It’s true. You know how they say that the grass is always greener on the other side? Untrue.… unless Oregon is on the other side. Then I totally feel that.These are the colors I miss when I’m not in Oregon. And I think it’s easy to see why. Happy Hump Day, friends! Always, Aja Lynn
In taking my tulip pictures this year, I found myself very drawn to the incredible inside colors and designs. Especially when I returned to the gardens in the bright sun. Sometimes I feel like the tulip can seem like a rather simple flower. (That’s one of the things I love most about it.) But then you … Continue reading »
A while back I posted some pretty pictures from a drive we took from Seattle, down Whidbey Island and back with some friends. This set of photos was meant to be the final installment but, as is so very normal for me, I got distracted by the new pictures in my life. Since I’ve recently … Continue reading »
As I mentioned earlier in the week, we took a drive with some friends, north of Seattle. One of the highlights of our mini-trip was the Pass between Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. When Husband and I moved here back in October of 2009, this was one of our first road trip explorations of our new … Continue reading »
Yesterday, while we should most certainly have been preparing game day snacks and lounging on the couch in our gloomy Northwest winter weather, we instead decided to take a drive. … and this time we brought friends! We took a relatively short drive north and over to Whidbey Island and back to Seattle (via short ferry … Continue reading »
When we wandered off for a day trip into the mountains, we did not imagine we’d end up near Leavenworth, Washington. But by the time we found the snow and blue sky I had requested, it just seemed so close on the map, and we’d been meaning to get up there for quite some time. (Just to … Continue reading »
It’s another gloomy day here in Seattle. So I thought this would be a good moment to post a few more photos from this past weekend’s day trip into the Cascade Mountains. These were taken after our detour to Index but before we reached the pass. I actually hopped out of the car on a … Continue reading »
This past week here in Seattle, we’ve been pretty socked in. So, Husband and I took advantage of our Saturday and headed up a road we’d never taken; one of our favorite things to do. We headed northeast out of the city, out of the suburbs, out of the rural foothill communities and into the … Continue reading »
I’m gonna be honest with you … … it’s early today. I could ABSOLUTELY put together a better post. Absolutely. I even have pictures sorted, edited and ready to post. But today we’re traveling. Today I’m with my in-law family. Today I’m with the Step-Kiddos and just being honest with myself … … I’m not … Continue reading »
Last weekend I had one goal … to find and touch the open ocean. Contrary to what many might think, Seattle is quite a ways from open ocean. Instead we live on a fairly well protected sound, more than three hours (including a ferry ride) west of the Washington Coast. As a true-blue, Southern California girl, I’ve been … Continue reading »
