Solo Camping

I needed to recharge my batteries last weekend so I spent Saturday night out on a little solo camping trip. Camp grounds aren't my cup of tea, so I just found a little spot on public land by the shore of a lake and set myself up for a night. It was really nice, just me and nature. I swam and read in the sun and enjoyed a little evening fire. I hadn't been that relaxed and at ease in a long while.

It was so funny, the little fish in the lake would practically swarm me when I stood around in the shallows. They were really curious and would come check me out without fail no matter how many times I went back into the water.



As you can tell, I was more than a little taken with the view from my campsite. I really had the most gorgeous weather, although there were a lot of biting insects. My skin looks like a haphazard game of connect-the-dots. When I took the photo below, I just felt so happy and in my element - bugs not withstanding. I wish I could feel like that more often.

This weekend I'm heading to a festival where I'll be meeting up with my bestie Becky. We haven't seen each other since late April and I am so excited. It's going to be amazing dancing with her out in nature and just enjoying some lady time together. Fingers crossed the road trip goes well - I purchase a used vehicle last week and I'm still paranoid - and that we don't get rained out! Cheers!
