At my dad's

Back at the beginning of the summer when I went and spent a day at my dad's I took a roll of film worth of pictures. I'm kind of in love with these and the way my step-mom has decorated her yard and my dad's dog. 

Forgotten

I forgot that I had pictures from the beginning of the month sitting in my digital camera until I went and took some pictures today. 

These are from the day after 4th of July (July 5th?), I woke up before everyone else and took this little guy for a walk along the Lewis River (I was staying at my dad's up in Washington).

He looks like a puppy but he's nearly two! He just got all his hair cut off for the summer.

I also found this on there, at the beginning of the month I ate cinnamon pancakes every day for about a week, one day I even put strawberries in them, they were delicious.

Some Things

Yesterday I had a conversation that made me realize a lot of things about myself that I usually try to ignore. It was a really good thing and I'm grateful that I had it, even if it wasn't the happiest. Sometimes you just need someone else to say the right things before you really see the whole thing.


The weather here is awful; it's freezing and wet out. Well, it isn't wet here in Portland, but it was quite rainy the entire drive from Bend back to Portland. Last weekend though we got some really nice, warm weather and I went up to my dad's for the day, that's where these pictures are from. I'm going to pick up a couple of rolls of film tomorrow. I don't know what's on them, I have a pretty big pile of film to get developed so it could be anything. I am pretty sure that one of them might have some pictures from my trip to the coast a while ago (as in February-ish), but I might be wrong. It's an exciting surprise.

Dad's

I spent last weekend with my dad, and some parts of his property out in the middle of nowhere are truly magical... as evidenced above. I took these at twilight, with the last of the light for the day, I wish there had been more light so I could show you more of his place.
