My mother and I went on a very nice trip to the coast of GA and I enjoyed using my camera for landscape and nature shots using lots of Intentional Camera Movement (in this case vertical). It gives me inspiration where my typical landscape photography does not. I loved changing up my style (something I have been trying to do for printed works these days). And I turned 54 when the Super full blood moon eclipse occurred (almost on the dot!)
Wow I love this! Must have another go at ICM - I never got this kind of result! Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you celebrated in style going away with your mother!
