Been some time / Timescapes
So it’s been quite awhile since my last post detailing the misfortune of having a bum back. Hard to believe that was almost two months ago, but it’s been a long few months recovering, getting stronger, and focusing on my health. I just completed my first bike ride – other than 2.5 miles to work for the past two weeks – since the day before I hurt my back. Sarah and I covered about 32 miles and a few nice climbs up Mt. Tabor and Rocky Butte. Feeling pretty sore right now, but ice, ibuprofen and beer is a time-honored and effective treatment. Hope that I don’t feel too rough tomorrow morning, but it was so awesome to be back on the bike again on a beautiful 70 degree sunny day. Felt pretty solid the whole way and am pleased with the small steps.
Although I haven’t posted anything for awhile due to the back injury, the resulting lack of interesting activities in my life, and lots of time spent planning for our wedding in July, I have been meaning to share Tom Lowe’s incredible time-lapse/motion videos collectively called “Timescapes.” Sublimely beautiful time-lapse videos mostly of southwestern landscapes and night skies. Pretty awesome. Check a few of them out here:
