Today is a typical rainy day in Seattle, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to catch up and try to share some images from my recent journey.

In the past two weeks my husband and I have sold our condo, packed up our home, grabbed our animals and drove nearly 2,000 miles through some of the most beautiful scenery.  Along the way I made sure to photograph the Badlands and the different terrain we encountered to get here.  Once we arrived to our new neighborhood, West Seattle, we immediately started to explore!  That exploration also lead us to Portland, Oregon and the Olympic National Park/Forest.  It has been a good two weeks.  Hope you enjoy what I have seen thus far

 My first introduction to Prairie DOGS!

We then made a quick stop to see Devils Tower!  Seriously amazing.

Then we made it to our new CITY! And we were welcomed to blue skies and 70degree weather. 

It didn’t take us long to get curious about our surrounding areas and do some nature-sh*t.  So, we took a day trip to Oregon and photographed some beautiful waterfalls and then stumbled into Portland to meet up with our friend Steven (Megabolt) and grab a bite to eat before heading back to Seattle.  After getting a few days in of exploring and nature seeing we spent the next few days focused on dropping off resumes and doing some ‘work’.  In between waiting for phone calls we took ferries and checked out different neighborhoods in the city.   We even brought Leland on the Ferry to Bainbridge Island for the day

Thus far, we have found that each neighborhood we venture into has such a unique and different feel then the next.  It reminds me a lot like how Chicago feels, which creates some familiarity for me.  But here are some photo’s taken here and there throughout our surrounding areas

Then another adventure began….a drive to the Olympic National Park.

And that is the start of a new beginning on the West Coast.  More to come…as more adventures are to be made
