in February air

♫ “February Air” – LIGHTS Mustard has always been a “taboo” color for me, despite being a huge fan of it. One of my mentors told me that I didn’t look good in yellow while I was trying on a jacket, and I took that to heart. Last year I decided I didn’t care if […]

First snow of the season

It seems like it snows more often in February than any other month of the year here. I’ve been dying to get more photos of snow before spring comes, so I wasted no time going to the park. 🙂 I say that, but… I did have some trouble getting out off the house lol! Nibbles […]

Entiat, WA: Day 1

 This week was the beginning of our camping trip out in Entiat! We got on the road at around 7:30-8PM. I’ve been having issues with motion sickness lately so I took dramamine and immediately knocked out for the whole 3-hour drive (whoops!) I was able to snap some pictures when I did wake up, but […]
