On my birthday I wanted to take some updated photographs for this blog. As Cameron started to snap away I noticed how awkward I felt having my photograph taken. I hate to admit it, but in high school I did not even have Senior photos taken because I hated getting my photo taken so much.

One thing people often ask is where I like to eat. There are a dizzying array of choices in Seattle, so it is a good thing there are three meals in a day plus a couple snacks. 

The shorter days and grayer skies have me longing for warm, Summer days. It only seemed fitting when I came across these photos from our camping trip on the Olympic Peninsula that I revisit them and their Summery warmth. Enjoy!

The route to Cutthroat Lake is a short, scenic hike with a gorgeous lake at the end. We started our hike early one frosty morning and were rewarded with a brilliant lake to ourselves. 

When I was young I loved my birthday. I eagerly counted down the days before I could become "all powerful". Before I headed off to school, my mother would arm me with an enormous button which read. "It is my birthday I can do whatever I want". Although I am certain this made my teachers snicker, in theory this line perfectly described the day in my mind.
