2021

My partner and I spent most of our Christmas + New Years’ holiday vacation exploring the island of Puerto Rico.

She had been there briefly many years ago; it was completely new to me.

We hope you enjoy following along as we recount our adventures!

I am on a brief solo road-trip this weekend. I woke up, looked out the window, and got outside as quickly as I could to capture this morning’s sunrise.

I often hike Dungeness Spit when I need a moment to myself. On this morning, returning from one such hike, Mother Nature sent me this inspiring visual with the receding fog.

My partner and I visited the Grays Harbor Lighthouse in Westport recently.

I hiked the Talus Loop Trail near North Bend in May.

I had the opportunity for a long weekend away and decided to make some progress on my parks project.

I hiked the Lime Kiln Trail, east of Granite Falls, in mid-May.

So it had been a while since I’d had a good long road trip. I needed to go to Dallas quickly, but had the time to come home slowly and thoughtfully.

Herewith, a journal of a trip from Dallas to Seattle over several days.

I woke up at 3:30 this morning to get to a sunrise shoot at Columbia Hills Historical State Park. As dusk rose over the Columbia Gorge, I had to stop for a moment and capture this view along the way.

The plan was to go out and see a bunch of parks for the 146 Parks project, but alas, many of the parks in Central Washington are not really in their prime this time of year.

Today I drove out to visit Bogachiel State Park as part of my 146 Parks project. I couldn’t resist stopping by Lake Crescent for a few photos along the way there and back.
