It's a little late, but here is my Photo 365 2013 montage. In 2013 I used two phones, two cameras, and two computers, so my pictures are scattered. I'd prefer to put them in order, but it would take hours. 2013 was a year of ups and downs, but looking at these pictures it's easy to see that the ups trumped the downs. From a spectacular trip to Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia, to camping around Indiana, to discovering Indy, to working on my landscaping and "laying down roots," to visiting my family in Michigan, this was a fantastic year!
Here's the first installment!
Gear for big trip to the Pacific Northwest
June. A day of "funemployment" with my good friend Dottie in her garden.
June. Getting read to play cornhole at Larry's with our favorite beer from St. John, USVI
I sometimes take pictures of food I cook for myself. Cooking for myself has brought me a lot of joy, as it is a message that says, "You are the worth the effort." This is just salmon croquettes and asparagus, but so delicious!
In Alaska, we took a helicopter to a sled dog camp high on a glacier.
We love taking long bike rides
July. And going for long runs in the mud and woods
July. Reading, writing, homemade pizza, and beer in my favorite beer glass
June. Icy Point Alaska at sunset. We had a great day of whale watching and bear tracking here and met many nice local Alaskan people who shared their stories with us.
June. Sun set over the mountains in Icy Strait
June. We saw bears here. Beautiful day in Alaska!
May. These yellow flowers grew on the mountain road sides all over California and Washington.
May. In Washington, wild goats will stalk you, waiting for you to pee. They lick your pee then attack (and sometimes kill) you.
May. Clouds part briefly on Hurricane Ridge. Just a couple of hours later, we were on a sunny beach in the same national park--Olympic National Park
May. Beautiful flowers near Neah Bay, Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Look like little teacups.
May. One of the many ferries we took. This one goes from Whidbey Island to Vancouver.
May. Sul Duc Falls in Olympic National Park. Breath-giving (as opposed to taking!) lush, green, dense forest.
May. ONP. Someday, I'm going to rent a Jucy Mobile. Saw these in Joshua Tree and Death Valley, too.
May. Portland beer: Windmer Bros. Delicious. Buy it at Olympic National Park for $1/bottle. Wow! We had a picnic here at the waterfall.
May. Hoh National Rain Forest in ONP. Incredible wet hike through here. Felt like I was in Land of the Lost.
May. A romantic dinner at Ray's in Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. Overlooking Puget Sound where we watched seals and otters play. In my wine glass is a ferry!
May. Lunch at Pyramid Brewery.
May. Seattle from the ferry
May. Really jumping around--the night before flying to Vancouver, we had pizza and schooners at Silver Beach Pizza, one of our favorite joints. In St. Joseph, Michigan.
June. Sunset in Alaska
June. View from apartment in Vancouver
June. Alaska
May. Holding an iphone up to one of those telescope thingies. We wanted to walk to the lighthouse pictured inside but it was a five mile walk, and the tide would wash out the land bridge before we could return. At Dungeness Spit in Washington.
June. On the Juan De Fuca Straits
April. Turkey in Heat at Clifty Falls State Park in Indiana
Trying to get Primo to pose for a picture next to a waterfall in Clifty Falls. May
