I haven't been paying attention lately. I'm always doing something, while doing something else, while doing something else. I haven't been paying attention fully to one thing for a while now. This could sound like I'm being super productive, but I have to say it feels the opposite. I think I'm ready to focus now. I'm ready to put down all my devices, work on a thing, not some things. I mean, really, who needs to check their phone 50 times a day?

Today, I have been alive for a quarter of a century.

All week I've been wondering what have I done with this time?

The only answer I can give myself is not enough, do more.

I love quiet moments, alone.

For many living in Portland, the rain might of been the first clue that fall is here. 

For a few, we saw it coming.

We discovered a new favorite hike this summer, Tamanawas Falls. If you feel brave enough, you can hike behind the actual waterfall into it's amphitheater. Sadly my film camera's aperture got stuck by the time we made it up there. Thankfully, memories last.

Our 'new' house

Jake and I went camping for a weekend by Mt. Hood (specifically here). Really we just hung out, went on some hikes, and built fires, but it felt much more than.
