Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Winter Hiking I do have film photos from this hike, but with the holidays I have delayed getting them developed. That being said, I really enjoyed how these turned out. iPhones portrait mode works surprisingly well for plants. Safe travels, leave no trace, and get outside.
I decided to test out some specialty kind of 35mm film. This is not an ad, just me being curious. The film I shot is called Dubblefilm Jelly 200ios. Dubblefilm makes color film that then has a unique color wash over it and every photo comes out differently. Jelly has multiple different colors: red, yellow,
Here is a little bit of a sneak-peek from our trip to Orcas Island earlier this summer. I will post more as I have time. Despite the time it takes to get there I would 100% go back in a heartbeat. Orcas is one of the San Juan Island. To get there: fly into Seattle,
We didn’t want to disturb my distract my sister from her classes, so after a long and wonderful weekend exploring Valencia we said goodbye to Spain and headed to Germany. I want to preface this part of the trip by reminding you, dear reader that we were in a Mediterranean city in Spain with a

I’ve mentioned the walking tour we took a couple of times and this really was a great way to see the city. My sister booked out walking tour with Guruwallk. This was a free two and a half hour walking tour. Yes, there is no upfront fee but tip the tour guide at the end.
Earlier this year we had the opportunity to visit Spain where my youngest sister was studying for the semester. Valencia was not a city that was even on my radar or places to visit but I am so glad that we visited her while she was there. This coastal Spanish city is beautiful: full of
I posted the first part of this story last week and it can be read here. But I wanted to talk a little bit about Amache after the people incarcerated there had left. The buildings that were built in the 1940’s are no longer there. The buildings that have been added since Amache became a
One of our favorite places to hike is the LBJ National Grasslands. It doesn’t show in the pictures but this hike was a bit crazy. When we arrived at the trailhead it was PACKED. Normally there are a handful of cars but rarely more than 10. This time, there were cars everywhere. Turns out, there
