The brand new (awesome) stadium for my Minnesota Twins!! Went to the game Friday night with my dad and two sisters for an early Father's Day outing. The Twins played brilliantly and beat the Padres, 6-5. Fun night.

...wildflower fields, actually....! ;-)
this is how part of the huge field seen before in bokeh status looks in focus...hues of yellow, pink orange, indigo, red and a few blues all under a dramatic Texas sky.

So, Amy Winehouse died today.
This is my tribute.
_
If any of you followed my stream and posts about a year ago, you'll know that I was going through a really hard time emotionally, with lots of questions about who I was and who I wanted to be. To be honest, those still aren't resolved, but I do feel much better equipped to deal with the in between. So now that I'm not a heartbroken mess, it brings into stark focus the fact that at this point in my life I am choosing how the rest of it will go. I'm done with my second year of college and things have only gotten more fuzzy. For the past month or so I've really been stuck in the haze of it all... I feel like all the passion has been sucked out of my life. I get excited about things, but I never get... enflamed? Thrilled? Deeply engaged? I don't know. But it's very difficult.
So. Fast forward to this morning. I roll over, grab my laptop, and the first thing on my news feed is that Amy Winehouse is dead - and I think to myself, is this some sort of joke? Someone had to have made a satire. There's no way she didn't make it. There's no way she's not gonna win.
Because, see, I've been a fan of hers for years - since I was sixteen, I think. Unfortunately all that anyone ever heard about her, if they bothered to hear about her at all, were the interesting bits like drug addiction and abusive relationships. Most people missed out on the fact that she was an absolutely beautiful woman inside and out, with a way of putting her thoughts into the most elegantly honest songs. She never stopped being her. She was fighting a battle that millions of other people are, and I desperately wanted her to win.
I was stunned by the news - not surprised, just taken aback. I don't think anyone could be surprised. Then I realized something odd: although I did think it was really a shame that she would no longer do anything more, no albums, no tours, I wasn't really sad. I don't know if there was a way for her to ever be happy here, in this world - something that I also wonder often. Sometimes people are born that just don't fit into the mold. I'd like to believe that wherever she is now, she's happy. Maybe now she has some peace.
There's a song that's been gaining popularity on the radio lately called "If I Die Young," and towards the end of the last verse the singer says, "funny when you're dead how people start listening." I guess that sounds pretty negative, but there's a positive version of it, I promise. I went on a drive after I heard the news to take some pictures and listen to her albums, and the clarity of everything just hit me. It was like someone dropped me in a giant church bell and it was ringing with the sense that it was just fine. So, um, I guess everything is going to be okay. It always seems to be in the end.
Oh, and I'd just like to note that this was the only take of this - I got it on the first shot. And this is SOOC. I don't claim to know much about the supernatural, but it was a funny thing.
I know my family is suffering badly with the below zero temps and wind chill, so I couldn't let the beautiful day we had today go unheeded. My favorite hiking buddy and I headed out for a good hike in my favorite boulder field.
