Okay, so I don’t know what I like more.

The journey of this lens, the refreshingly optimistic approach to life, or the note lensmaster “MysticTurtle” sent in with her nomination.

“How would you celebrate your 50th birthday? I’m doing it by bicycling 12,000 miles around the perimeter of the U.S. When I realized I was approaching 50, and still had so many things on my life’s “to-do” list, I decided to take a year and tackle as many as I could. (I’m currently almost halfway in the trip.)

I hope this lens serves as inspiration to everyone, especially women. I want everyone to know that dreams are possible, man or woman–even solo, even “over 30.” Life’s too short to spend it doing what you don’t want to do!”
