trial) but this one here was shot in about 21 minutes. The plan was to shoot 6 shots on the span of 2 hours, with each being for 21 minutes, but I didn't program the remote correctly unfortunately and ended up with one shot only this one. Anyway, the main idea is to gather as much as possible of light trails and merge them into one image. The noise level is not as drastic (still there though) and cleaning it was somewhat easier than the previous one. The previous one went through many process (and still ended up grainy), while this one was cleaned in one go.
I don't like the general composition though and the trash bins just outside makes me cringe really. I need to find another (safe) location!

The spring weather yo-yo continues. Its rising at present.
Ill edit my blog post today & a chapter. My skill improves, yet its difficult to describe how.
Progress continues to fuel progress.
My next hike will probably take me out of the valley, but not where its muddy.

After the paint out, I had to squeeze in a short hike. The trail head was just 5 minutes away.
I'm going to the "N."

Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.
Its about discovery, about going deeper into emotionsor deeper into the forest. Its about possibilities.

Just another set of photos of that rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa()) from the other dayLooks like I found a new species, a hybrid between plant and animal. It's sitting on the hiking trail and looking like it's feeding.

Ive been busy each day this month, yet edited a chapter each day. Ill have more time today.
Patience, with the process, with myself. Patience, though, doesnt mean inattention. It means working within myself, while striving.
Finding my creative place begins on my walk.
