Officially the Longest I've Been Away from Home

Last time I was away from home for an extended period of time, I was at Villanova for a camp over the summer. I was gone for 10 days, but think about it. Villanova? Not too far from my house. I also saw my mom and sister once halfway through because they brought me clothes and food. So today is officially the longest period of time that I've been away from home. Anyway.. Today! We didn't do much, but around 1:30/2, we went to a park that was kind of between mountains? Not sure how to describe it, but I got to spend 3 hours taking pictures. I got to clear my mind and just focus on that which was so nice. The pictures I got were also good.. Well I think so. This picture was actually the highlight of my day...

Un caballo!!! We were petting it.. There was another one and it was brown with a white spot on its forehead. They were friendly. There was also this huge tree that resembled the Whomping Willow (all you Harry Potter fans out there..) and there was this hole going through it's trunk way high up. Aleks climbed up and I decided to follow. We looked good up there, right?

I'm standing in the hole thing.. Kind of complicated. It was a really fun day though. I can't believe I only have two weeks left here.. Not thinking about it! However, with my camera in my hand I did think about other things on my two/three hour "exploration." Photography was on my mind and I have a few people to thank for this hobby. The first people I have to thank would be my parents. You guys have always encouraged me to do what makes me happy and done so much to advocate my success. That would include gifting me my Canon (my best friend) last Christmas. You always inspire me to do my best and work really hard at what I do, thank you! I also would like to thank my photography teacher. Mr. Smull you rock! You're always really helpful when it comes to me understanding what I do wrong or what I could work on to improve my pictures. It's never bad advice! So thanks for all the encouragement, everyone. It's much appreciated :) Time for dinner.. Hasta luego, lectores! (Until later, readers).

PS. Hope you're learning a little bit of Spanish as you read.
