Hi, I'm Heather. I used to have a blog until I discovered that I really liked the tumblr format. I like a lot of things. Topping that list are writing, reading, video games, music, photography, tea, and my friends, not necessarily in that order.
I suspect that this is going to devolve into me posting youtube videos well after they were cool on the internet, but I'm okay with that.

![Favorite Photo of the Moment
My friend Ally’s parents somewhat recently bought a beach house out in Delaware. Not too long ago, she, Annie, Jon and I went out to spend a weekend there.
Most of that weekend was spent goofing around, watching movies, drinking wine, and playing the ridiculousness that is Catchphrase. During part of it, though, in an effort to take advantage of the nice fall weather, we went out to walk around The Community’s nature conservatory. [I call it The Community because it’s gated and seems like the kind of thing that should be capitalized.]
The “nature conservatory” consists of a branched linear path that goes maybe a quarter to half a mile in either direction from its entrance. It’s very pretty out there, and the path is dotted with lookouts and walkways. At the end of one of the forks, there is a run-down pier that you have to climb down part of a caved-in path to reach. A couple of the slats of wood have broken and fallen into the water, giving it an abandoned sort of feeling. At the end of the pier were three benches and a rather picturesque view, which we spent a good hour or so appreciating while they patiently waited for me to grow tired of snapping pictures.
Clouds were coating the sky, which provided a wonderfully soft, diffused light. Above are three of my favorite shots from the day; one each of Ally, Annie, and Jon, respectively.
As the Big Move grows closer and I find myself paying more attention to things I have grown accustomed to having around and therefore taken for granted to varying extents [things like seasons, snow, and knowing certain areas of this region like the back of my hand] I realize that among those are my friends. So, I’m very glad that I have little moments like these, when my friends are accommodating and I can silently savor their laughter, the cadences of their speech, their reactions, and all the little things from the habits I have grown accustomed to, to the things I never noticed or that I’ve never seem them do before.
It makes me even gladder that I could attempt to, as adequately as I am able, capture some of their brilliance so that I can reflect upon these little moments when we’re a country apart. Reflect, and remember that this day was a very good day indeed.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc40ilaF6k1qaxksko1_500.jpg)
