While visiting my friend Ashley this week down in the Redwoods, we came upon a little patch of these orange blooms in her “backyard.”
They can be seen all along the roads right now in the Redwoods National Park, but this was my first up close and personal encounter.
They are so beautiful! I’ll admit, I was out there for a while….
Before opening
While visiting my ranger friend Ashley at Redwoods National Park in Northern California recently, we went frolicking in the forests behind her house.
Our socks are over our pants to prevent ticks (*shudder*) from getting to our legs. I think I’m clean, but I still imagine I can feel them crawling…
I’m finally getting around to sorting through my Nisqually photos, from a few weeks ago.
When my friend Siana came down from Bellingham we decided to head even further south to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge near Olympia.
Here are my favorites from that day:
Also, thanks to Evan for the food suggestion! If you ever find yourself in the Lacey Washington area, and if you like Indian food, be sure to check out the Curry Corner. Yum.

Laughter is the best medicine
So here are a few to make it up to you!
My old friends Katie and Ashley, along with our new friend Stan, are here visiting and today we went and did all the usual touristy things; EMP, Space Needle (though we didn’t go up, we’re going to check out Smith Tower on Saturday), Pike Street Market, the gum wall (Yum!) the Fremont Troll, and the like.
Isaac and I have been to these spots already, but its fun to go with people who haven’t seen this stuff yet :) Yay for friends!
Paying for the goods
As I work on these and my photos of Katie I will be posting more, so stay tuned!
Side note: Don’t do fiber shots! They’re dangerous! (This is for you, Ashley! :D )
