Mountains

I’m from the PNW, so a horizon without a mountain in it just feels so empty! I could see Mt Rainier from my childhood window, and now that I live in Portland, I love seeing Mt Hood and how it changes throughout the year. Here’s a few images of mountains...
Ice Day!

Ice Day!

So the same weekend of the “big” snowstorm, we had some freezing rain. I did not know what this was–I said to my husband, “Isn’t that just…snow?” Apparently not–it’s rain but it freezes and coats everything it...

Costa Rica

A month ago, for spring break, my boyfriend and I traveled to Costa Rica for a week. It was his first time in Central America and my second (I visited Guatemala over Christmas last year). We went to three distinct areas of the country and saw lovely landscapes...
