Family

This past break I got to spend time with my mini-me. Isn't she beautiful? (She modeled in Japan. Totally bragging). She was kind enough to model for me while I experimented with my camera. Here's her "I'm done with this" face:

I also was able to catch up with my mom, my grandmother, and my Aunt Megan. Three of my favorite women in the world! I spent a few days in Portland with my aunt and Uncle Pehr. It was a happy vacation filled with great music and great food.

Yes, my grandmother's hair is still completely brown. I can only dream that I get her hair genes.

Oregonia

Over the weekend I went through all of my pictures from my trip to Oregon. It's hard to believe that I was able to grow up in such a beautiful part of the country. It was a place where I got to play with baby skunks, make forts under big pine trees, wear homemade dresses and eat apples nearly as big as my head. When I lived along the Columbia River I felt like Oregon was a place where magical things could happen...it still feels every bit as enchanting and mysterious.

Isn't it great going over pictures? I love catching things I missed the first time around, like the red barn in the first picture or the (very) delicate spider web strand in the fifth.
