I. Josh preparing to take photos in Marin County, just North of San Francisco. We were driving through these lovely, winding roads on our way to the Point Reyes hostel. It was ridiculous. Fog rolled in over the hills, the light was just right (the golden hour). I look at these photos and sigh. II. Dripping icicle outside my house on a god-sent sunny day. III. Josh and the giants. In the Redwoods, off the Avenue of the Giants. We walked through these trees the same day we drove through the scene in the first photo. What an amazing 12 hours. IV. I went snowshoeing a couple weekends back with some friends. Here Shannon and Sara frolick on a frozen creek. V. Winter branches at Tifft Nature Preserve, gorgeous and frozen.

I. Possibly my favorite photo of Josh ever. Took this on Cannon Beach on the coast of Oregon. We stopped in this town for lunch and about an hour of beach combing. II. The patio at the Pied Cow, a SE Portland dining establishment. This place had great dessert as well as a hookah bar. Lauren and I split a bottle of red. III. Fog/mist rolling in and out, all along the coast. I never got over it, it was always beautiful. This shot taken in Cannon Beach, OR. IV. At the food cart lot in Portland, devouring some free ice cream. Photo by Lauren. V. Can life get more romantic than this? Creperie food cart in SE Portland. Sigh.

You should see the grass in front of my house, it too has been neglected.

To top it all off, I’m leaving this afternoon for my long-awaited West Coast trip with my little brother. We’re heading to Portland first and will stay with my generous and lovely friend Lauren. I will be sure to detail my travels on this blog when I return but for now, while we’re gone and my neglect continues, here’s some great reading/browsing material:

  • First, we aren’t totally going off the radar. Follow Josh and I on our special West Coast Twitter! We’ll be posting updates and photos on a daily basis so check it out.
  • Then, go enter Courtney’s “What would Rita Hayworth Do?” contest. But by July 12th.
  • Check out Mike Calanan’s beautiful drive-by photo series, something I’ve been enjoying lately.
  • Awkward Family Photos blog. ‘Nuff said.
  • Finally, enjoy this photo of the alligator Natalie, Anna, and I held on our New Orleans bayou cruise:
