I got really motivated by Kyle and Brenton’s trip to Colorado and decided to explore my own local landscape during the 4th weekend. Well, that along with the gash in my palm that limited me from riding a bike, and the rain that stopped me from scootin via Le board, and the blisters on my feet that kept me from running… Hiking was the next best option! 

I don’t really ever hike, at all. So this was a pretty cool experience on several levels.  I knew rainy/foggy weather tend to promote better photos (thanks Kyle/Brenton) and I wanted to explore all that.  BAMA has been Portland’esk these last 4 days and I’ve been loving it.

Nature is a huge inspiration to me (I know “so why don’t you hike more”).  It’s always changing and brings a peace like nothing else.

I’ve never been present when a tree falls naturally.  I could imagine this would have been a sight to see. 

The FallenI hope you enjoyed my little rainy weekend recap. Sure we’re all becoming “photographers” these days, with which I am not, but I do love pushing my limits and developing a better perspective of the world around me.
