  • An Evening in Golden Gardens

    Well, my boyfriend and I were going to take a midnight trip to the Wenatchee area tonight to see if we could get some cool shots of the milky way since there’s no moon right now, but  it was turning out to be cloudy (with a side of traffic) so we bailed around the exit…

  • 2 Cameras, 1 Tripod, 400 lbs: Wallace Falls

    What to Expect: A medium-hard hike. Full disclosure: we are fairly out of shape, hiking-wise, and we are also total wimps when it comes to hot weather. So if you’re a fairly confident hiker, and hike either in the other three seasons, or thrive in the heat, you may find this easier than we did.…

  • Two Wheels: Iron Horse Trail

    This week’s adventure was on two wheels! Our journey was not very long (it’s been a while since I was on a bike, plus I am kind of a wimp), about 12 miles out and back. We started at Olallie State Park, and made our way out to about the Carter Creek Campsite before turning…

  • Southern Oregon: A Whirlwind Trip

    I was born in Ashland, Oregon. In the heart of the Rogue Valley, it is home of the hippies, the Shakespeare Festival, and Southern Oregon University. It is also home to Lithia Park, where you can drink disgusting mineral water from the drinking fountains, and feed millions of ducks (well, not legally, but we do…

  • Exploring Seattle: The Zoo

    Even though I lived in Portland for a long time, I hardly ever went to the zoo there. Here in Seattle, I’ve already been there three times! Apparently it’s my sister’s “go-to” spot, and it’s good practice for photography. Plus, you can get a zoo membership here for 50 bucks and go as many times…

  • Golden Gardens: A Saturday Stroll

    Next up on my tour of Seattle: possibly the craziest crowded beach ever on a sunny Saturday in Seattle. Ok, enough with the alliteration, I promise. My requirements for exploring Seattle at this point are: 1. I’ve never been there before and 2. It’s pretty. Easy list. I will eventually run out of the first…

  • Gas Works Park on a Tuesday

    Day by day I am becoming acquainted with more of Seattle’s outdoor space! This time it was Gas Works Park and Magnuson Park. I love Gas Works Park because you can see so much of the city without being IN the city. We saw two byplanes fly in and take off from Lake Union while…
