salty dogs, ocean style

As excited as I was for our epic coastal roadtrip, there was one thing missing: my dogs. We were flying out there, and they would not be joining us. So, when I found out my coworker Mary was moving back to the Oregon coast a few days before we’d be there, I made plans to...

magic coast

I had never been to the Pacific Northwest before (unless you count as a baby, which I don’t), so I was thrilled when Pim and I made plans to road trip from San Francisco to Portland after his brother’s wedding. We hung around the bay for a few days, headed up north and camped in...

return to Moonshine Gulch

It’s been almost seven years since I last visited this dingy bar in the heart of the Black Hills, but it was first on my list when thinking up places to take Pim (Rushmore, schmushmore!). So we piled into the car with my parents and went out for a beer. Last time, I took a...

a birthday with the goblins

Pim turned 30 last weekend, and big suprise, we celebrated outdoors. We rendezvoused under the full moon with Goblins, friends, and dogs. Plans to summit nearby Mount Ellen were thwarted by a flat tire way, way, way up in the mountains, but we managed to explore Goblin Valley and squeeze in a hike through Little...

water and sky

I’ve been suffocating lately, working in Chicago and Manhattan all week. The hectic chaos has actually left me stressed out… and that is not an easy feat. Today, I finally left the metropolis behind and headed south on a plane to Richmond. Despite a busy schedule still ahead of me here, somewhere over the Chesapeake...

The day after returning home from Phoenix, I was heading to Boston. I’d never been before, but it seems like a fabulous city. Cold, but fabulous. I was there on assignment, but snapped a few photos of my own while walking down the street…

orange you glad winter is almost over?

70-degree weather in Phoenix was amazing… and so were the fresh-picked oranges. I am so ready for summer.

rocky mountain high

The dogs and I spent the last three days of our trip exploring Colorado. I’ve never really been before (unless you count passing through while sleeping most of the way), so it was nice to finally experience a little more. I left my parents’ a day early so I wouldn’t have to have all-day drives...

how to pee ice, and other tales from the Black Hills

I beat the weather this time. Well, sort of. Every year when I go visit my parents in the Black Hills, the weather wreaks havok on my plans. Two years ago, I spent the night in a community center when the interstate shut down from too much snow. With no intentions of letting that happen...

fall

While it’s still 90 degrees down in the desert, and the trees are maintaining their springtime hues, up here in the mountains, the temps are cooler and the fall color is at full throttle. Not surprisingly, this photographer could not be happier. Yesterday, the dogs and I hiked Daly Canyon, and today Ecker Hill (with...
