The visual contrast here was appealing. I really love fall.

When deejaying isn't paying the bills and you decide to just give up and go live on a farm... but a very small part of you holds onto the dream.

More pics from that camping trip! Milking it for all it's worth at this point. 😂 After a brief detour into BC, I came back across the border and went to Spokane. Camped the night on top of Mount Spokane, which had some gorgeous views.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
A photo of a strange breakfast on a marble table. There is a mason jar full of coffee, a single serving of yogurt, a plate with biscuits and sausage gravy, and a bowl filled to the brim with ice cream.

On my camping trip through eastern Washington and neighboring areas, I stopped for a few minutes in Greenwood, BC. I happened to notice this memorial that they very recently built, commemorating the Japanese Canadians who were forced to relocate to Greenwood during WWII.

All of my previous visits to Canada have been to Vancouver specifically, or at least would take me through Vancouver. I always make sure I have at least one helping of poutine at a place in Davie Village. This time around, this stop in Osoyoos had to do. 🤷‍♂️ It was alright though.

More highlights from my big trip. I said I was camping across eastern Washington, but I did pop across the border. It's hard to resist. Canada is just so pretty.

Why does Bluesky only let me post four images at a time? 😩 Anyway, more highlights from my big eastern Washington camping trip. See alt text.
A wide shot of Dry Falls, a long cliff that was once the site of the largest waterfall on the planet during the last ice age. A plaque at Dry Falls. "Flood waters, perhaps 300 feet above you, once rushed over these cliffs. "During the ice age, glaciers to the north blocked the Columbia River and forced it to find a new route. The river, swollen from melting glacial ice, began to carve a new channel here. But that was only the beginning. "A river in Idaho found no way around its ice dam. The river filled its valley with a huge lake that flooded many square miles of Montana — until the ice dam broke. With a flow up to ten times, the combined flow of all the rivers of the world, the lake emptied across Idaho and onto eastern Washington. Much of the water rushed through the new channel opened by the Columbia River. The turbulent water enlarged the channel and created huge waterfalls. Eastern Washington was scoured by many such floods, each lasting only a few weeks. "When the last flood subsided, large areas of eastern Washington were left scarred with dry channels, called coulees. This one, the Grand Coulee, is the largest. Cutting across the coulee is Dry Falls. This 3½ mile wide and over 400 foot tall group of scalloped cliffs was at one time the largest waterfall in the world.

If you're a person, get the fuck out of here! No fireworks for you! 😤

A few weeks ago, I camped in the Wallowas with some friends. It's so gorgeous over there! Wish I could have stayed longer.

The camas plants I'm holding onto for a friend are almost ready to bloom! I'm so excited!

A friend who works for city parks dug up like a hundred camas bulbs (Camassia quamash) in one of the parks downtown. We replanted 50 of them today. First gardening experience!

I had the best time in LA last week! Just the break I needed from my seasonal-affective day-to-day routine. I couldn't have asked for better weather.
