Hi there! I'm back with a photo from Indian Beach on the Oregon Coast. Indian Beach is in Ecola State Park, which is in between Cannon beach and Seaside. It is a stunning park and worth a visit. Fun fact: The final scene of the original Point Break was filmed here! Taken on January 1st 2024 with an Olympus Stylus and Harman Poenix 200 film.

After 16 years of living here, a Trader Joe’s finally opened near me. I visited today and I’ve missed it, I’ll admit.

I’m home sick today due to getting my covid vaccine yesterday so I’m in bed knitting a hat with a bat motif

I really love how Portland has met this "war zone" narrative. It's seriously the most Portland thing ever and it's great.

This week I started eating breakfast within an hour of waking up, just as an experiment, and wow. It’s been a game changer. So much less grumpy

Social media is going to be a nightmare today.

Halfway into my 4 mile run I got a bloody nose. I walked much of the way back to my car and it took forever to stop bleeding so I looked quite dramatic to passersby

Last week at this time it was cool and rainy. Today it feels like the sun is trying to kill us. almost a hundred degrees outside. And there are people out there running Hood To Coast today! I've got to give them so much credit for being out there in this heat. The town that I live in is…

I've got to give them so much credit for being out there in this heat. The town that I live in is on the route and it's always so inspiring each year to see them run through town.

Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice 2024
Here is an attempt at a solar graph using a Solarcan Puck. I had the Puck sitting on my bedroom windowsill from Summer solstice to Winter solstice last year. I have never really had the best of luck with these extended solar graphs. I love to do these for a couple of days when I am on vacation somewhere, and I'll share some of those in future posts. The Puck is so easy to travel with! I love it!

I saw a big flag that said “Trump Forever” today and…I am just dumbfounded. Maybe
That’s the point? To troll the Libs? 🙄

Visited the most beautiful alpine lake near Mt Jefferson today. Brought my pinhole camera but forgot to
