March camera roll

I can’t believe I only posted once during March. What happened to March? I think Ferris Bueller said it best, "Life moves pretty fast." 

Lately it's been mostly work, gardening, Star Trek reruns, and weekend rockhounding.  I’m toying with doing the 100dayproject. I’m not sure what medium yet, but I like the idea of where it will take me.

In the meantime, this is a group of photos that may help paint my life’s picture of March.

mountain descending

Frenchman's Coulee

fantastic rock shop

summer in February
this last weekend we road tripped to eastern Washington which led to a very important question to ask myself: why do we not do this more often? in a very short amount of time, we felt like we were on vacation. these are just a few highlights of fantastic sunny warm weather, a couple hikes, and touristing in our state.

this week in coffee, or um tea

Moore Cafe, wow. this downtown/almost-Belltown coffee shop is darling, and to date has the most impressive latte art I've had. aesthetics aside, this was also the best matcha latte I've ever had! can't wait to go back and try one of their many varieties of waffles!
