Some out of order photos

A fish passes our plane on our way west

I missed posting the beginning of our trip to Oregon, so forgive me, but I'll catch up real quick.

We landed in Portland and hung out for a couple days. We stayed in a "treehouse" and rode bikes and drank coffee and watched the sunset and other boring stuff like that.

My parents landed a couple days later and picked us up to take us down to the Southern Oregon countryside to stay with our family.

Of course, my cousin's daughters have been the center of attention.

Today, we went blueberry picking.

We're leaving tomorrow morning to get dropped off with our packs in Umpqua National Forest for 4 days. We're only hiking about 22 miles, but plan on meandering and lingering a lot. I'll have photos from that after the middle of next week, when we're back.

Sad Seal

IMG_4736.jpg


We went to the coast yesterday and had a great time. We hiked around for a few house down the beach and in the grass and dunes. It was Christie's first time seeing the Pacific Ocean, and that was pretty exciting for her. On our way back we found this seal beached and having trouble breathing on the beach. It seemed to be sick and we weren't sure what to do for it. We tried calling the ranger's office and animal control, but both were closed. It's the way it goes for a seal, I suppose, though. Maybe it's better for it if it's not surrounded by bunch of people in it's final hours, anyway.

I'll end on some less depressing photos.

Mike and Leon

IMG_3558.jpg

This is my friend Mike and my cat Leon. Leon's been in more than a few photos. Both are pretty good models.

I took this photo right before I left for Oregon for a little over a couple weeks. I'll have a lot of photos to post from the trip. I'm visiting family and will be spending 4 days backpacking in Umpqua National Forest. Should be really gorgeous.

New photos

Have some energy going towards photos lately. Christie and I did this one last night. I'm hoping to do more of these and also try to build up my portfolio with some more "normal" photos, too, so I can start getting more work soon. More photos to follow
