An awesome adventure!

So not this last weekend, but the weekend before I went to Bend, OR. I actually had plans to go to Portland and then to Seattle for that weekend, but a friend had car troubles and needed to stay a bit more local and save money. So we traveled to Bend stayed with a friend and went on a huge adventure. It was so so so much fun. :)

We ended up hiking near Broken Top in bend and we hiked up pretty far! We crossed the river down lower when it was easier to cross, and oh my gosh the water was so freaking cold! It was crazzzy, and then I found the cutest froggy! hehe. So after we crossed we hiked on an older trail that disappeared at times, but we just followed the river up, and up, annnnnd upppp... haha.






We actually got pretty close to broken top and if we would've brought camping/backpacking gear I totally would've spent the night up there. It was gorgeous. We ran into some guys up there who had these craaazzzy loud, huge dogs. And one of them in particular wanted to eat me for sure. He was so big. He kept barking at us. So scary, then we talked to the guy for a bit and he gave us mosquito repellent and that was quite nice considering we were getting eaten alive! So we finally made our way back down ran into another group, one guy in particular was eyeballing one of my guy friends..haha. so funny. and then we finally crossed back over the river and hiked our way back to the parking lot. :)





Ending with some group picture taking anddd my own little photography stuff. I'll post when I get the CD back! Considering I use a 35mm. :) It's love. Anyways. All and all a pretty awesome trip with friends.

This little guy.

SO FREAKING CUTE.
hehe.



My mom found him outside. I decided I'd name him George.
He was hoppin all over the place, my mom put him in a little container,
and brought him into my room while I was sleeping and woke me up to see him!
He was so cuteeee. So then I decided I wanted to share his cuteness.

I love how green he is. And his cute wittle markings. hehe.
He totally made my day. :)

A moment.

I did this today, I layed back and stared up at the sky.
The sun was shining, and in that moment I loved taking everything in.
The light filtering through the trees, the wind blowing through my hair,
the smell of the roses near by, the bright blue sky, it's really something beautiful.
We leave in a beautiful world.
and I'm happy to take it all in.

Oh what a day!

Today was sooo fun, I love shooting. It makes me so happy, getting outside and doing fun things and having pictures taken is always something to put me in a wonderful mood. It makes me smile real big, and I especially love shooting with Mr. Jeff Shanes. He's such an amazing photographer, and I feel like whenever we shoot together we create a masterpiece.
