Mine!

Well, I've added a few more serious photos lately, but it is time to just have some fun. Reclamation of Youth Day (Bellingham Herald, KOMO) was a few weeks ago and the day was filled with just too much fun, including the best game of flies up you'll ever see. More to come from this great day!

The rain brings the blooms

Back in May, after hiking along the Pacific Coast Trail with Erika, we went to down to Cannon Beach. It was a weekend when I was really trying to find new angles to photos I have taken before. I really love how the rings and pedals of this flower stood out to me and I feel like the aperture of my camera really brought it out. This photo really represents my experience with this flower (wow, that is a hippie sentence).

During the last few weeks, since Easter, Bethany Community Church has been participating in the Spiling Hope campaign. This encourages everyone to learn, participate and give in regards to water needs in Africa. This boy is washing his hands in lifegiving water and is diving into Spilling Hope. For more information, see SpillingHope.org.

Too Dreary to be Enjoyed

My bike was on the fritz and I needed to get to the Krista Foundation's office. Along this walk I took lots of photographs, but this one really stood out as the point of the walk. It was pouring rain and was the middle of winter. It really stood out because it really signified the photo walk for me. It was a dreary winter day that really stood out as the my unemployed winter continued. The dreary corners of my life darkened but the light of my path went out into my future.

Since this photo walk, my life has continued, but I mostly just really love this photograph.
