My favorite place


The Rockies
I'd like to begin this post by saying that I have a deep love for the Earth. Being outdoors is a type of therapy for me. It is a place where I feel most relaxed and present with myself. You could call me somewhat of an environmentalist as I am constantly thinking about how to lessen my carbon footprint by reducing the materials that I use, reusing the things that I have and recycling the waste. I say all this because it is difficult for me to choose one specific favorite place as I love anywhere that nature is abundant and flourishing. I will however post a photo of the most beautiful place I have seen and been, Leadville, Colorado. I went to Leadville with my boyfriend about a year ago and I fell in love with this place. The air is so clear and the landscape so utterly extraordinary. Naturally the picture does not do the place justice whatsoever, but it is a nice attempt. Below is another picture of the town of Leadville that I found from the town's website.

    Oh, this is great: you have a post now, Lindsi! Wonderful! I am glad you were able to get the Google to behave. And I know what you mean about photographs: being able to really capture the spirit of a place in a photograph is not easy... but even so, that is very beautiful! And caring for the environment is a huge theme in mythology and folklore: maybe that is a topic you will want to explore for the class!

    Hi!! I wanted to say that I absolutely love Colorado as well! It was very interesting to read your post and to see what you are trying to do to help out the Earth. It was very inspiring to say the least. What are your favorite places in Colorado? I know that my family used to stay in Breckenridge every spring break for about eight years straight, so I haven't really visited anywhere else!

Introduction to the plant fiend

Image of myself My name is Lindsi Unsell. I am a senior at The University of Oklahoma and I am studying Communications. All of my Communication classes have been so interesting and relevant to everyday life. I have actually noticed myself become a better communicator and have been more aware of how others communicate around me. As a senior, I am both excited and nervous to have such limited time in school left. I feel so happy that I have come this far successfully and I can see the light at the end of this stressful yet rewarding tunnel. I also work at The Oklahoma Daily as a copy editor and hope to try my hand at some writing for the newspaper this final semester. The Daily has been one of the most rewarding things I have done at OU. I have met a niche group of people that help me connect with others outside of school that I may not have gotten the chance to meet otherwise. I love being a part of the school newspaper because I feel so much more aware of events going on locall...

Week 7 Story: Grotto of Lust

Author's note: This story was originally told as the Grotto of Love. In this story was a man that became bored and resorted to other pleasures. These pleasures were among the sea with a siren. I will keep with the same story but change the ending and the character names and a few traits. Grotto of Lust Leorio, as with many who are given too much in life, was dissatisfied. Leorio had the most beautiful and loyal wife, Setsu, but he tired of her constant presence. In his boredom he began to think of a siren he once saw, but could not catch. She had a voice that could make tears prick your eyes and a beauty that surpassed anyone Leorio had ever set his eyes upon. He sat and thought about the way she sang and played her lute effortlessly. It all became a dizzying daydream and he could not bare the thoughts any longer. He left his wife without a thought and made his way to the emerald sea where she lived.  Once his feet sunk into the sand and he breathed in the salty air he b...
