The Pacific Northwest is a strange wonderland. Full of vibrant ferns and lustrous wildflowers at Mt. Rainier National Park & Hoh Rainforest, the gem colored Diablo Lake, and the jagged North Cascade peaks. I was fortunate to spend the spring and summer of 2023 there. The summer feels so short and action packed, like a three month long adrenaline rush. It has taken some time for me to really understand what was accomplished there: epic photos created, new and old friends visited, and the food! It was a chapter of my life that I will remember fondly. The chapters seem short but are so dense that they could be novels in their own right.
