My mornings are usually spent enjoying a cup of coffee and having a quick chat with a few Twitter friends. One of those friends is Stacey Huston. Stacey and I started our friendship like most bloggers, online. Stacey is an outdoor photography and blogs at A Focus In The Wild. She also recently started offering her pictures for purchase at Stacey Huston’s Photos.

Stacey is your all around outdoors kind of girl. She grew up out west and there is nothing more important to her than sharing that love with her family. You would think Stacey and I would have nothing in common. Just like my husband and I. The girl wears camouflage and takes cutesy pictures with her critters. I take pictures in my borrowed camouflage in my fake woods known as my bike trail. But Stacey has a way of making you feel if you’re not out enjoying what nature has to offer, you are truly missing something so amazingly beautiful.

I’ve never been camping let alone out west roaming the mountains or sleeping under the stars amongst the wild. But this is what Stacey does. It’s who she is. And like I’ve done with others, I’m inviting myself to go camping out west with Stacey. This is no campsite with a community shower. This is the wild and there are no community commodes. So before I agree to go there are a few things I need to know;

Are there bears? Even if Stacey tells me no, I know bears roam. If they didn’t roam they wouldn’t end up in someones house like on the news.
What is her action plan if we do encounter a bear? How fast of a quick draw does she have with a bow? Maybe I need to time her before we go.
Can she tell me the kinds of poisonous spiders and snakes that might crawl on me?
Will she have whiskey in case any of the above happens?
How far will we be walking? Because I walk from my house to my car. And back. Does she have an ATV we can ride?
Where do we tinkle? Oh deer gosh, what if I have a stomach? Her husband Hawk won’t be spotting and stalking while I’m spotting and squatting will he?
Will she have whiskey in case that happens?
In case I singe my hair in the campfire does she know how to cut hair? Cause that can happen. And has happened. And believe me, crusty half inch bangs are not attractive.
Will she have whiskey in case that happens?
Will she promise if she takes pictures they will be from the waste up? I’ll bring cupcakes.

Have a good day all … I’m off to figure out what that is at the bottom left corner of her picture. Oh wait I don’t want to know. But I do. But I don’t. But I might need to. In case it’s what’s for dinner.
