Spring is here and with it the cherry blossoms have settled into their full bloom, with the tulips right around the corner. It’s always exciting trying to chase the blooms of everything I want to see, and this year I’m hoping to try something new! My memories from elementary school are relatively vivid, but I’d […]
Standing proudly at the southwestern tip of Washington are two lighthouses: Cape Disappointment and North Head. The former, lit in 1856, was the very first lighthouse in the state, and remains active to this day. The latter, built in 1897, was built due to complaints by mariners that Cape Disappointment was obstructed by the headland […]
♫ “February Air” – LIGHTS Mustard has always been a “taboo” color for me, despite being a huge fan of it. One of my mentors told me that I didn’t look good in yellow while I was trying on a jacket, and I took that to heart. Last year I decided I didn’t care if […]
It seems like it snows more often in February than any other month of the year here. I’ve been dying to get more photos of snow before spring comes, so I wasted no time going to the park. 🙂 I say that, but… I did have some trouble getting out off the house lol! Nibbles […]
Do you have a “spot”? A table at your favorite cafe, a bench with your favorite view of the park? I’ve always wanted to frequent a place enough to have a spot, but I don’t leave my place much these days. Since the new year started I’ve been changing that in my own ways. It’s […]
Went out to Marina beach park to try and catch the lunar eclipse. Something about listening to the ebb and flow of the Sound and chasing the clear patches of sky made me feel really melancholy. It was cold and I didn’t have a proper lens, but it was a beautiful night that brought me […]
It’s been awhile! I feel like I say that every December, and every December I try to update my backlog of entries on this blog to make way for the new year. There’s a bit too many to make it by the 1st of January, but I’ll do my best. Ever since Thanksgiving ended, I’ve […]
Angela and I have been talking about taking another trip together since we went up to Vancouver for New Years. We’re both really chill, go-by-the-flow travelers, and it’s always such a joy going places with just the two of us. It seemed like such a fun idea to spontaneously go somewhere, so we picked New […]
At 9PM the night before, I got a text from Marina asking if I wanted to join her for a morning hike. Lately I’ve been wanting to go camping and hiking again, so I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve been staying up late playing video games until 6AM, but thankfully I woke up on time. […]
Today marks the start of our three week trip to Australia and New Zealand. We’ve been planning this trip for months, so it was exciting and exhilarating for it to finally be happening. And exciting it was — right off the bat! Due to a delayed gate at LAX, we almost missed our connection because […]
