The Forests & Beaches of Olympia
Calvin and I flew out to Washington to support our best friends at the Olympus Rally. If you’d like to see the photos I took of the rally then CLICK HERE to visit our media page on facebook. While we were there we were fortunate enough to have time to hike a few different places around Shelton or visit the beach of Mud Bay daily. The PNW is one of my favorite places to visit and getting to spend so much time in nature there was so special. Most mornings I awoke early enough enjoy my coffee as the sun rose over the bay. In the evenings when we were busy at the service area there were some spectacular sunsets. We soaked up the last warm rays of evening sun shining between the tall pines as the air quickly grew cold. Off in the distance you could see Mt. Rainier in all its snowcapped beauty. Coming from the midwest I don’t take all that moss covered beauty for granted. It was pretty incredible to see both the beach and a temperate rainforest daily.

Today’s tune comes from the Metropole Orkest. I downloaded the Arakatak album to enjoy while I read on my flight. Their music is playful, imaginative, and bright as they explore the bounds of jazz, pop, and fusion. A perfect score to accompany you on a whimsical adventure through the forest of photos!

The irises are blooming and there is a new exhibit at MoBot that I’m itching to photograph so hopefully I can get over there soon.
